Summary:
A star-studded collection of essays from acclaimed and bestselling authors and celebrities that illuminates the
lasting
power
of desire and
longing
, and celebrates our initiation into the euphoria, pain, and mystery that is our
first
celebrity
crush
. A few channeled
their
devotion into obsessively writing embarrassing fan letters. Some taped pics in school lockers. Others decorated
their
bedroom walls with posters. Here are funny, whimsical, sometimes cringe-worthy tales of falling head over heels for River Phoenix, Mary Tyler Moore, Howard Cosell, Jared Leto, and a host of other pop culture icons.
Genre:
