Summary: Northern was supposed to be a fresh start—a place where people didn’t know who I was or how I had spent years in and out of mental institutes. People didn't know about my parents death or the island no one heard of. But when Peter sits next to me in lit class, I can’t stop the memories, and I don’t want to. He looks too much like the boy from the island, and despite my best intentions, coaxes my secrets from me.
He’s gorgeous, irresistible, a little mad, and completely lost—we are a pair of broken cogs in a world neither of us truly fits into. He is somehow gentle and fierce, heartbreaking in his devotion and savage in his defense.
When Belle, his best friend, shows up, pale and lovely and sick, Peter pulls away from me, a startling withdrawal. It’s a relationship that scares and confuses me. She is at times warm and friendly, and other times is violent and unpredictable.
Peter says that he wants me, but refuses to let himself get close. And there are secrets, surrounding both of us, that border on nightmares. As the memories close in, as Belle gets sicker and more violent, I’m torn between what is true and what I believe, and what this magical boy knows about my mysterious past.
My Review:
"Insanity is a very Lonely place to be. Even with the company of my delusions."This story was a crazy rendition of Peter Pan but a good one. I would have never thought of this but I'm glad Nazarea could. Peter is just gorgeous and endearing. Gwen has you captivated with her thoughts from the very beginning. The way the story is written is awesome. It's a mesh of the present and of flashbacks but there is no confusion. Just give this books a try. You'll find exactly what you're looking for.
"I have been fascinated with one thing for what seems like years."
