a peter pan retelling following the granddaughter of wendy who is a girlboss dr ceo helicopter parent that injects her kids with experimental drugs and was r*ped by peter pan

sorta read like a weird twisted fanfic. my favorite part is the dog at the end 

the only reason i finished this is because i was home sick and had nothing else to do

the main character is so unrelatable and not great that this book is a pain

Ugh this plot could have been so good if a few things were changed. I think I needed to focus on different elements. Tell the story of the real Peter through the eyes of each of the Darling girls instead of whatever this ended up being. The author is talented but this is just not the book for me. Wish I liked it more.
