I Will Marry Gary Barlow
About the book
At 15, Alice's period has not yet arrived. She feels like she will never be a woman. Her friends stuff her bra with cotton balls, her mother forces her to wear improbable outfits to look more womanly and her father uses her to promote his anti-smoking campaign outside school, which makes her the nerdiest girl in town.
Alice isn't ready to love someone real, so falls in love with a man on a poster, a man she can't disappoint: Gary Barlow, the 'fat one' of Take That – because not even in her dreams could she be cool enough for Robbie.
She will go to extreme lengths to meet him. On this journey, she will make new friends – fans and groupies of the 90s, the 'little people' whose jobs became relevant only during the Boy Band Era and other picturesque characters – until she manages to make her dreams come true – or does she?
