Review

"There are a lot of pieces packed into Johnson's caper comedy, and at times the fantastical plot feels a bit unwieldy. However, the authentic charm of the characters and the endearing sweetness of their odd familial relationships do, finally, make this light read worthwhile."

"Hilariously pointed characterizations...and a family future in looming peril drive this over-the-top comedy of conflicting and dramatic personae, all presented with wry New Yorker aplomb."

First line

The Hopewell has been a family-run institution on the Upper East Side for over seventy-five years. It is a jewel box of a hotel, just a slender five stories in the East Sixties, just blocks from Central Park. Furnished in 1929 at the very height of Art Deco style by one of the top designers of the age, J. Allen Raumenberg, it remains a bastion of classic Jazz Age New York glamour.

Publisher's note

Fifteen-year-old Scarlett Marvin is stuck in New York City for the summer working at her quirky family's historic hotel, but her brother's attractive new friend and a seasonal guest who offers her an intriguing and challenging writing project improve her outlook.

Annotation

A farcical, humorous coming-of-age story, SUITE SCARLETT follows Scarlett Martin’s 15th summer as she navigates her family hotel’s crisis, helps her brother pull off a production of HAMLET, and falls for a boy for the first time. Throw in Mrs. Amberson, an eccentric, wealthy guest who turns the place upside-down with her wild notions, and Scarlett’s crazy summer is about to get even more nutty.
