Today I want to talk about Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson. I read this book around a year ago now and I fell in love. Of course, I love just about everything I've read by MJ, but this one is possibly my favorite. It's funny, it's unique, and the characters are just fantastic. (Personally, my favorite is Spencer. I would love to meet him, I really would.) The idea is so cool, too. Trying to pull of a secret play in a hotel (that just happens to be your home)? Awesome. I laughed out loud while reading this, and I also connected to it in a lot of ways. And the sequel, Scarlett Fever, is just as great. Go read!!!
Goodreads Description:
Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small Art Deco hotel in the heart of New York City.
When each of the Martins turns fifteen, they are expected to take over the care of a suite. For Scarlett’s fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite and a permanent guest named Mrs. Amberson. Scarlett doesn’t quite know what to make of this C-list starlet and world traveler.
And when she meets Eric, an astonishingly gorgeous actor who has just moved to the city, her summer takes a second unexpected turn.
Before the summer is over, Scarlett will have to survive a whirlwind of thievery and romantic missteps. But in the city where anything can happen, she just might be able to pull it off.
I love this book so much.
