     A horrible, miserable attempt at retelling the story of Peter Pan. The main character kept making choices that dragged the story on and on. Like never telling the police about anything and all that. Also, I was considering giving it three stars, until the last 50 fucking pages. Some of the worst writing/closure I have seen. I honestly feel really bad saying such awful things about this book but GIRL I FEEL ROBBED!! When the most vital parts happen, the main character falls asleep and all the issues are solved. Really.??!!? And then she also calls an ambulance and the ambulance should have been an issue but it was forgotten about?? And don’t even get me started on the treacherous romance with Christopher. He was meant to be Captain Hook, but the writer only made feeble attempts to connect him. There was no actual flashback to Hooks life ever. And we never went to neverland. Are you kidding me??
