I think I Love You by Allison
Pearson – first published 2010
With only one book to go to
the end of my reading journey I realised I still had 2 countries to visit. This was the only book I could find in a
hurry, which was set in both Wales and England.
The
first part of the book is set in a South Wales town somewhere near Swansea in
1974. Petra and her friends are all mad
about David Cassidy and avid readers of the Essential David Cassidy
Magazine. Unknown to them a man named
Bill, who works in an office in London, is paid to write articles for the
magazine, as if he were David Cassidy.
Petra and her friend Sharon enter the Ultimate David Cassidy Quiz run by
the magazine. 24 years later, after
the death of her mother, Petra finds a letter that her mother had hidden from
her saying that they had won the competition.
Petra rings the publishers of the magazine and although it is no longer
published Bill still works for them and they agree to pay for Petra and Sharon
to fly to Las Vegas with Bill to meet David Cassidy. An agreeable feel-good story.
