Move over Colleen Hoover, there’s a new incest-adjacent, sex obsessed, plot twist writer in town!

I just want to say I don’t think we should be supporting books that tell a story of

someone being kidnapped and then still having sex with them and falling in love with them and living with the person who kidnapped them. THEN killing their father and living happily ever after and making a family with the person who kidnapped them. And also, it’s really fucking weird that Jon is brothers with Hook and sisters with Wendy. Also, why the fuck was Peter Wendy’s dad in this story?? I’m sorry this was recommended to me by my 16 year old niece this is just not what I was expecting.

Peter Pan is ruined for me forever now. Do not recommend.

I feel that this book is very deserving of all of the hype that has been generated around it. But reader beware, if you’re looking for redemption arc, light hearted romance and healthy relationships, this is NOT the book for you. 

Its dark, its sexy, its consensual, but there are elements about it that can be triggering for some readers.

Depictions of child abuse, P*dophelia, and child death are more vague allusions than explicitly depicted
