The novel, Pearson's 2nd following her successful debut I am not sure How She Does It, is about one girl's obsession with David Cassidy. Miramax Film Company filed its suit for break of contract against Pearson on Fri. in Manhattan Fed Court, according to Reuters, pronouncing that though Pearson accepted $700000 in Aug 2003 under a two-year contract, she has still not delivered the novel.

Miramax expounded that Pearson has ignored its requests for info about the book's whereabouts since 2006. I believe I like You, which Pearson's agent claimed she assumed Pearson would still deliver "but I am not sure what cut-off point she has set herself", is described by its UK publisher Chatto as being "about love in several forms, but 1st love especially, how it shapes us and imprints us". Pearson reached an agreement for the book with Chatto in 2003. A spokesman for the publisher asserted he had "absolutely no info whatsoever" on when it'd be made public ; Amazon lists publication dates between July 2006 and Feb 2009. In July, US publisher Simon Schuster sued rappers Lil' Kim and Sexy Brown over the return of advances for books they were signed up to draft but never delivered. Literary and film agent Conrad Williams from Blake Friedmann, whose clients include Star of the Sea writer Joseph O'Connor, explained that books were frequently sold to publishers and film firms on a partial manuscript. "The excitability of the market does make for some massive deals on half finished material" he claimed. If a writer suffers a block after banking the check, it is not irrational for publishers or film corporations to need their cash back in due course." He added that most publishers cut writers "a lot of slack" on late delivery. His films celebrate the the comic chances of simply being human.
