Retelling of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, but with a darkness you've likely not encountered in other retellings/continuations. We follow Holly Darling (Wendy's granddaughter) in trying to find her own daughter Eden, after she's disappeared from the family estate despite being in a coma for a decade. In order to find Eden, Holly must first find Peter Pan - who, despite what you may currently think, is both very real and quite dangerous.

While I always enjoy a perspective shift and credit Michalski for challenging our current thoughts on the classic fairytale - is Peter Pan the nice guy we all remember? or is there a darker side to him and his motivations? - readers should note some potential triggers for readers surrounding rape/sexual assault, domestic violence, and self harm/suicidal ideation. While these moments are infrequent and references mostly vague and short-lived, I understand including them to support Michalski's chosen narrative but wish this was more apparent in the outside cover description to warn readers. It didn't ruin my read, but was wildly unexpected for what I thought I was picking up. The provided description gave me more "fairytale with dark twist" but the contents leaned more heavily to "dark read loosely based on a well-known fairytale."

I enjoyed the read but not sure I'd be quick to recommend. I also felt it was a missed opportunity to only focus on Holly's POV alone. Would have loved to hear the voice of Jane (Holly's mother) and Eden (Holly's daughter) as well to really round this one out.
