A review by musingswithtay
Darling Girl by Liz Michalski

3.5

I liked it a little more than I thought I would, considering I was bored out of my mind until the final third of the book.

Might be my fault for thinking we’d go to Neverland, but hey. Whatever. I liked what she did with the story, and I thought Peter was well written, maybe even Jane, but that was it. On its own, I liked it. However, when I think of evil Peter Pan, I want to go to Neverland and see how that has been impacted by him. Another user stated that this book wasn’t about Peter, but more about the lives he has impacted, and that’s 100% true. I kept waiting for the correlating characters from Neverland in the real world to reveal themselves, but that isn’t this retelling. It’s good, but not what I expected/necessarily wanted.
