This was a really sweet Peter Pan retelling that reimagines the fairy tale's most memorable themes - growing up and claiming adult responsibility, finding adventure in your day-to-day life - while also capturing the whimsical spirit of the original tale. This is a story that glimmers on page - literally, as we experience the Northern Lights from a heated Icelandic pool - and keeps the reader suspended between realities. I wasn't quite in the mood for a book as lighthearted as this ultimately was, but I think readers will love the focus on the female main character's growth, independence and agency at each turn.
Moderate: Sexual content, Abandonment
