What follows in the blurb (Annie 'in the process becoming entrapped in the lies etc. that threaten the baby and her' is the remaining 75% of the book.) (When Annie takes the baby she is sought as a baby stealer. The police are after her. Monroe offers a ten million dollar reward. Vigilante groups form to get her. That sort of thing.)

Suddenly the book is a lot more interesting. I'm going to be really, really annoying here and suggest that the problem with the blurb - and this is also the problem with a fair few books themselves - is that it starts at the beginning.
A teenager getting a nanny job is boring, no matter how stoked she is about it.
A teenager on the run with a baby, who needs to lie low because she is pursued by authorities for reasons we haven't yet been told? THAT is interesting.
