Ugh this plot could have been so good if a few things were changed. I think I needed to focus on different elements. Tell the story of the real Peter through the eyes of each of the Darling girls instead of whatever this ended up being. The author is talented but this is just not the book for me. Wish I liked it more.
Graphic: Rape and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Alcohol, Ableism, Gaslighting, Injury/Injury detail, Medical content, Mental illness, Abandonment, Car accident, and Medical trauma
