From the author of the best seller I Don’t Know How She Does It, a follow-up that promises to be one of the most widely read and talked-about novels of the season.
1974, Wales. Thirteen-year-old Petra and her best friend, Sharon, are in love with David Cassidy and obsessed with The Ultimate David Cassidy Quiz, a contest whose winners will be flown to America to meet their teen idol. 1998, London. Petra is pushing forty and on the brink of divorce. While cleaning out her mother’s closet, she finds a dusty letter—a letter her mother had intercepted—declaring her the winner of the contest she and Sharon had labored over with such agony and bliss. Twenty-four years later, twenty pounds heavier, the girls reunite for an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas to meet their teen idol at last, middle age—theirs and his—be damned.
Poignant, hilarious, joyful, profoundly moving and uplifting, I Think I Love You captures what girls learn about love through the universal experience of worshipping a teen dream. It will resonate with readers everywhere.

Oh man, I had a mad crush for Mariah Carey. That was back in the days where she wasn't fat and she didn't screech on records.
I was also hot for a TV host named Juliette Powell:

Turned out being a TV host was a student job for her! I added her as a friend on Facebook just for shits & giggles one day and she sent me a private message to thank me. I know she's now a social networking queen, but still, it was pretty cool.
Tom K. was my teenage crush. After more than 30 years, we recently reconnected on facebook.
