I thought the big bad wolf was an appropriate name for Jas, Pete and Wendy make him out to be so horrible but they both ended up on good terms with him.<br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting Jeann!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061605624475014496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570207221867578379.post-37525591484169151472014-05-15T08:46:09.846+10:002014-05-15T08:46:09.846+10:00Ooh, this sounds really disappointing!

I'm sorry it didn't work for you, and Wendy sounds like an incredibly frustrating character (I have never liked Peter Pan as a story very much, not since I read it, and Wendy is tied with Peter as my least favourite character). A beautiful retelling is Tiger Lily, which I highly recommend if you haven't read it. It's so wonderful. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570207221867578379.post-80448006996516625912014-05-14T19:18:18.325+10:002014-05-14T19:18:18.325+10:00I have to admit, your review makes me want to bash...I have to admit, your review makes me want to bash my head against the wall of all the frustrations in Second Star lol. Wendy sounds sooo annoying and inconsistent, gah. I really hate how she falls in love with the person who she is hating to begin with (the big bad wolf). Staying away from this one. Thanks for the review Katie!

I don’t understand the insta-love either, it could have easily been written with none instead.

It has intrigued me each time I've seen it around, but I've never added it to my TBR. I'm so glad you reviewed this so I know not to waste my time on it. It's always a shame when you receive a book to review that you didn't like, so thank you for being honest as always. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570207221867578379.post-13995417142970011162014-05-14T04:50:07.945+10:002014-05-14T04:50:07.945+10:00Oh good grief, this one sounds a mess.

Not one case of instant love, but two? WHYYYYY! Why? I'm definitely passing on this one, I had no idea seeing the cover it would be a retelling, it looks like a YA contemporary surfing story.

Especially with a character that is so annoying that I would probably want to slap her. Plus two instances of insta-love would drive me over the edge. This sounds pretty awful, will definitely be avoiding this one myself.
