This book was not what I thought it would be. The writing was decent, the characters were alright. The ending of the book was nice. I’m really glad Jane believed her daughter; that was really nice and very necessary.  I feel like the twist of the story was too dark… like it was just way too creepy and uncomfortable.

Peter Pan is a rapist??? And he takes advantage of teenage boys???

Like why would you write that?!? Idk I just feel like this book could have stayed in the drafts. I’m really glad I didn’t pay for this book. And I’m really glad this book is over. Would not recommend to anyone.

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
