Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson

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.

My Thoughts:

Before I got this book, I was REALLY excited to be getting it and reading it. It looked really good and I like Maureen Johnson. So when I started reading it I realized it wasn't as good as I thought it would be BUT I still really liked it! I loved the relationship between Scarlett and her older brother. But I didn't like that her younger sister, Marlene, seemed to hate her so much. I didn't really understand that. I really liked Lola's character! She seemed So nice and sweet! Marlene seemed so bratty and mean! Spencer was probably my favorite because he seemed like a really funny cool brother. I loved his way of making people laugh! If I ever had a brother I would want him to be like Spencer. Anyways, When they first introduced Eric into the story I really liked him. But later with all the drama he was bringing I didn't like so much. With his girlfriend and all... Lol anways, I almost forgot about Mrs. Amberson! How can I forget about her! She was also one of my favorite characters. She was a funny women and I LOVED her crazy personality! This book was fun and I really liked it! A lot of crazy things happened to all these characters and it was really interesting to read. Im giving this book a...
