Great book, nice quick read. A story of a girl who went away to college trying to find herself. At school she starts to crush on this boy. She later finds out he works at the resort her brother's big wedding is at. A little lie gets out of hand and so starts the fun.

A good little, uplifting story of boy and girl and love. Add in a little Jersey, a little Colorado, a little snow, a great brother, a little lie, and you get a good love story.

My rating may be biased, because I read this book a long time ago. But I remember I LOVED this book. I still remember some things about the book, and what I remember, I totally love.

Farrah aka Jane, wants to start over in college and she finally has that chance. But it all comes tumbling down when Hot Connor is working at the same place where her brother is marrying one of the richest girls in the world.

I love the Young Adult romantic comedy mass market paper back books. They are some of the best books I have read, while they aren’t the most well written, the story lines are fun and they are super cute. This one was no different and I really did enjoy it.

Farrah/Jane is tomboy whose mom has been trying to push her to become the girly-girl she’s always wanted. But thats not what she wants, we get to see more of the mother-daughter dynamic through the book.

I also love the relationship between Jane and her brother, the two of them are close and stick by each other through everything.

If you’re looking for a fun novel about family, friendship, being true to yourself and all set in a cozy ski lodge, check this out!

This book was cute and an easy read. It fell victim to a lot of annoying tropes. The plain Jane being one, which is even better because she chooses to go by the name Jane. She always complains about how ugly she is, but obviously she's actually super incredibly beautiful and everyone knows it but her. Instalove, sort of. Spoiler alert, at the end of the book they're declaring their love for each other, and I thought, "Okay, calm down, you've been going out for a week."

I also wasn't a huge fan of Connor, to be honest. He was judgemental and a little rude and yeah, a little mean, too. I wasn't entirely sure what Jane saw in him.

Still, the book was cute. Though I was more into the storylines with Jane and her brother Jonah as well as her relationship with her mom. The romance was sort of secondary to me, which is strange. Overall, definitely not the best of these cute romance books, but not the worst either.

Honestly, at the beginning of the book it was kind of vom, but it picked up about a quarter of the way through. It was pretty cute when it all got wrapped up in the end.

I mean some moments were really cute but then some moments were really bad and made me feel very frustrated so I guess a 3 balances it out.

Cute. I was upset with the lying, but found myself smiling throughout the whole book. I loved the relationship between Farrah and her brother and really grew to like her sister-in-law. And I couldn't help bu giggle and swoon because of Connor. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun, like, YA read.
