5.0

An emotional retelling of Peter Pan, and the desire to throw away everything for the memory of a friendship that meant the world. Parry's gorgeous prose and insightful words lend a new magic to Neverland, and perhaps make you see the world simultaneously through the lens of the child Peter and the adult James [Hook]. Perfectly executed in novella form. Bittersweet (I cried) and moving.
