Sometimes I felt the book leaned too much into previous characterizations of Wendy and Peter, but the further on it went the more I could feel the characters becoming the author's own. The ending came about
One thing I found slightly unrealistic though was that none of the kids spilled the beans on Peter Pan.

The pace only picked up at 86% of the way through. The show & then tell method of storytelling was not great and just made me frustrated with the main character who was a bit slow on the uptake.
Would not read or recommend but the last 24% really came on to have save the book (hence the 2.5 vs 1 star rating)

The author also often includes a “best friend” who would be great to get to know more about and get to interact with in the story… but then gives them very little “screen time” and focuses on the two characters with a romantic connection. Maybe they have a hard time juggling multiple character interactions at once?
Overall, I think this book has a very interesting and unique spin on the “Peter Pan” story. I feel like the author struggled to find a believable way to end the main conflict, which is a shame because the surrounding plot seemed pretty solid. The writing style wasn’t for me, but I’m sure others can easily enjoy the book regardless.
