Mary Jane is 14 in 1975 and is the child of old school parents who behave like they are in the 50s. The Dad is a grouch who never talks and the Mom does nothing but cook and clean and scowl at people who aren’t like them. They are a stereotypical “nice family” who are really uptight bigots.

She gets a job as a summer Nanny for a neighbor family who is scandalous in every way because they are young, messy, Jewish, pot smokers who are harboring two super famous people while one does intensive therapy for his drug addiction.

Mary Jane learns a lot about people over her summer with the hippies and opens her eye to the world outside her own living room.

What a great coming of age novel that shows us just how far society has come. Mary Jane is far older than her years and makes in my opinion really realistic decisions as she navigates the world outside her 70s suburbia

When you want to OD on 70s nostalgia, this is the book (she had me at the description of sitting by the stereo listening to the soundtrack from Pippin). Very charming and heart-warming
