AGERANGE: Ages 12 up.

Farrah Jane Morris went to college in Colorado to escape her crazy mother and make a life on her own. But at the end of her first semester, her mountainous sanctuary is being invaded. Her brother is getting married and everyone will be there--literally. He is marrying a socialite, the daughter of a famous clothing designer, and his sister is to be his "best girl." But what Farrah (who goes by Jane at school) does not realize is that the boy she has had a crush on for the entire semester, Hot Connor, works at the lodge where the wedding will take place. And he hates all the snooty guests! Jane's new friend Biff comes up with a cover story and she and Jane keep up the lie as long as they can. But Connor, who will be working for the wedding, will have to find out sooner or later that Jane the Nanny is actually Farrah the Guest. In this cute, simple romance story the characters are all genuinely likeable, if sometimes a bit too good to be true Reviewer: Kathleen Foucart
