Jane Sinner sets out to redefine herself through a series of schemes and stunts, including participating in a low-budget reality TV show at her local community college. - Baker & Taylor
A jaded teen embarks on a darkly whimsical effort to remake her public image and restore inner peace in the wake of a personal crisis, an expulsion and an agreement with her family that she will finish high school if they allow her to move to the set of a teen-run reality show. A first novel. 25,000 first printing. Simultaneous eBook. - HARPERCOLL
"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."âBecky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda
Itâs Kind of a Funny Story meets Daria in the darkly hilarious tale of a teenâs attempt to remake her public image and restore inner peace through reality 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, sheâs going nowhere fast. Janeâs 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.
Â
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 sheâd rather turn to Freud than Jesus to make sense of her life, but she'll settle for fifteen minutes in the proverbial spotlight.
Â
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 worldâor at least viewers of substandard TVâthat she has what it takes to win. - Houghton"Jane Sinner snarked her way into my heart, and she's never leaving.
