Críticas

"A delightful, giddy novel. . . . [Pearson] finds those universal chords, the stuff of great novels." --"Los Angeles Times "" ""What "I Don't Know How She Does It" did for working mothers, "I Think I Love You" does for every woman who's gone through life with an idealized notion of love. . . . An entertaining, thoughtful story that women of any age can relate to." --"The Oregonian " "It was impossible not to be captivated by this romantic comedy." --"Chicago Tribune "" ""Pearson writes with such humor and affection for her characters. . . . Combines effervescence with earnestness, a finely tuned sense of absurdity with nostalgia, satiric wit with genuine warmth." --"The New York Times "" ""Anyone who ever swooned over the pages of "Teen Beat" will delight in the premise of "I Think I Love You." . . . Offers comedic relief of the highest order." --"The Minneapolis Star-Tribune "" ""[A] funny, tender novel about first love--and whether we ever really grow out of it." --"O, The Oprah Magazine " "Pearson renders teenagedom with authenticity and poignancy. . . .

Reseña del editor

Deliciously clever and touching, with a compelling twist, I THINK I LOVE YOU asks what happens when the man you thought you loved turns out to be somebody else...In her bestselling debut, I Don't Know How She Does It, Allison Pearson spoke to mothers everywhere. Now, in I Think I Love You, she is back with her pitch-perfect ability to observe our lives, loves and relationships. We enter the world of two unforgettable friends: Petra and Sharon, in 1970s South Wales, who live for David Cassidy. His fan magazine is the girls' Bible and they memorize every word that he sings and writes, in the hope of becoming the future Mrs Cassidy. But unbeknownst to Petra, and to millions of other hopefuls, David's letters may not be all his own work. The secret lies with Bill Finn, English graduate turned reluctant pop journalist, whose job it is to compile the Ultimate David Cassidy Quiz. Top prize: the trip of a lifetime, to meet your one and only love. Over two decades later, bruised by grief , Petra is living with her thirteen-year-old daughter, who has her own teen crush. By sheer chance - unless you believe in destiny -Petra discovers that the questions which obsessed her back in 1974 are suddenly very much alive. And Bill, successful in business but never in love, has some confessions of his own...I Think I Love You is a classic story of friendship across the decades. A romantic comedy with a broken heart, it is Allison Pearson at her humane and captivating best.
