I loved the relationship with the nanny they were both willing to sacrifice so much even to the point of no return.

Finlay is a newly divorced single mom of two who can't pay her bills. She's also a struggling suspense writer of books no one wants to read. All she wants this morning is for her two children to quietly eat their breakfast...and for their overdue nanny to ARRIVE NOW! Author and single mom Finlay Donovan has been in messes before―after all, she's a pro at removing bloodstains for various unexpected reasons―but none quite like this. When Finlay and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they had "borrowed" in the process of saving the life of Finlay's ex-husband, the Russian mob did her a favor and bought the car for her. And now Finlay owes them.She makes her meeting with her agent, at a Panera, of all places, and they have a great, albeit slightly stressful discussion about Finlay's career. I loved the relationship between Finlay & Vero! Vero was always there for Finlay no matter what & I loved that friendship! This book puts the F in fun! It is such an original plot that is was so refreshing to read. It was a part thriller, mystery with a side of twisted humor- all wins in my book! Making matters worse, on the morning of a very important meeting with her agent, to discuss her barely existent new novel, Finlay discovers her ex-hubby has also fired their nanny. Without giving her any advanced notice!

Vero looked confused. “I’m sorry. Do I know you? Because I thought I worked for a vampire in yoga pants.”Finally, the story works because at the heart of the tale is one big mystery and several smaller ones that were unpredictable. And the HOA is going to put a lien on the house if you don’t pay the special assessment bill they sent you in June.” This novel is pure fun from the very first chapter. You are immediately thrown into the chaos of Finlay's life and into her riotous inner musings. LibraryReads “February 2021: Top 10 Books Published This Month That Library Staff Across The Country Love”Funny and smart, twisty and surprising—Finlay Donovan is a character to root for. This suspenseful romp made me laugh but also kept me on the edge of my seat with its many surprising. I can't wait for the next book!”— Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Guest House The author also does a great job of making Finlay really likable in a situation that potentially could have made her an unlikeable protagonist. It’s hard not to root for Finlay, her friendship with her nanny and partner-in-crime Vero, and the men who vie for her heart. I totally enjoyed this zany story, which delighted and surprised me from beginning to end. It looks like this will be the start of a series, and I couldn't be more excited. With that little bombshell of an ending, I can only hope our wait for the next book isn't too tortuously long.
