Don’t waste your time. It’s just another Peter Pan story that tried to be different by making itself really dark and “gritty”. Kept reading because I thought the ending would have a payoff. It didn’t.

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.

This is a really interesting reimagining of a classic story. I expected more of a fairy tale/adventure, but this book looks at more of the emotional, relationship-based side of things. Definitely unexpected, definitely fascinating.
