Losing Gwen was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to survive. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love her.
But finding her was never about that. And now that I have found her–now that she knows the truth about me and the Island, I have to trust her to believe. Because her leaving me didn’t just destroy me–its killing Neverland.
I need her to love me. But we all need her to believe again.
Peter Pan has grown up and found the girl who left–but the stakes are higher than ever in this romantic conclusion to the story begun in Girl Lost.

EXCERPT:
“You ran
away.”
She
gives an unladylike snort. “You decided you were a delusion of my past, and
then you expected me to sit there and listen to your insane ramblings. Thanks,
but no. I can’t do that. I’ve had enough crazy for one life.” She bites her lip,
and then blurts, “You stole my file, didn’t you? That’s how you know about the
Boy.”
“Do you
remember the firefly meadow?”
She goes
still, and I smile, gently. “You do.”
“That
wasn’t real,” she whispers, and I feel the shudder.
“We’d
hide there, from the lost boys. And you’d fall asleep telling me your happy
thoughts, and wake up to a galaxy of fireflies, and we’d chase them until you
made yourself sick, laughing. And then I’d hold you and we’d stare at the
stars, and you always said they were different. It smelled like jasmine and
honey-“
“And
wild woods and freedom,” she whispers, her blue eyes impossibly wide in her
pretty face. I take a tentative step toward her, and touch her fingers.
Why are your stars different?
“It
wasn’t a delusion, Gwendy. You know it wasn’t. Trust yourself.”
She
shudders. “Can’t. My mind lies. It wasn’t—“
“Gwendy,”
I say, desperately. Her eyes are filling with tears and I can feel the disbelief, the way it will tear
apart the world I’ve known, and the girl I’ve loved, and I can’t. I move
without thinking, catch her head and bring her lips to mine.

Girl Lost Synopsis: 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.
