Ok, is this going to win any literary awards? No. Was it trying to be too big for its boots? No. Is this really fun and silly? Yes. Its a dark retelling of Peter Pan and the lost boys. Its spicy. Its rediculous. My only gripe was that it was meant to be enemies to lovers which i honestly didnt feel the enemies part of it.

I am a sucker for the Peter Pan fairytale and when my book club suggest this I just had to read the series. This book pulled me in from the very beginning. 

It’s based generations after the original Wendy Darling had visited Neverland but now it’s darker then before. Peter is only after one thing. Finding his shadow, and he’s convinced this new Darling girl has the answers he’s been searching for all these years. Will she be able to help him find his shadow and become the King of Neverland once again or will she disappoint him as the others did before her?

I dunno. I felt like the book was going at a good pace and then suddenly it felt rushed and then it was over? It left me wanting, but not in an eager way - like you would for a sequel. I finished reading and went "....That was it? 🤨"
