5.0

I enjoyed this immensely, even though I had no idea what I was in for. 

This tale is set in a world where Peter Pan and Wendy were real.  The main character is Wendy’s granddaughter, Holly.  The story focuses on her, along with her 2 children and mother. 

Peter isn’t a good guy in this one- he’s far from it. He’s the reason the story takes a dark turn- this book didn’t come with any trigger warnings for me and I was very surprised.
