Sex and the City with a baby: the hot new Manhattan novel is a brilliantly entertaining romantic comedy about a harassed working mum who hires a male nanny.
Jamie Whitfield is a rarity among the sleek and chic of 'The Grid' - the exclusive block of the Upper East Side where it's all about keeping up with the Vanderbilts. She's a working mother, from the wrong side of the tracks and is never quite going to fit in, much to the dismay of her husband Phillip. But while he's worrying that they're the poor white trash of The Grid, struggling along on a mere one mill a year, Jamie is more concerned about her unhappy nine-year-old boy Dylan.
On the verge of breaking the story that could make her reporting career, and facing mutiny from her son, she hires a Manny - a male nanny and the new 'must-have' accessory on The Grid. And Peter proves to be a life-saver in more ways than she could ever have imagined...

`Money, Manners, Mannys: Holly Peterson's debut is a fabulously sharp skewering of the silly-rich in New York. I couldn't put it down. We should ALL get a Manny.' Plum Sykes
