Ha, after bashing The Au Pairs, read the next two books in the series quickly, chomping them down like nobody's business.

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen - good YA fiction about a girl who is being shunned by her best friend. Apparently two of her previous books inspired the god awful How To Deal movie starring Mandy Moore. Why is it that movies can never get the soul of a book right?

Little White Lies by Gemma Townley - another cutsey chick lit book. Ending tied up nicely, I suppose.

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell - interesting and thought-provoking look into snap judgements and their accuracy (pretty good, as it happens).
