Emma Harrison - The Best Girl Summary:
Publisher: HarperTeen | ISBN: 0061228249 | 287 pages | 2007 | PDF | 1,6 MB

Eighteen-year-old Farrah "Jane" Morris never saw eye to eye with her mother. In fact, the only solace she had at home was her older brother, and her love of sports - something her mother could never understand. After all, her mother always wanted a girly girl for a daughter - someone she could dress up, and experiment on with various make-up and hairstyles - two things Farrah would never allow. But when Farrah heads off to college, she decides to reinvent herself as Jane, a fun girl with opinions on just about everything who can make friends in a snap. But the one guy she wants to be buddy-buddy with - in a romantic way, that is - seems aloof. Connor is the epitome of a hottie whom she wants to snuggle up with. But when the holidays roll around, and Jane leaves campus to be the "best man" in her brother's wedding, she knows that snuggling with Connor is the last thing she'll be doing. Until she realizes that he works at the same exact lodge where the wedding is taking place. Jane has watched Connor from afar in class since day one. His soulful eyes, crooked smile, and braininess make her completely weak in the knees. Unfortunately, ever since a bad experience during her junior year of high school, when Jane was told that she was nothing more than the "best friend type," Jane has had an extreme fear of rejection, and is convinced that no guy - especially one as gorgeous as Connor - will ever view her as being any more than a pal. Until her new friend Biff tells her otherwise. Biff is the younger sister of Marni Shay, the fashionista/debutante who happens to be marrying Jane's older brother. Biff is edgy and cool, and loves to break the rules. She also turns out to be Jane's rock, assisting her in every department of her life - namely the love department. When Connor begins to make goo-goo eyes at Jane, she's convinced that she's imagining things. After all, there are plenty of cute snow bunnies all over the lodge who seem more like Connor's type. But Connor has eyes only for Jane. Unfortunately, with Biff's assistance, Jane has ended up in the lie of a lifetime. One that could destroy her chances with Connor, unless she comes clean and announces to him that she's the "best man"; or, rather, in this case, the best girl. I don't think that anyone could dislike Farrah "Jane" Morris, even if they tried. From page one Jane jumps out of the book, and becomes a pal whom you can't resist learning more about. Her low-maintenance ways, and sporty persona make her a prime example of the fact that you don't need to get all dolled up to snag a hottie. But it's her sarcastic humor, and friendship with Biff that make her even more irresistible. Connor, on the other hand, is a guy every girl will long to call her own. His amazing looks, and even greater personality make him appealing; though his nastiness and judgement about people with money makes you dislike him at times, but his treatment of Jane and his romantic side certainly work overtime to redeem him. THE BEST GIRL will warm you up, even on the chilliest day!
