Lost and Found by Gina L. Maxwell
5.0
** 4.5 Stars **
What a unique retelling of Peter Pan! I loved every minute of this book.
Elements of the classic fairy tale (and a little Romeo & Juliet/wrong side of the tracks) are seamlessly woven into this modern day romance.
Peter Pan is fostering at the Lost Boys school run by the shady Croc and his wife who use the kids as their personal indentured servants. Peter returns to the house with the open balcony night after night to hear the story of princesses and princes, when one night he sees the girl that will change his life - Wendy.
Their story is told in the present day as adults and in flashbacks of when they were kids getting to know each other and experiencing young love.
Pan is all grown up, but doesn't want to live to work. He believes in working to live and throwing weekly over the top parties because what's life without a heavy dose of fun?! Wendy has returned after leaving for college and staying away for almost a decade.
I enjoyed Peter and Wendy getting to know each other as adults and the dynamic between the Lost Boys and Tink.
One character intrigued me the most - Hook! He definitely gives off the dark and broody vibe and his secrets and inner demons will be explored more in the next Neverland novel. I really can't wait to read more from this series. Bravo Gina Maxwell!
