There have been multiple Peter Pan retellings published recently which I find odd but also fascinating. Peter Pan is one of my favorite Disney movies and I love reading what are essentially sequels to the story of the boy who never grew up.

Last year I read Wendy Darling last year and it was really good so when I got a ARC of 'Darling Girl' by Liz Michalski I was excited to read another novel based around this classic children's story. 



A children's story this was not... this book deserves all the trigger warnings but my goodness it was incredible. A lot of people do not like this book but I really loved it. It was dark, twisted, exciting and so interesting. Of course it is about Peter Pan so it's not realistic but this was a really out of the box story and I loved it. It was so incredibly far fetched I couldn't help but get swept up in it. 


Darling Girl was rich with history, fantasy, and Peter Pan easter eggs. It is well worth the read, in my opinion.
