Never Ever by Sara Saedi

This was not the retelling I had hoped for, I’m a huge sucker for a Peter/Wendy relationship and I’m disappointed in the outcome if I’m being honest.
I had a lot of issues with this story but mainly I thought that the writing was juvenile, and I would say that a younger age group might enjoy it but the book covers topics such as sex that children probably shouldn’t be reading.
As well I had a hard time with the quick pacing of this novel, everything happened so quickly and i didn’t have any time to really believe that Phinn and Wiley had genuinely fallen in love.
There were other issues such as sexism, which was addressed and then immediately forgotten, which I had a hard time stomaching.
BUT THE WORST IS THAT SHE RAGS ON HER FRIENDS FOR THEIR ACTIVISM AND HOME GIRL HATES RECYCLING ?!?!?
Also cliffhanger ending that was like SUPER abrupt. I can’t say this was one of my favourite reads, I don’t think it cracks my top 50 tbh. But it did make me wanna rewatch Peter Pan.
