My most recent read is All We Have is Now by Lisa Schroeder. With the end of the world quickly approaching, how would you spend your last hours? What if you were a homeless teen, what choices would you make?
Lisa explores the value of now and the gift of kindness. A diverse group of characters is met and wishes are fulfilled as humanity explores compassion when all is to be lost in moments.
Thought provoking and hopeful, be kind to yourself and read All We Have is Now, rgz. A great follow-up movie would be Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Oh cool. Well, seems that Scarlett may look like she leads a glamorous life in a hotel but she really doesn't! Maureen also wrong Devilish and the Bermudez Triangle. She also created BEDA. That's bonus knowledge.
Scarlett wears her big sister's little black dress to pretty much every important event in the book.
The other two books that I've read by Maureen Johnson are Devilish and 13 Little Blue Envelopes.
I'm interested in seeing how the Algonquin hotel factors into the novel. It also appears that Scarlett doesn't lead quite a life of luxury in her family's hotel. I'm sure shenanigans will ensue.
Maureen Johnson also wrote Girl at Sea and Devilish.
Scarlett's hair is made of lovely ringlet curls in winter, but puffed up worm creatures in summer.
Maureen also wrote Girl at Sea and The Key to the Golden Firebird.
Scarlett lives in a luxury hotel but it doesn't sound like her life is full of luxuries .
Maureen also wrote 13 Little Blue Envelopes & The Key to the Golden firebird.
we have several of ms. johnson's books in our library, including 13 little blue envelopes, and devilish.
fun fun! well, it sounds like scarlett, despite having a glamorous-sounding life and living in a big city, will be having the same sorts of problems and questions as most teenage girls-- it sounds like she isn't really in control of her life, and she'll be looking to get a better handle on herself.
Ironically, Scarlett's luxury hotel doesn't echo her non-posh life. I've also read 13 Little Blue Envelopes and The Bermudez Triangle.

She has crazy siblings. :)
enter me please!!
I think she has a wonderful family. From her parents who cant cook, her brother and his acting/comedy career with his stunts to her older sister, Lola, with tremendous style and a hot rich boyfriend to her younger sister and all the events she goes to on account of her cancer, who can sometimes be a little unbearable. Although her life isn’t fabulous it must be fun. That book was one of the best books I’ve read. Maureen Johnson has also written: girl at sea, the key to the golden firebird, devilish, the bermudez triangle and 13 little blue envelops.
