Dear Dylan — Siobhan Curham

A first crush. An unexpected friendship. A dream come true.

The perfect book for teens and fans of Cathy Cassidy, Sarah Dessen or Karen McCombie

Dear Dylan,

Thanks SO much for your email and I'm sorry about my last one when I said I love you. I hope you don't think I'm a weirdo mentalist?!!!

It's just that I was watching Oprah yesterday and she said we should all say we love each other a whole lot more. Not to everyone of course. There's no way I'd tell my scummy step-dad that I love him because that would be lying. But the thing is, sometimes when I watch you on TV, I feel as if you're talking just to me and it makes me feel less alone.

I know you probably get loads and loads of fan mail but I wanted to ask you â€" could we be e-mates?

Yours hopefully, Georgie xxx
