OH LOOK, ANOTHER PETER PAN RETELLING. I MUST HAVE IT. GIVE IT TO ME NOW. (But I feel like it will never ever fall into my hands because that release date is forever away. I bet people in Neverland never have to wait for books to release; they just get them.)

Wylie Dalton didn’t believe in fairy tales or love at first sight.
Then she met a real-life Peter Pan.
When Wylie encounters Phinn—confident, mature, and devastatingly handsome—at a party the night before her brother goes to juvie, she can’t believe how fast she falls for him. And that’s before he shows her how to fly.
Soon Wylie and her brothers find themselves whisked away to a mysterious tropical island off the coast of New York City where nobody ages beyond seventeen and life is a constant party. Wylie’s in heaven: now her brother won’t go to jail and she can escape her over-scheduled life with all its woes and responsibilities—permanently.
But the deeper Wylie falls for Phinn, the more she begins to discover has been kept from her and her brothers. Somebody on the island has been lying to her, but the truth can’t stay hidden forever.
Which story's retellings do you like the most? (You'd think mine would be Beauty and the Beast. But that blasted Pan seems to constantly take the cake.)

ReplyDeleteI wish I enjoyed Peter Pan books more because there seem to be a whole lot of them coming out. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteawww, thanks for the post on my book! Your blog is great. And I too feel like it's going to take forever for it to be published, but June will be here before we know it. I hope you enjoy it once it comes out!
