5.0 out of 5 stars An adult fairy tale romance that works 1 Feb 2001
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Close to graduating high school, overweight and pickable Alice Watson wants two things in life: Marcus Quinn and a career as an actress. No one except her father and Marcus believes that Alice should go to Los Angeles. Even her mother disses Alice's dreams as a LaLaland fantasy because no one will hire an obese African-American in filmdom. When Marcus asks Alice for advice about another girl, she concludes that her best friend will never see her as his lover. That sends Alice to LA upon graduation.

Thirteen years later, Alice returns home to nurse her mother, recovering from a heart attack. However, the Alice who goes home is not the same person who left town, as she is beautiful, glamorous, and confident. She tries to mend the break with her mom and seeks out the now divorced Marcus, who she still loves. However, will he see her as his old bud, a quick bed, or finally, the loving other half that will make life complete for both of them?

This ethnic romantic remake of the "Ugly Duckling" theme will captivate the audience with its charming plot and delightful cast. The lead couple is a swan and a hunk whose relationship makes the novel a joy to read. However, the depth to the tale belongs to Alice's efforts to patch up her relationships especially with her mother and sister. Readers will want more novels like IF YOU WANT ME from Kayla Perrin, who eloquently states that a person can go home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way to go! 15 Feb 2001

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I always like these types of books. Call me a romantic, call me a sap, I don't care. I read a review of this book, and had to get it for myself. I didn't regret getting it, and loved Alice. She was loving, kind and had a heart of gold. Even when her own family and friends were not as loving. Yet, despite it all, she gets the man who she truly loves. Though the way of getting it is no easy feat. In the midst of this, she deals with family issues, secrets, unrequited love, and some danger. Folks who love the ugly duckling turned swan themes will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!! 23 Nov 2004
By Nia Mia - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Since I was 8, I was reading all kinds of books for kids my age. I continued to do that until I was 15. By that time I was getting sick of the teenage drama and...well the censors. I live in New York so I've experienced a lot more, you know. I asked my mom if it was okay if I could start reading the books she reads. She said it was fine. At that time in my life I was little overweight so I was attracted to this book right away. I loved it. The mystery of the threats given to Alice, the steamy attraction between Alice and Marcus, and the emotional drama with Alice's past in her family. It was great and I want to thank Kayla Perrin for her wonderful story. I am now 18 and I have probably read it like 20 times.
