Crush: Writers Reflect on Love, Longing and the Power of Their FirstCelebrity Crush

Memoirists Cathy Alter and Dave Singleton edit a star-studded collection of essays on love, longing and the lasting power of that first celebrity crush. You never forget your first crush... Even if you're James Franco. Or Carrie Fisher. Or Stephen King. Memoirists Cathy Alter and Dave Singleton edit this delightful anthology full of heartbreak, humiliation and hilarity. Contributors include Stephen King, Carrie Fisher, James Franco, Roxane Gay, Jodi Picoult, Emily Gould and Hanna Rosin, among many others. Their crushes run the gamut from Donny Osmond to River Phoenix. Obsessive fan-letter writing, pictures taped into lockers, posters above beds-it's all there. Some of these essays will make you laugh, some might make you cry, but they are all swoon-worthy and unforgettable. Just like your first celebrity crush.
