@linawriteswords Agreed! It’s refreshing to see something so nostalgic become something more. We grew into a new version of Peter Pan, one that is more relatable for our age group. #LTWL116
Do you think the book was too slow or do you think the beginning was the best part and then it lost its depth? In these two articles, these authors have opposing views about what the “good part” is in this book. https://t.co/9syJRXesOb

My favorite thing in the world is rewriting fairytales! I loved “Lost In The Never Woods” take on Peter Pan! I loved how Wendy was confused about where the missing children go, unlike in the original Peter Pan where she remembered Neverland. #LTWL116
@andreavLTWL116 Totally agree! I also hated Déesse. She gave me President Snow vibes from The Hunger Games. She was rallying hope for what? The chance to maybe live a life of luxury? It made me sick. #LTWL116
https://t.co/mA5vqe6ja9 I thought it was interesting that Kirkus Reviews referred to this world as a place of “toxic femininity”. What does that really mean? How is it different from toxic masculinity?#LTWL116
I find it interesting that in this dystopian world men are the ones who are sexualized and women are the ones who rule society. I have never read a book where women were the dominant gender. #LTWL116
@silviavergara02 I so agree! It was so refreshing to see supportive parents right off the bat and not parents that had to take a while to adjust and accept their kid. #ltwl116
Love, Simon was such a wholesome gay film. It was the first time I ever watched a gay film that didn’t include one of the protagonists dying in the end or the couple not getting together. #ltwl116
@bellaltwl 1000% agreed! It was heartbreaking to get into the mind and heart of Bri and become attached to her to only then see so many people view her as just another statistic. #LTWL116
It broke my heart how when Bri’s dad was killed, her mom basically died with him. I felt like Bri started calling her mom Jay to detach herself from her mom. Bri felt like she couldn’t rely on anyone anymore. It was better to disassociate than feel abandoned. #LTWL116
@yungturntboy Totally agree! I feel like everyone says they would take a bullet for someone at some point in their life. But the act of actually going through with it is another story. Katniss is one of the most selfless protagonists we have discussed thus far. #LTWL116
What I love about Katniss is she never wanted to be a hero, or the face of a new future and freedom. This was the first book/movie I read where the protagonist admitted that she only wanted to save her own skin and loved ones. She was more relatable/likable that way. #LTWL116
@ColleenConradi So true! Although some people may think otherwise, I feel like Edward helped Bella blossom into her own person and he encouraged her to put herself first for once. He taught her that it’s not selfish to want happiness for yourself. #LTWL116
Bella is way more independent, stubborn, intelligent, and tough than the way people portray her across social media. She seems to be an easy character to make fun of, yet I can’t find many things to make fun of her for (except her outfit choices). #LTWL116
@leilaniltwl116 I thought the same thing! I feel like the only way we would really know is if we saw what Melinda’s life was like beforehand. Maybe her “friends” were similar to Heather. #LTWL116
Who was Melinda before her rape in “Speak” by Anderson? Was she still struggling due to parental negligence? Would she have had the voice to speak up about her attack if her parents had raised her to believe that she was important and her voice should be heard? #LTWL116
