Goodreads review by Pauly on November 15, 2021

Ever so beautiful and tragic Peter Pan was a favorite when I was a child. It was a lovely thing to dream of a place called Neverland, where one may fly with fairies and splash with mermaids.

But at least I’m an honest loser? I didn’t really like Peter. Wendy annoyed me. And the humor and tone just fell flat f......more
