review 1: After John and Michael go missing, Wendy is certain they are out there somewhere. She goes on a quest to find the beaches they may be surfing and meets Pete, Belle, and their gang at Kensington Beach. The question remains: are they real or figments of Wendy's imagination born from her grief? I found Second Star haunting. If the original Peter Pan were not full of whimsy, it would feel exactly like Alyssa Sheinmel's story. Despite the sadness of the book, I was drawn to it and found it hard to put down. I enjoyed the re-imagining of many of the characters and felt it was true to the original, if only emotionally.
review 2: I picked this book up simply because of the cover. I thought it was really gorgeous and it looked like something I would like. When I start r... moreeading I was instantly captivated by the plot. This book was romantic and sweet and was not what I was expecting. I was going wait the end. I couldn't believe what happened and I was left speechless which doesn't really happen very often in books. There was something special about this one and I suggest it if you love contemporary. less
