For years, my headcanon has been that Peter Pan is a fairy: Not necessarily evil, but indifferent and without understanding for humans. Which means this book is right up my alley. I like the idea and the execution, it was entertaining to read and it speaks to everyone who has ever been gaslighted by a narcissist.

Unfortunately, it ignored a lot of established backstory of Captain Hook and facts about Peter Pan, Neverland, etc. I would not mind ignoring a few things, but it felt too much to me, like the author did not really care about the source material. Maybe this story would have worked better on its own, not as a retelling. Plus, there is an unneccesary romance that just does not fit into the story at all.
