Forever Found Synopsis:

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.
Girl Lost Synopsis:
.jpg)
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.

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.

I have to be honest Peter Pan is the first book that I learned how to read. Mom taught me by reading over and over. I memorized the book and fell in love at an early age. I can only imagine how fun these two books are going to be reading them! Good luck and congrats!
