Nanny Returns, a sequel to
The Nanny Diaries, begins 12 years after the events of the first novel. Nan has married her "Harvard Hottie" and has a burgeoning consultancy business. One evening, Grayer (for whom she was once a nanny) arrives on her doorstep. Nan is once again drawn into the strange world of the dysfunctional X family and their friends. Her interactions with them may color her feelings about whether to have her own children. Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus' novel has received positive reviews with BookPage saying, "
Nanny Returns once more relies on the combination of humor and heartbreaking truth that made the first installment of this series so successful, and McLaughlin and Kraus do a good job of examining the ways in which the rich are truly poor, as well as Nan’s attempts to make peace with her past."
