Product Description
Same Hamptons,all new games Not-so-poor-anymore Eliza has traded babysitting for velvet-rope-sitting. And Jacqui, in an odd twist, is doing all the babysitting because Mara's up every night doing her best second-rate party girl impression at the hot club where Eliza works. At first it's annoying, but the new au pair, Philippe, is sexy and French -- but off-limits to Jacqui, who claims she's sworn off guys. Your favorite bikini-clad au pairs are back. But this summer, if it's possible, they will have more fun, more sun, and more romance than they know how to handle.

i was a huge fan of the first au pairs book, and this one is better, i think. it delves deeper into mara's and eliza's characters and really lets you know where they're coming from and why they do the things they do. i wont give anything away, but if you liked the first one, you'll adore this one. hope this helps!!

Well, I was a big fan of the first book, The Au Pairs. This book does indeed develop deeper into Mara and Jaqui's character. Eliza, the ex-It girl, has rented a little cottage for the summer. Her family is doing better and instead of working as an au-pair for the Perry Family, she worked at an upcoming hot club called Seventh Circle. Mara is now the It-girl since dating Ryan Perry. Jaqui is focused on her job because she wants to stay in New York the year and finish school up there and hopefully go to NYU. Her plan worked, up until she met the new au pair, the hot French Phillepe. Read the book to find out more. This book is so totally awesome!!!!
An interesting and enjoyable continuation to The Au Pairs June 28, 2005

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.

A very Interesting book.............. August 12, 2005

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.

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!!!!
