Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel

Summary: "Seventeen-year-old Wendy Darling sets out to find her missing surfer brothers and finds herself on a secluded California beach, where she meets Pete, Belle, Jas, and others, learns to surf, helps some of them steal while avoiding the other's drug trade, and falls in love."

Second Star is a contemporary twist on the Peter Pan story, almost like a fan fiction "alternate universe" of sorts. Second Star surprised me in so many good ways. I absolutely love everything Peter Pan, and I enjoyed how the author worked in so many memorable things from the Peter Pan story into this book in new and fun ways, while still managing to capture the essence of the story. Wendy's journey really touches your heart and leaves you wanting more.
