⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

All I knew about this book, was that it was a Peter Pan retelling. I go into books basically blind.

I can see why people might not like this story. I enjoyed the first half for sure and wasn’t entirely sold on the MCs Wendy and James falling in love. Definitely lust and obsession, but I would say it was more infatuation than anything. Plus it was very Stockholm Syndrome on Wendy’s part as she really didn’t know anything about James when she started liking him. I still don’t think we got much depth to him in the end.

It was obvious James was going to use Wendy as a means to get to her dad and that he would start liking her. I thought he was sweet when it came to her brother John. I didn’t see the twist coming at the end - like I thought this book was just going to be spice and some dark story, so I was pleasantly surprised how it unfolded at the end. The spice for me, was medium to high. It’s very important that consent was always present.

Do check your trigger warnings as there are morally grey characters in this book.
