Synopsis via Goodreads
15 year old Tiger Lily, proud and fierce, wild and misunderstood, doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland, and immediately falls under his spell. Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, big-hearted but hard to reach, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything - her family, her future - to be with the haunted, hunted, courageous boy who loves her. When - as a punishment for her rebellious ways - she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter. With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart.
From the New York Times bestselling author of PEACHES comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.

Okay first off, I love how different the premise is for this compared to a lot of the stuff coming out this year. Okay well true...it is a retelling...and there have been a lot of those lately. But I see serious potential with this one and really hope that it ends up being as good as I think it will be. And that cover? Gorgeous! What do you think? Will you be giving this one a shot?

LOVE this! The description sounds so awesome. It's always fun when authors put a twist on a familiar story. (And psst, Kristan's favorite character in Peter Pan was always Tiger Lily anyway. She even named her childhood cat after her!)
