Gosh, this book was so good. It was a little slow to start, but once it picked up, I couldn't put it down. Satisfying enemies-to-lovers arc, incredibly fascinating take on Neverland and the fairies, and a thoughtful exploration of non-accepting family. My only gripe is that it was so short, I felt like this concept had so much more room to grow. That isn't to say the story doesn't feel finished, but it does feel kind of rushed.

Personally loved the romance. Enemies to lovers, muah.

I think this was the first time I’ve actually read a book with explicit transgender representation.
 I think it was done pretty well, but I wouldn’t really know, myself. 

I would have been interested to see if there would be any sort of aspect where Peter would see his family again, but looking back on it now, it is not really  part of the story, and I understand that

If you’re looking out for transphobia, heads up

it’s in the form of flashbacks, not in the present setting. However, Peter does experience self-inflicted thoughts towards himself
