Waiting on Wednesday: Tiger Lily (25)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week, I am waiting on...
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Expected Publication Date: July 3, 2012
Publisher: Harper Collins
Synopsis: 15 year old Tiger Lily, proud and fierce, wild and misunderstood, doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the 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, big-hearted but hard to reach, 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 the haunted, hunted, courageous boy who loves her. When - as a punishment for her rebellious ways - 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.
Why I'm Waiting On It: Tiger Lily is a character in Peter Pan that I think people tend to look over. I'm so glad that someone (namely, Jodi Lynn Anderson) has decided to create a story in her perspective--and what a story it is! This book sounds beautiful, heart breaking, and magical. I cannot wait to read it. Plus, the cover? Hello--gorgeous!

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
