Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau:
Almost Famous meets Daisy Jones and the Six in this funny, wise, and tender novel about a fourteen-year-old girl’s coming of age in 1970s Baltimore, caught between her straight-laced family and the progressive family she nannies for—who happen to be secretly hiding a famous rock star and his movie star wife for the summer.
"Blau’s intelligent, witty novel captures the essence of the '70s with humor and immensely appealing characters. Highly recommended."
