It’s a wonderful take on a classic story. The second half really got to me, and I love the ending and the feelings it invokes.

4.0

A wonderfully reflective book on the tempting comfort of childhood and the necessity to distance from it. I love how the author portrayed Peter’s transness in many of the flashbacks, I found the innocence of a young trans boy intensely realistic and equally heartbreaking. I also absolutely loved the new twist on Neverland and the beings who inhabit it; what it represents in not only the book’s context but in what it implies with the original story of Peter Pan as well. Loved the fairies as well, a very unique and fun design. I was a bit skeptical of the Hook and Peter dynamic at the beginning due to their age gap, but it did turn out rather sweet. I think a lot of it had to do with Peter’s childish demeanour at the beginning, but his development was integral to the story and he grew to fit the narrative.

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.
