Suite Scarlett: Maureen Johnson

If your family owns a hotel in New York City and on your fifteenth birthday you get your own suite, it seems you would have it made for the summer. As Scarlett relates it, it’s not quite that glamorous when the hotel is run entirely by your family and getting your own suite means being responsible for its guests and cleaning.

Scarlett has little hope that her summer will be exciting – what with all the housekeeping and her richer friends away for the summer – but all that changes with the arrival of a rich, mysterious guest (a former Broadway star) who hires Scarlett as her assistant. Throw into the mix her brothers’ acting troupe performing Shakespeare in the parking garage and his sexy actor friend and Scarlett’s summer becomes a fantastic, funny romp through New York.

I fell in love with Scarlett and her wry, sarcastic take on the craziness that surrounds her and her family. After all, how can you go past Hamlet performed on unicycles?!
