Scarlett Martin lives with her parents, sisters Lola and Marlene, and older brother Spencer, in a five story high, run down art deco hotel. It sounds chique when you hear someone is living in a hotel in New York City. But the hotel has known better days. There aren't many guests and the only staff is the family. Every member of the family is in charge for one of the suites.


One day, a very excentric guest checks in, Ms Amy Amberson. Through the book we learn more of the excentric past of her... Ms Amberson takes Scarlett under her wing. And she takes also another thing under her wing....when the theatre group of Spencer gets in trouble and has no rehearsal space, Ms Amberson knows what to do..And then Scarlett falls in love with one of her brothers theatre group actors..


Suite Scarlett is an excellent and very artistic piece of ya fiction. I think it was very different if you compare it with most of the ya fiction.


This was not the usual high school/romance/drama story. This was an excellent story of an (in my eyes) lovely hotel in New York City. Combined with real characters and lots of style and a big part for theater. If you love theater and New York,(as I do) this is a perfect original and very interesting read. If there really was a Hotel Martin in New York, I would certainly stay there. This would be also a good plot for a movie!
