SCARLETT FEVER begins shortly after the events of SUITE SCARLETT: the hotel's performance of Hamlet has just finished, the summer is winding down, and Scarlett is still racing around on crazy errands for the unshakable Mrs. Amberson, who's started her own agency with Scarlett's brother, Spencer, as her first client. She's also trying her best to forget about Eric, the boy who broke her heart, though she's often less than successful.

Soon, Scarlett finds herself faced with a whole series of distractions. Mrs. Amberson has her eyes on a new client, and she wants Scarlett to keep an eye on the actress's prickly brother at school. Spencer finally gets a new acting role, which ends up making him and the Martin family a target of crazed TV fans. Scarlett's little sister, Marlene, has some secret up her sleeve, and her usually stable older sister, Lola, is coming apart at the seams.

Scarlett soon finds herself forced to take sides and question if any of the people around her are exactly who she thought.

Fans of SUITE SCARLETT will jump into Scarlett's continuing madcap journey through life with glee. The laughs are frequent, but there are plenty of poignant moments, too, and it's easy to relate to Scarlett's struggle to deal with her shifting impressions of her family and peers. The supporting characters, both those familiar and the new, are full of life. The greatest pleasure, of course, comes from seeing how Scarlett and the others will get themselves out of the complicated messes they inevitably find themselves in.

This reviewer's only complaint is that the book ends so abruptly I had to wonder if I'd gotten a copy that was missing a chapter or two. Hopefully, this is a promise of a third Scarlett book to come!

The second book in Maureen Johnson's Scarlett Series was just as entertaining as the first. This book starts not long after the first ended. Summer has come to and end, Scarlett's friends have returned to the city, and Scarlett is working for Mrs. Amberson as her new agency trying to get Spencer hs next job and signing her next big star. But all of this is not enough to help her forget her "almost" relationship this past summer with Eric, who she now cyber-stalks by watching the video of his Commercial repeatedly.


If you loved Mrs. Amberson before you will love her again as her crazy antics continue after getting Spencer a role on Scarlett's favorite shwo "Crime adn Punishment." Not to give anything away to those who have not read the book, Spencer has a very memorable part to the fans of the show, which leads to some crazy moments around NYC for Scarlett and Spencer.


Then their is the broadway actress Chelsea, who Mrs. Amberson signs to the agency with the promise that Scarlett will spy on her brother Max at school.


And lets not forget the other Martin siblings Lola and Marlene. Lola after the break-up with Chip seems to be lost in the world not knowing where she is going or what she is doing with her life. And Marlene is up to something of her own since she is being nice to Scarlett at every chance.


I enjoyed the book and Maureen Johnson did not disapoint, will there be a third book of Scarlett?
