If you like twisted fairytales, or books that are mysterious and leave you asking tons of questions throughout, you'll like this book! My only complaint is that there wasn't a ton of explanation on the world building, like what gave Peter Pan his abilities and why he turned out the way he did, or what is the "true" story that happened to Wendy? So you may not get all the answers at the end, but still a compelling retelling.
Graphic: Grief
Moderate: Child death, Rape, and Car accident
Minor: Drug use, Suicidal thoughts, and Chronic illness
