Au Pairs series.
Jacqui, Mara, and Eliza spend their fourth summer together in the Hamptons. Eliza's career as a fashion designer takes off; Jacqui begins modeling with the help of a famous Australian photographer; and Mara writes a blog about her life. This installment, full of the usual parties, boys, and brand names, doesn't offer anything more substantial than the previous books did--but like those trifles, it's just as hard to put down.

YA
Au Pairs series.
This sequel to The Au Pairs is just as salacious as the first book. While Mara and Jacqui are again nannying, Eliza has gotten a job at the newest hot club in the Hamptons. Secret trysts, sexy clothes, and friendships on the line make this a trite, though enjoyable, guilty pleasure.
