Was this my favorite book ever? No, not really. BUT it got me out of one of the worst reading slumps ever!! While I enjoyed this book, some elements rubbed me the wrong way.
Edit: Looking back, i don’t really remember those elements. And I feel like that’s what matters with a good book! If you look back a year later and only remember the good parts, you know, at the core, it’s a good book. That’s how I feel about this!
First of my peeves… in Peter’s POV the amount of Britishisms (or whatever you want to call them

(Short review)
I loved the idea so much! At first I was skeptical cause I grew up with the Tinker Bell movies and I was curious what the author was gonna do.
I liked how she included the neverbeast and other aspects of the Tinker bell and Peter Pan movies.
I wasn’t a fan of how some of the characters acted but that’s to be expected.
I like how the characters past played a big part of them and how slowly we learned why.
Peter and Lily are hilarious
Peter and Claire are adorable yet frustrating.
I’m hoping to have a more in depth review eventually.
(P.s. I finished this book in a day.)

This book had so many things going for it. Literally all of my book friends raved about it; I really liked the author’s other book, The Girl Who Could See; it was a Peter Pan retelling; the plot sounded interesting; and it even had a really cool cover. It was on my TBR ever since I heard about it and may or may not have squealed when I saw it was available on my library app.
It was okay. I liked the world building. I didn’t relate to Claire as much as I thought I would, and I didn’t like Peter/Ben. I kept reading, waiting for things to be resolved, only to find out at the end that there’s another book coming after this so the main conflict isn’t taken care of.
So...yeah. I’ll give it 3 stars since it was good, just not amazing like I’d hoped for, but probably will not read the sequel.
