Review 11: Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson

Title: Suite Scarlett
Author: Maureen Johnson
Publishers: Point Publishers
Rating: 9/10
"It was 8:03 in the morning. And it was Scarlett's birthday."
The Lowdown:
Scarlett lives in a hotel in NYC. Sounds awesome, right? Except for the fact that her sister is dating a millionaire, her cancer-survivor sister is mad at her for something she doesn't understand, and her brother is getting nowhere. Oh, and the fact that they're almost broke.
How is Scarlett going to deal with this and the fact that she is crushing on her brother's new partner, as well as an eccentric new guest? Only God knows.
The Good:
A. The cover (I'm always praising covers, aren't I?)
B. The plot (predictable at first, then non-predictable, and then predictable.)
C. The characters- especially Mrs. Amberson.
D. The length
The Bad:
A. I didn't really like the ending all that much.
B. The Acts in the beginning were kind of useless. All this time I was thinking that there would be some point for all of this, but not really.
The Consensus:
This book was awesome. Read it; Maureen Johnson brings another devilishly awesome novel (there is a joke in there.)
