The story kept to a single night, and, at first, you think it’s a fun retelling, but the dread slowly grows until you’re screaming!
I was incredibly invested in all of the characters, drawn in by what they were going through and only wanting the best for them. I also really appreciated how Ancrum incorporated little details from the original Peter Pan in modern Chicago.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself the whole way through!

I loved this retelling, I loved everything about it. It's so nice and inspiring to see all the different diversity from Wendy being Black, to every side characters of color (Black, Korean, Russian, Ojibwe), who are queer (lesbian, bisexual and asexual rep!) to characters with disabilities (hearing impaired and amputated hand).
Don't get me wrong, I love the disney version of Peter Pan, but I always found myself drawn to the gritty version that most media tends to avoid. The intense idea of found family plays well throughout the novel and we follow Wendy Darling as she gets pulled into the crime life and
I would caution readers that has experienced abuse, gaslighting, grooming or any form of toxic relationships to not read this book.
