(4) YA Sixteen-year-old Justin has the perfect plan to meet girls: become a nanny in the Hamptons. While not nearly as salacious as Melissa de la Cruz's The Au Pairs, this is probably a more realistic look at teenage summer relationships. Despite the book's sitcom ending, Justin is a likable character whose bumbling efforts at romance are entertaining.
