“The greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life was to love you, Wendy darling”

I enjoyed this. Wendy was a bit too “innocent” and naive for me, it was a bit eye rolling. I liked the twists at the end and the epilogue taking place two years later.

geooo's review against another edition

This is terrible. It is poorly written, the characters don't have any ounce of complexity to them and there is no character development as of right now. However, the worst thing about this story, the thing that made me dnf it is the amount of sexism. This book is purely sexist trash, how the men talk about women, the girl on girl hate, how the mc treated the fmc, at one moment stalking her home so she wouldn't be sexualy assaulted, doing that only because he doesn't want his things "damaged", these things were disgusting and just because the mmc is a villain doesn't excuse his actions. Absolutely disgusting. I don't understand the hype and will definitely will not be reading the next book.

I actually enjoyed the plot and the twist. The names and nods to the original Peter Pan story and fun to catch. Some of the spicy scenes felt out of no wherr though. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend to Disney villain lovers

Not bad. Might pick it up later but just not the best and much darker than I anticipated.

Really enjoyed this book. It is very much "villain gets the girl". This is not a morally grey character who becomes good and whatnot but very much villain with a heart of gold for basically only her. Be advised. I really enjoyed all the ways the author incorporated the original tale like having characters named after both of Wendy's middle names and having the main characters last name be the original Peter Pan author's last name.
