Allison Pearson has produced a delightful read! It took me right back to the days I (with several equally devoted teen friends) worshipped teen idols. Petra & her friends swooned over David Cassidy to the degree of insanity. Their journey was detailed in a light, humorous way, with the reader easily empathetic to their emotional & life perils as they grew up through the '70's. So...was the David Cassidy of their dreams the True & Only David? Petra & Sharon do get to answer that for themselves as they re-experience what they thought time left behind in their teenage years. I really identified with Petra--she could be sullen and dark at times, but desiring real happiness in her life. She doesn't even know she is looking for it. A lot of fun remembering teenage silliness, which is all too real in shaping our lives later on!
