Book Recommendation

Looking for a good new book to read? Want to know one I'd suggest? Here's my Book Recommendation for this week.

Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson.

First off, if you've ever read a book by Maureen Johnson, you know anything else written by her would have to be amazing. She's one of my top ten favorite writers of all time, so I knew I needed to suggest one of her books.

This story is centered around newly-turned fifteen-year-old Scarlett Martin, who lives in New York City in her family's own hotel, the Hopewell. It's a shabby shell of a former glamorous Art Deco-style haven, that gets the occasional guest now and then. Because of this, money's tight in the Martin family, but nonetheless, when each kid of the clan turns fifteen, they're expected to take over one of the suites in the hotel.
Scarlett doesn't expect much when she gets the Empire Suite, until a permanent guest and former "star" named Ms. Amberson moves in. Soon, Scarlett is taking to her every whim and running around the Big Apple trying to please her guest. But she'll also have to deal with figuring out her love life, helping her adorkable older bro' out, dealing with the complications of her older sister's life, and staying out of the way of the youngster of the family's prying ways.

I'm a total sucker for romances; everything I read has to have some type of love, the gushier the better. So let me say that this book was not lacking, but it wasn't over-the-top either. But it had funny parts (especially with Ms. Amberson in there), sympathetic parts, drama, love, and overall perfection. Maureen Johnson is such a skilled writer and entertainer; her books are by far the best ones out there (not to mention her creativity!)

Go find this book now, you will not be disappointed! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did <3.
