Unique look at a teen idol crush, teenage girl relationships and with parents and the influence into adulthood, marriage, and parenting as well as revisiting the teen idol crush and childhood friend.
This book is a-dor-able. Written in two parts, you'll meet the young Petra (and if you were a David Cassidy fan back in the day, you WERE Petra) and the adult Petra and her hysterical friend Sharon, Welsh girls who devoted their lives to the "I Think I Love You" craze.
You'll laugh when you see yourself in the pages and cringe at the tweener angst that you remember so well. And you'll really like the women these women become.
Even if you weren't "of the era," you'll be able to appreciate it, whether your crush was on little brother Sean or the Backstreet Boys.
It's a quick, easy read and one that I think you'll enjoy. I did.

I really wanted to love this book. Being a child of the 80's and having my own obsession (along with MY best friend) with a certain 80's boy band I really thought this was going to be a great story that I could really relate to. I couldn't have been more wrong. The main character of Petra was miserable and everything about her story was depressing. I had a lot of hope with the first part of the book, although some of the parts were drawn out WAY too long, that this was a story I could get into, but once we got into the second half of the story it was a struggle just to get through a few pages at a time. Very disappointing.
