The Au Pairs Melissa de la Cruz Books Reviews

Light and fun and a little less mean and snobby than the Gossip Girl novels, The Au Pairs offers a fun and fluffy read perfect for pool-side enjoyment.
All three main characters are likeable and, unlike those too-enviable GG characters, you'll be rooting for them from page 1. Especially the small-town girl, Mara, who is certainly a fish out of water in the glitzy, party-all-night world of the Hamptons. The girls' conflicts add some depth to what might otherwise be a no-brainer sort of novel. Mara strives for independance and self-acceptance, Liza copes with her new lifestyle and Jaqui just wants to be loved for her brain and not her cup size. The setting offers a glimpse into the uber-rich, uber-exclusive world of the Hampton-ites and is quite appealing.
You'll be sorry to see their summer end, but - fear not - the author appears to have set them up for a sequel. Christmas in Palm Beach, anyone?
The "Au pairs" by Melissia de la Cruz was pretty good, but only for a lazy summer day. It definitly wasn't a novel that I would have read otherwise. It might have been better if books like Gossip Girl and the A-list weren't so good. The story revoles around three girls with totally different personalities, working as au pairs in the Hamptons. Mara, the goody-goody, is working there beacuse she needs the money for college, Eliza, the riches to rags girl, is there to regain her name and pretend that she's still rich. Last but not least there's Jauqui, the sexy Brazilian who men can't get enough of. She is there to find an American boy name luke who she had met the summer befroe and had fallen in love with.

The book, all in all, was pretty predictable. It was obvious that Mara and Ryan would become more than friends from the start. It was also obvious that Eliza would realize that money and rich friends wasn't everything. And, in the end, makes real friends who don't care if she has money or not. And Jauqui's outcome was so perdictable when Luke started taking her to ratty restaurnats in the East Hamptons.

So if your looking for a good beach read, then this is the book for you. Also, this book is going to be part of a whole series of au pair books, so it may get better)
I chose to read this book during my summer holiday. I wanted something light and easy to read. This definitely fit that need. I've read other books by De La Cruz and enjoyed them. I did enjoy this one too although not as much as I thought. The plot and storyline were a bit obvious and one could guess where things would go with each character. Yes, the characters were quite shallow and as another reviewer said, I had to keep reminding myself that these girls were only 16/17 (with all the sleeping around, alcohol and drugs I just kept thinking they were older). I know I'm probably showing my own age by admitting that, but I am not naïve enough to think it doesn't happen.

Again, I wasn't expecting a novel, just a fun summer read which is what this book was. I will say that despite the shallow characters and obvious storyline, I still enjoyed the book... seeing what it's like to be a teenager running wild in the Hamptons. Some things I still question and wonder if that is TRULY what it's like to be a millionaire having all these people work for you and raising/ or thinking that you are raising your children. The amount of time the Au Pairs spent with the children in this books was miniscule... I kept thinking... who is watching those kids?..certainly not au pairs or the parents. Granted, it IS just a story, but it still made me wonder (especially after reading stories like The Nanny Diaries, Gossip Girls, and some other stories about the rich and elite).

I liked the ending and the way De La Cruz wrapped up the story, while still allowing room for sequels later on. That being said there was an excerpt of the next book and frankly I was a little surprised and what was coming. Something about that except turned me off. Now, I am going to read the next book because I am very curious, but I was truly hoping the girls learned their lessons from their summer adventures, but apparently not.

Overall, I'd give this book 3 to 3 1/2 stars. It was a nice easy read, but this is not a book that would be one I'd read again.
It was in perfect condition. I loved it.
This book may start off a little slow but quickly goes into action with the many party's the girls went to and the relationships you will be routing for through the whole book. Overall a great book and is a series.can't wait to read them all!
Great read. Read the entire series. Really enjoyed the books.
We are first starting on this series so we will see what the girls have to say.
