A review by gingerlyjulie
Darling Girl by Liz Michalski

4.0

Faith, trust, and pixie dust were all a kid could ever dream of when it comes to the famous Peter Pan and the adventures of Neverland. But children grow, and so does the boy who claims he never does. Turning J.M. Barrie’s narrative on its head, Darling Girl captivates its readers by revealing that what we knew was not the truth afterall, and bringing a very modern look to the classic fairytale. With so many secrets held by the Darling family, the stakes ever so high, and the unexpected around every corner (with Peter not too far behind), this book will leave you wanting to know more about the truth of Wendy’s adventure with Peter, and the truth about Neverland itself. Darling Girl is sure to bring back a love for a classic fairytale while leaving room for interpretations galore, never straying too far from the second star to the right.
