Her new summer job comes with baggage.
Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small hotel in the heart of New York City, and Scarlett lives there with her four siblings - Spencer, Lola, and Marlene.
When each of the Martins turns fifteen, they are expected to take over the care of a suite in the once elegant, now shabby Art Deco hotel. For Scarlett's fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite, and a permanent guest called Mrs. Amberson.
Scarlett doesn't quite know what to make of this C-list starlet, world traveler, and aspiring autobiographer who wants to take over her life. And when she meets Eric, an astonishingly gorgeous actor who has just moved to the city, her summer takes a second unexpected turn.
Before the summer is over, Scarlett will have to survive a whirlwind of thievery, Broadway glamour, romantic missteps, and theatrical deceptions. But in the city where anything can happen, she just might be able to pull it off.
I still haven't read the book yet, I know, what is wrong with me! Anyhow, I think I still prefer the hardcover because I love to see images of the characters and this provides a great one. I think the paperback cover is still nice though because it's still in the spirit of the original cover, and the key and wallpaper are just great!
Hardcover or Paperback?
Thanks to Carol of Bookluver-Carol's Review for suggesting this Hardcover vs. Paperback!
I liked the hardcover better. It seems more personal. The paperback looks cute, though. I like the city on the key.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... the key is very awesome so I'd pick that one :)
ReplyDeleteI like the hardcover better. But I think on the paperback the key is pretty cool. The city on the key looks different.
ReplyDeleteThe hardcover has more character to it. And the girl seems to have a cool old-fashioned style.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the hardcover.
ReplyDeleteI like the hardcover. The paperback's nice, but I'd be more inclined to buy the HC.
ReplyDeleteOh hmm. I didn't like the hardcover; that might've been why it took me so long to pick this one up. (Then again, I couldn't get past the first couple of chapters. Sigh.) The paperback reminds me a bit of Sarah Dessen's Lock and Key... in a good way. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm torn. I think I like the hardcover one best because I keep looking back at it, but the paperback one is also clever. If they had just had the paperback one, I still would have picked it up!
ReplyDeletei haven't read it yet either so whatever is wrong with you is wrong with me too!
ReplyDeleteI really like both of them but I am gonna have to go with the hardcover because i think the girl is really adorable and i think i would pick that cover up first
I like the paperback. I love the key and wallpaper. I'm unsure what I think of the girl on the cover of the hardcover.
ReplyDeleteI like the paperback. I love Maureen's writing but the girl looked a little old to me for some reason. Cute hair, but not Scarlett for me!
ReplyDeleteI love the hardcover! She's cute and old-fashioned with her bright red lips!
ReplyDeleteI like both of the covers.
ReplyDeleteI like the hardback best. The paperback is such a departure from it. I'm getting used to it, but everytime I see it I still think it's a shame they didn't use the same cover for the paperback.
ReplyDeleteThe paperback is cute, but I like the hardcover the best. There's something fun about seeing Scarlet on the cover-the key doesn't tell much, but you get a little bit of the spirit of the book from the character being on the cover.
ReplyDeleteHardcover all the way. It is just so cute! The other is boring!
ReplyDeleteI love the hardcover. I saw John Green make a vlog right next to a giant poster of it. It was an insanely cool poster. The paperback matches her autograph cards though ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe paperback, definitely. I love the key and how simple it is! And the hardcover model is just weird. I really want to read this book!
ReplyDeleteThe hard cover for me certainly. It's a great image. The key less so. And I've been meaning to read this since forever.
ReplyDeleteI like the paperback.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone and special thanks to Carol for suggesting it! Maureen Johnson tweeted about it the day it posted, how cool is that!
ReplyDeleteI really like the cover with the key on it. The girl in the other one is very cute, but she looks a bit too mature.
