The Summer Nanny by Holly Chamberlain

I adored this story. The story bounced around and gave a glimpse into multiple situations and multiple characters. Typically, I tend to have a harder time with stories that bounce around, but the short chapters made it so easy.

I would have liked to see a little more detail on Yorktide and the different places around town. Sometimes I think the mundane details of a plant in the corner or how the furniture was arranged could have added to the story, particularly when Amy was with Cressida or when a chapter was taking place in the Franklin home. I also felt like the character development could have been better too. The readers get a lot of detail on Hayley and Amy, but I would have liked to see more on Will, Ethan, Vera and Nora (among others). They add a great deal to the story, but we don’t get a huge amount of details on them in my opinion.

Overall, I definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for a little bit of an easier beachy read. I really hope Holly adds a sequel to this book into her Yorktide series.
