A very creative read. I have issues with the use of the term “boi” in the title and to describe many of the characters even though said characters are described as likely white and the author is definitely white. Other than that, I really really liked this take on Peter Pan, though. It still brings up emotions about being “grown up” and finding home and your family - but now all in a queer way. I loved the inclusion of Naloxone in the story and just all of the radical metaphors that tied the original Peter Pan and radical queer life into one piece.

A retelling of Peter Pan and Neverland as one big pan sexual BDSM scene. Not for the faint hearted but certainly an entertaining and at times poignant and beautiful read.

This read like a good spoken story or a journal, like you’re in the story brought along by a character. Dark, punk & made me feel like I was back in those years before needing to grow up - in a world of magic and play (but in a kink setting) - the world that so many of us return to, a land of make believe that’s very real. This story about queer family made me feel all kinds of ways. It’s such a good retelling too, with character names and story elements that really are seamlessly adapted.
