It suffers, though, from having all the characters be fleshed out -- except the narrator. Throughout the story, I had no clue about her motivations (other than she liked Eric), or her personality other than going along with everyone else's mad schemes. It was still enjoyable but I wished that after 380 pages, I knew Scarlett better. Scarlett Martin and her family own and run the old Hopewell hotel in New York City. When Amy Amberson comes to stay at the Hopewell, life changes for Scarlett as she becomes what amounts to Mrs. Amberson's personal assistant. In her quest to experience old New York, Mrs. Amberson ends up helping produce Scarlett's brother Spencer's play and helping Scarlett with her love life as she tries to figure out her relationship with another of the actors in Spencer's play named Eric. With lots of zany adventures, humor, and romance, this story offers a lot to readers. The story is well-written and enjoyable. Amy Amberson's background is partially explained in this book, but it seems as though there should be much more about her, hopefully in other books in this series. I love just about everything Maureen Johnson has written her characters are great and I love her stories. Her series tend to be quite different from each other but they are all good in their own right. Maureen Johnson is not only a great writer but she is also amazing on Twitter I highly recommend following her. no reviews | add a review
