Wendy’s life was upended years ago when she and her brothers went missing in the woods, and only she returned (with no memory of what occurred). I enjoyed this Peter Pan-inspired story. It didn’t wow me, but I enjoyed the experience. Wendy’s complicated relationship with Peter, and Peter’s complicated relationship with stories were compelling enough to keep me reading. The ending feels both like a little much and very satisfying.
