I Think I Love You by Allison Pearson
3.0
This takes place in Wales in 1978. Petra and Sharon are best friends and they love David Cassidy. When he announces his final concert tour, the two make plans to make their way to London to attend the show. Petra is quiet and just wants to fit in with the popular girls. Sharon is fun-loving and charismatic. The two must learn how to navigate the treacherous waters of teen hood while staying true to their friendship.
The story also gives a glimpse into their adult lives when it leaps forward to 1998. In the "present," the women have strayed from one another, but upon her mother's death, Petra finds something among her mother's papers that will bring the two of them back together.
This felt slow in parts, but it is an enjoyable read about pop culture; iconic figures and girls that love them; and being a girl and a teen (not the same for boys).
