Dear Savvy Mom:

I know you probably haven’t had the time to get through all the books I suggested last summer, but I thought I would pass on some of my latest faves to save you and your readers some time. After all, nothing says summer like lying in the hammock reading a good book.

My top pick for a fun summer read is The Manny by Holly Peterson. It’s the story of busy Manhattan mom Jamie Whitfield whose troubled nine year old son is desperately in need of a father figure. With her power attorney husband increasingly locked in his study working away on suspicious files and her own career as a news producer on an upward trajectory, she hires herself a ‘manny’ to be the role model her son needs. Enter Peter Bailey—the cool, competent man who reminds her of who she once was—and you’ve got one great story, both hilarious and heart-wrenching.
