The Justin Bieber of his day… |

I have a twelve year old niece (aka Mrs. Bieber)and I can't imagine what she would do if she discovered that she had won a contest to meet her idol but her mother hid the letter so she never got to go. That is the terrible, terrible thing that Petra Williams' mother does in I Think I Love You.

In 1974 in a small town in Wales, Petra is deeply in love with David Cassidy and feeling put upon by her mother who is definitely from the "tiger" school of paren'ting. Petra devours every word in The Essential David Cassidy magazine when not practicing her cello and learning to negotiate the dangerous waters of thirteen-year old friendship.

Also in 1974, but in London, Bill has his first job in "music journalism." Bill is a writer for The Essential David Cassidy magazine, a job so shaming that he can't tell his girlfriend what he does.

In 1998, an older, not so very much wiser and soon to be divorced Petra discovers the letter her mother hid from her and decides to call and claim her prize more than twenty years late…

I Think I Love You is a funny and nostalgic coming of age novel for everyone who ever had a poster from Tiger Beat on her wall.

also available as an audiobook on cd, eAudiobook, eBook, Large Print and Talking Book: CD format.
