Nice Try Jane Sinner Author:Lianne Oelke "Jane Sinner snarked her way into my heart, and she's never leaving. Prepare to fall hard for this hilarious, heartfelt gem of a book."?Becky�Albertalli, author of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda — It?s Kind of a Funny Story meets Daria in the darkly hilarious tale of a teen?s attempt to remake her public image and restore inner peace through r... more »eality TV. The only thing 17-year-old Jane Sinner hates more�than failure is pity. After a personal crisis and her�subsequent expulsion�from high school, she?s going nowhere fast.�Jane?s well-meaning parents push her to attend a high�school completion program at the�nearby Elbow River Community�College, and she agrees, on one condition: she gets to move out.
�
Jane tackles her housing problem by signing up�for�House of Orange, a student-run reality show that is�basically�Big Brother, but for�Elbow River�Students. Living away from home, the chance to win a car (used, but�whatever), and a campus full of people who don't�know what she did in�high school? what more could she want? Okay, maybe a family that�understands why she?d rather turn to Freud�than Jesus to make sense�of her life, but she'll settle for fifteen minutes in the proverbial spotlight.

She'll use her growing fan base,�and whatever Intro�to Psychology can teach her, to prove to the world?or at least viewers of substandard TV?that she�has what�it takes to win.« less
