DNF - but I may come back to it again. It just wasn't grabbing me & I am already backed up on books.

A sweet and endearing look at the power of a celebrity crush. Ms. Pearson's voice is engaging. I Think I Love You manages to stir up memories of the reader's own crushes and their enduring impact on life and perceptions of love.

Read this in English. In 1974 David Cassidy was the idol for many girls who dreamt of him and lived for him. So did these Welsh girls, Petra and Sharon, who were lucky enough to go to his consert in White City. And in 1998 Petra finds out that she actually won this Ultimate David Cassidy Quiz in a magazine and won the main prize, to meet D.C. himself, in -74. The magazine decides to make the meeting happen and after 20 years, Petra and Sharon fly to Las Vegas to meet with David. This was a great read to anyone who has worshipped a popidol in their teens and other storylines were interesting too. Liked it!

Took along time to get going, but nice little twist towards the middle and end. Holy cow, though, those little teeny boppers and poor David Cassidy. Who knew????

Very humorous book, but also with some hard-hitting truths and gorgeous sentences. When Petra was thirteen, she was in love with David Cassidy. She and her best friend, Sharon, enter "the Ultimate David Cassidy Quiz" to win a chance to meet their idol. Over twenty years later, as Petra is cleaning out her deceased parents' house, she finds an envelope in the back of her mother's closet. Inside is a letter informing her that she and Sharon have won the contest and will get to meet David Cassidy! On a whim, Petra tracks down the old magazine's publisher and shares her story. They decide to honor her prize, and she and Sharon get an expenses-paid trip to Vegas to finally meet David Cassidy.

Pearson nails exactly how teen girls are about their idols, and it's with the perfect mix of humor and realism that keeps you from feeling ridiculous for whomever you loved as a teen. I especially loved the interview with Cassidy she included in the end, which allows the reader to see exactly how much of this book was fiction, and how much was Pearson herself.

Being someone who never got David Cassidy & was underwhelmed but I Don't Know How She Does It , I wasn't sure that I would enjoy this book at all. Only after several suggestions by friends did I read it & I'm glad I did. It was enjoyable and moving. I felt completely transported to how it felt to be 13 years old --- so much so that bits of the story stressed me out long after reading them. The story about the 2nd main character, Bill, was interesting as well, but he seemed to fade as the story progressed. What I wanted after finishing the book was more.

This was a terrible book. I could not finish.

Having a hard time getting into this and people keep sidetracking me with other books! Still struggling through it, though!


Ugh. The first 3/4 of the book were painfully boring. I really only enjoyed the end.

This was as close to perfect a novel as I've read. Pearson's writing is beautiful, just descriptive enough, and her characters jump off the page. Her description of fan obsession is flawless. Not that I'd know anything about that.

Also, I listened to this on audio, and the reader was outstanding. She did a Welsh accent beautifully, and managed to age the characters as they grew. It was a pleasure from beginning to end.
