Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke

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.
