I've never really been a mega-fan of Peter Pan. However, after reading Tiger Lily (and dubbing it my number one book of 2012), Peter Pan became a thing I wanted more of. So when I heard about today's pick, I was interested. And when I heard there was a love triangle between Wendy, Peter Pan, and Hook, I was all "OH MY GOSH WHAT IS AIR?!" So when there are ARCs of this, may they follow the second star to the right and go straight on to my house, because I NEED ONE.

A twisty story about love, loss, and lies, this contemporary oceanside adventure is tinged with a touch of dark magic as it follows seventeen-year-old Wendy Darling on a search for her missing surfer brothers. Wendy’s journey leads her to a mysterious hidden cove inhabited by a tribe of young renegade surfers, most of them runaways like her brothers. Wendy is instantly drawn to the cove’s charismatic leader, Pete, but her search also points her toward Pete's nemesis, the drug-dealing Jas. Enigmatic, dangerous, and handsome, Jas pulls Wendy in even as she's falling hard for Pete. A radical reinvention of a classic, Second Star is an irresistible summer romance about two young men who have yet to grow up--and the troubled beauty trapped between them.

You know, it's weird, but for some reason I had a really strange feeling we'd be WoW twins today. Why did I think this?! I have literally no idea. BUT I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK. And Wendy and Peter and Hook omggggg.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, my name is Elisa Keily I am so overwhelmed with joy all thanks to Dr Raypower spell. My husband left me for another woman a few years back and I was very devastated cause I never did anything wrong to him, I was left with my two kids and a job that pays little. I was almost giving up until I saw a testimony online about Dr Raypower and I decided to contact him.I explained my problem to him and he assured me I'll see a positive result after 24hurs, surprisingly my husband came back the day after the spell begging me to forgive him and promised to never leave. My husband has been back for 6 months now and we've never had any issues, am glad I didn't doubt Dr Raypower cause he sure can solve any problems with fast relief you can also contact him for help now

I'm so excited for this one! I love retellings of Peter Pan. I almost picked this as my WoW this week, but ended up with a different one haha. Can't wait for this! Awesome pick, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW at Bookmunchies (:
Wow, i've only ever done Peter Pan in movie form, you know the animated one you watched as a kid, so it'd be cool to see a re-telling. I like how they've changed the characters up as well. Very nice :)
