ARCstravaganza Monday: Nice Try, Jane Sinner

We all know Monday's. They come straight up to you and smack you, every week! Monday's are always hard for us all but you know what makes it a bit better? Books of course! ARCs (advance reader copies) are wonderful gems bloggers/booksellers receive and that's what ARCstravaganza Monday is all about! See below for this weeks ARC I'm super excited about!

___________

Nice Try, Jane Sinner is hilarious! This book follows Jane Sinner as she navigates community college while living in a co-ed house called House of Orange... the kicker? It's a TV show similar to that of Big Brother and in order to keep living away from home, and her sordid past, Jane has to win! This was such a wonderful gem. The book is written in a journal style which was a great change of pace. I really enjoyed it and I'm so thankful that Raincoast Books sent the ARC my way.

SYNOPSIS

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. As House of Orange grows from a low-budget web series to a local TV show with fans and shoddy T-shirts, Jane finally has the chance to let her cynical, competitive nature thrive. 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.
