Girl Lost - A Guest Post! + Giveaway
Girl Lost by Nazarea Andrews
Excited to bring you a guest post from author Nazarea Andrews about her book - Girl Lost. We hope you'll take the time to check it out, and check out the awesome story that goes along with it.
The Great What If.
So here’s what happened. My kids were watching Peter Pan.
And he took Wendy home and flew away and she started telling her adorably
idiotic father about the boy who took her away on a floating boat.
And I just sat there and thought, “Dude. She’d be locked up
so freaking fast for being crazy.”
And that thought was quickly followed by, ‘ooooh. Story!!”
And it grew from there. Peter Pan is a story about a boy who
never grew up and the girl who waltzed in and out of his life. And we aren’t
given more than that—and I wanted
more. So I thought about it—what would a modern Peter Pan look like? What would
happen if Pan chased Wendy down, not content to let her go? What would that do
to TinkerBell? How would Wendy readjust to the world after her time in
Neverland?
All these thoughts—the questions about what happened next
and what if…led me to Gwendy and the
Boy, and all the rest. And the story at Northern unfolded.
It’s not a true retelling—it’s a ‘what happened next’. And I
hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Girl Lost Synopsis:
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.
