The Cutest Love Story Ever

Am I Am, is a very compelling story that would make you want to read the whole book nonstop. This book would get you hooked from beginning to end. It deals with real life experience that goes on in todays world. It makes you see things in whole different perspective. You shouldn't change the way a person look, feel, or act. It would only make things complicated, it'll make you lose your love ones. You can give them advices instead of trying to rule their lives. Alyssa Naylor who is a teen model in highschool, loves giving her friends makeovers and dressing them up. She met a cute boy name Dante Michaels. They become closer while having to work on a project together for their English class. She soon changes the way he looks by giving him a haircut and gradually buying him expensive clothes and taking him out to fancy dinners. He soon relizes that he has changed and confronts her. He soon relizes that she changed him for the better. I recommend this book to teens who have problems accepting the way their boyfriends look, acts, and feel.

This story is so cute!

I really like this story because there were alot of parts were I just wanted to say awe that was so cute. I think the characters relationship was a good relationship. They really help each other grow in different areas of life. Dante' help Lyssa grow in her career choices. Dante' helps her decide for herself what she wanted to do with her life. And Lyssa help Dante' grow socially.By introducing him to school dances and showing him how to have more fun with his life. In all relationship you should learn and grow from them. Which I think is a good thing. I think you should really check it out!

Another Great teen Romance

This teen romance was definitly one of the better books in theseries. I love all the books in this series but this one wasdifferent. It showed teens in a different light. I think teens will appreciate the fact that the characters weren't "Typical" teens. Anyway, It was a very well though novel that was worth reading.

Really Cool Book!

I bought this book because I saw that it was about black teens on the cover. I really liked it because it doesn't make out like all black teens only care about rap, hip-hop, and basketball. The characters in it are smart, serious, and sometimes funny. You really need to read this book. It's cool!

This is a wonderful book.

The author really put this subject in a way that young readers can understand. Dante, a poor and non able to dress young man, met Lyssa, a well dressed young female model, and fell in love despite their backgrounds and where they might be going in life. Then their love was torn apart by jealousy. Despite all of that they still ended up in love and together.
