READ TW FOR THIS BOOK! Specifically a depiction of SA
I expected a lot more magic from this story even with Peter as the villain.
The story was pretty good but the book spent a lot of time making no progress and the Neverland you expect is largely missing. Despite the writing that I didn’t love I would’ve given this book closer to 4 stars except for the casual ableism(Jack returning to a wheelchair being the worst possible outcome Holly could think of) and the sexual assault scene that I think could’ve been easily replaced and kept the significance.
