Skinny-Dipping (2) (Beach Lane) Paperback – May 7, 2013

I read the first and had to buy this one. Its easy reading and she describes everything really good. It definately is juicier! I would love to move to the Hamptons to see what she is talking about and/or even be an au pair. She is a great author i just pretty much bought all her books. im 22 and enjoy reading this on the beach and when im home too!!!!

I really loved the book. It was a fun and easy read with believable characters. If your looking for something light and funny then this is the book for you.

SKINNY-DIPPING brings poor Mara, rich then poor Eliza, and Brazilian Jacqui back to the Hamptons for another summer of adventures. Fans of last year's THE AU PAIRS have been waiting for the hinted-at sequel where Mara, Eliza and Jacqui were supposed to go on a tropical winter break with the Perry family. For some reason, that idea was abandoned, and there is only brief mention of Eliza and Jacqui's winter with the Perrys, where Eliza and Ryan Perry were up to no good while Mara was away. That's just the beginning of the changes for this summer.Eliza gets a job with a hot club instead of working with the Perry children, and a new au pair, Philippe, moves into the quarters with Mara and Jacqui. Philippe is as handsome as he is mysterious, and Jacqui tries to overcome an attraction to him.Mara is still recovering from breaking up with Ryan by partying too much and dating Mr. Shallow and Wrong. She loves all the attention her uber-it self is getting from photographers and designers, but Eliza and Jacqui are growing tired of her.Eliza never sees Jeremy while he is busy at his finance job, and ends up spending too much time with Ryan again. Her job is hard work --- catering to spoiled Hamptonites is not the glamorous status return she was hoping for.Readers will enjoy the references to the latest designer duds and party trends, but the Hamptons is a small place and it will be interesting to see in future books what changes await these girls after they are college-bound and on breaks.--- Reviewed by Amy Alessio

This book is great to entertain yourself in a boring weekend, it really gets a hold on you.I read the first one also, which I liked better; I think you could see more clearly the way in which three different teenagers, coming from three very different places get together in a place that consists in a material world. Comparing the two books, you could simply say that the first one is a little more realistic.At the end of the first book, the three au pairs end up being great friends with new plans and expectations for their next meeting, but things will change faster than they think, and when they come back to The Hanptons there will be more conflics, more drama,and much more complications with the girls' characters and the way they react to the never-endless chaos in which the people from The Hamptons live.by: Carla R.

This is the second book in the Au Pairs series. Although aimed at teen audiences, I am an adult and I enjoyed this book (as I did the first one).The writing is fun and the storyline kind of plays into everyone's fantasy of getting away from it all for the summer and to play in the Hamptons. Meet rich people and do exciting things that we would not normally get a chance to do.Having said this, if you are the type who needs to have a strong, solid, realistic storyline than DO NOT purchase this book. The Mara character especially is so unrealistic (everything she does is picture worthy and oh so, perfect) that you will want to gag.However, if you don't mind this than go ahead and read this one. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that there is a part trois sometime down the road.

Enjoyed the story, kept my attention
