Okay y'all, I loved this book. I've always been a huge Peter Pan mythos fan, and honestly this was the best of the best. It had many beautiful nods to the classic works, while also not being afraid to chart it's own course. This was intense and heart wrenching, while also being fun and totally swoon worthy. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

STOP IT, THIS IS TOO CUTE. Y'all, I can't even. This book was so fun and cute and exactly what I needed to get in the Christmas spirit and out of my reading slump. I love Cinderella retelling, and have read rather a lot of them, but this one is wholly unique and just may take the cake as one of the best.
