Really cute. Just what I expected from Harrison. Loved Connor and Jane. Perfect light, fluffy, teen romance.

This was a fun and light read.
The main protagonist Farrah goes to an Ivy league college if I remember it properly and has a crush on a guy over there. The vacation's are starting and she is preparing herself for her most favorite person in the world - her brother's over-the-top filthy rich marriage. As getting married in a church is too mainstream, they'll have to arrange it in a 5 star hotel, where as she finds out, her crush Connor works. Mortified about the way Connor thinks about the hotel stayers, Farrah lies saying she's working there as well.
While Connor was portrayed as the nice guy, why does he think all rich people are dumbos and spoilt brats? And Farrah couldn't stop thinking about her looks and is still adamant to keep a tomboy. You don't get to choose that girl. You are either a tomboy or you're not, and from the looks of it, you're just pretending to be one. Not cool.
I liked the setting as I could actually kind of feel the Winter. I liked the girl (Forgot her name) who's the bride's younger sister. Being Farrah's age, she definitely knows how to carry herself unlike Farrah.

Probably 2.5 stars
I chose not to round up because I don’t like books where the main character lies all the time. I guess “Jane” didn’t outright lie - she went along with someone else’s lie - but I still didn’t like it.
Speaking of didn’t like it, I wasn’t a fan of Connor at all. He seemed really judgmental and honestly quite rude. She called him “Hot Connor” so i guess she was more interested in his looks than his personality?
What I DID really enjoy were the interactions between Farrah and her brother. They were really cute and I loved the bachelor party she came up with for him.

I loved this book! The story is just so funny and original I couldnt put it down. I recommend this book to all who love romantic comedies. Jane is a real girl that many can identify with. I really like that Jane was an older girl in college and not the typical 16 year old experiencing her first love, cause thats how it was for me. This was book was light hearted and wonderful to read. I cant wait to read another novel by Emma Harrison.

Sometimes I just need a silly little YA romance. This one’s not the best I’ve read, but it’s cute. While serving as “best girl” in her brother’s wedding at a Colorado resort Farrah runs into her crush. When he mistakes her for hired help and proceeds to bash the wedding party, she goes to great lengths to keep him from learning who she truly is. The usual misunderstandings ensue, culminating in an ending that will make you say, “Awww.”
