Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair. . . . Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell. Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter. With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart. From the New York Times bestselling author of Peaches comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.

It was a really nice new take on the Peter Pan story. My favorite part is that it is told in first person b...
When I was a kid, my favorite book was Peter Pan—the original, not the Disney adaptation or the musical. I read it over and over, so when I saw a book purporting to tell the story of Tiger Lily, as narrated by Tinker Bell, it seemed like a natural fit. I love books that re-imagine classic literature...
This was so beautiful. And heartbreaking. I didn't cry while reading, but after finishing I felt a big, gaping hole in my heart. Tiger Lily is a really sad and dark story, but it also has its moments of light. I really like all the characters. They're all so complex and developed. Tiger Lily is a ...
I wanted to read this book for a long time — so long that, after I started it and a friend told me it wasn’t worth my time, I insisted that I soldier on, anyway. I don’t regret finishing it, but it wasn’t necessarily worth the wait. What sticks with me the most is the book’s vivid portrayal of Tig...
