Her new summer job comes with baggage.Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small hotel in the heart of New York City, and Scarlett lives there with her four siblings - Spencer, Lola, and Marlene.When each of the Martins turns fifteen, they are expected to take over the care of a suite in the once elegant, now shabby Art Deco hotel. For Scarlett's fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite, and a permanent guest called Mrs. Amberson.Scarlett doesn't quite know what to make of this C-list starlet, world traveler, and aspiring autobiographer who wants to take over her life. 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, Broadway glamour, romantic missteps, and theatrical deceptions. But in the city where anything can happen, she just might be able to pull it off.Praise for Suite Scarlett:"I can't wait until my room at the Hopewell is ready." - Meg Cabot"This book is made of funny and smart and whimsical deliciousness (really, lick a page and taste for yourself)." - Libba Bray"I couldn't put it down." - Michele Jaffe"I loved it!" - E. Lockhart"An utterly winning, madcap Manhattan farce, crafted with a winking, urbane narrative and tight, wry dialogue." - ALA Booklist, starred review.

Wow... I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. It was actually pretty good. This is my first novel that I've read by Maureen Johnson and I am not disappointed in picking this book up. Mind you, there are some things that I found a bit annoying but that didn't deter me from finishing ...

I wasn't as pulled into this book as I was with 13 Little Blue Envelopes, nor does it have an easy "sell line" like the other does. Scarlett lives in an aging art deco hotel with her family. The hotel has been struggling for ages and her parents have been laying off staff to the point that each chil...
