Received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. No money changed hands. 
 All right, it's been a few weeks since I finished the book and I think my thoughts have ordered themselves. 
 Who am I kidding? I have no clue what to think about this book. It's so bizarre and yet well-written at the same time. It's so... un-Peter Pan, but then again how much of Peter Pan should I demand from a modern, retelling that mainly revolves around surfing? Truly, that's what this was. A Peter Pan inspired love letter to surfing. 
 Let's break this down. 
 Plotwise: This was insane. Wendy Darling's brothers, John and Michael have disappeared and are being counted as dead. This starts her on a journey to search for answers. A journey that will take her to Pete, Belle, Jas, and the lost boys. Most importantly, though, this will lead her to the waves and cause her to join the religion of surfing. (No, really, the way the surfers described their lifestyle it sounded like a religion.) 
 There was no Neverland. Just ocean and beaches, which was kind of cool. I don't know much about surfing (please, I live on the prairies, we don't have beaches,) so I don't know how accurate that whole aspect of the book was. It sure sounded cool, and I had no issue with it taking such a prevalence in the plot. 
 Characters: 
 Wendy was darling! She was exactly like Wendy; straight A student, a little boring, comes across a little prissy at first, but has so much more underneath. She went through great growth as a character and I loved reading about her. There was one section where I felt she was just too different from who Wendy is, but in most cases, she was spot on. She also went through a lot of emotional growth and mourning that I appreciated as well. 
 Pete, on the other hand was not, and that made me mad. I love Peter Pan. He's been a favourite character of mine since I was just a little girl. Obviously, I'm very picky about how he is treated then. Let's just that I was not impressed. 
 BUT BELLE WAS PERFECT! A human version of Tink; snappy, sarcastic, irritable, and of jealous nature. She's not a nice girl, but she's very Tinkerbell. 
 Jas... he was... I wish that he'd made it more clear that he didn't approve of selling drugs... I wish that whole issue had actually been dealt with. Definitely losing a start for the non-dealing with the Fairy Dust drugs. 
 Other than the characters, things were alright. The setting didn't strike me as great, but it wasn't bad or anything. I thought the whole taking Pan out of Neverland and putting him on the beaches was a neat idea. I don't really have any complaints, but I didn't fall madly in love with it either. 
 At the end of the day, I thought it was a very cool and imaginative story of Peter Pan. I loved Wendy, Belle, and the Lost Boys, but I will take the rating down because I felt like Jas's Fairy Dust plotline was just dropped when it needed some closure, and that Pete was just a bit too out of character. Still, I'd recommend this to Peter Pan fans. I think they'd have a lot of fun reading it, and find quite a few aspects of Wendy's life touching and relatable.
