It’s complicated pretty much sums up my feelings about this book. I loved this adult take on the Peter Pan fantasy. Is he good? Is he bad? Is he just misunderstood? Honestly couldn’t tell you because the author never seems to really explain much.
The pacing of the book is fine but nothing really pivotable happens until the last 50 pages. Then all the sudden “stuff happens” but you’re still left with a lot of questions about the MC, her kids, Neverland, etc. It feels like the author had a LOT of cool ideas but didn’t know how to continue them.
Overall, I didn’t think it was horrible. It’s an entertaining read with some issues, but it’s not bad.
