Allison Pearson I Think I Love You

I Think I Love You captures the thoughts and feelings of insecure thirteen-year-old Petra, who, like millions of other teenyboppers in the 1970s. She has a massive crush on pop star David Cassidy. Alison makes Petra’s struggles and angst of trying to fit in with the right crowd and bowing to the whims of the top girl very realistic. Petra’s escape was dreaming of what her life would be if only David Cassidy would show up and claim her for his own.

Changing with Petra’s story is that of Bill, a recent college grad and aspiring author who has the job of ghost-writing letters from David Cassidy to his fans. Bill hates his job, can’t stand David Cassidy and lives in fear that his girlfriend, Ruth, will discover that he isn’t the serious rock journalist that he pretends to be. Of course Petra’s source for all things David Cassidy happens to be the very magazine that Bill writes for.
