Had a good message about holding onto childlike wonder but the fact that a GROWN man wanted Wendy, a child, to 'be' his mother was beyond odd to me. It felt like one of the lessons girls are supposed to take from this book is to be prepared to 'mommy' to every boy and man in your life, and I just can't get behind that. Beautifully written, though.

Buddy read with Nana (not to be confused with the dog nurse 😂)
As usual, this was golden ❤️

This is honestly so wonderful. I read this mostly because I am writing a dark fantasy Peter Pan retelling (you can vote on a title here), but it really exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be enjoyable--it is a classic that has stood the test of time--but it was really a fantastic story told so wonderfully. It feels like it is being told to you, and it feels like there's even more to tell, which is probably why it has become so iconic. Peter's character is so interesting because he's almost an antihero sometimes, and quite similar to Hook in so many ways. If you've only seen the Disney movie, you really should read the book because it is significantly better in every conceivable way (except for the singing--there isn't a lot of singing lol).
