Scarlett Martin might seem like she lives a charmed life. Her family own an old New York hotel and she is an assistant to a Broadway theatrical agent while still attending one of the top schools in the city – and all at the age of 16. The hotel happens to be falling down though, and the talent agency consists of one crazy boss and one client, a unicycle-riding Shakespearian actor: her brother. So Scarlett doesn’t find her life charming so much as catastrophic. Let’s not even start on her not-quite love life.

If you haven’t yet come across the Martin family and the crazy New York high jinks that surround them, you have been missing out. Maureen Johnson writes a screwball romantic comedy that makes you laugh out loud while genuinely rooting for Scarlett and her crazy but loveable family and friends. The best summer book ever. Well, that is since the last one, Suite Scarlett – the prequel.
