Shop Indie BookstoresI was soooooo mad when this book ended. Once I got into Scarlett Fever, the sequel to Suite Scarlett, I was hooked and then it just ended on me. I am definitely already ready for the next installment of this fabulous New York girl and her life.
So Scarlett Fever picks up after the first book, obviously. The hotel Hamlet production has ended and now life seems blank, bleary, and boyless as Scarlett looks around the empty hotel. School's about to start and she still works for the crazy Mrs. Amberson, but she can't stop thinking about Eric, her sort-of boyfriend from the summer.
Mrs. Amberson started her own acting agency which has one client (Spencer, Scarlett's brother) as of now, but they are hoping to find more.
Scarlett's older siblings seem depressed while her younger sister, Marlene is strangely acting nice.
On top of all this, enter Chelsea Biggs and her crazy stage mom....oh, and Max, Chelsea's brother. Mrs. Amberson wants Chelsea to sign with the agency but needs to use her "secret weapon," Scarlett to seal the deal and make it work. Scarlett finds herself starting school, pining away for Eric, dealing with her brothers acting career, walking a rat dog that pees everywhere, and getting annoyed to death by Max who is in high school yet seems to act like a troll or fifth grader every time she's around him.
Sounds like a wonderful start to the year, huh?
Well, in this second book you get to follow Scarlett around the city on her crazy errands and adventures as she continues to find her place in the city, the world, and her own life. I loved this book just as much as the first and can't wait for Scarlett #3. (And I am wondering what the next titles will be and how they will use Scarlett's name....Oh, and my only beef with this book is the cover. I know it matches the paperback....but I'm annoyed that it doesn't "go" with the first book...they don't look like sister books or friends....but that's not really a big deal.)
