Description
On Wendy Darling’s first night in Chicago, a boy called Peter appears at her window. He’s dizzying, captivating, beautiful―so she agrees to join him for a night on the town.
Wendy thinks they’re heading to a party, but instead they’re soon running in the city’s underground. She makes friends―a punk girl named Tinkerbelle and the lost boys Peter watches over. And she makes enemies―the terrifying Detective Hook, and maybe Peter himself, as his sinister secrets start coming to light. Can Wendy find the courage to survive this night―and make sure everyone else does, too?
Acclaimed author K. Ancrum has re-envisioned Peter Pan with a central twist that will send all your previous memories of J. M. Barrie’s classic permanently off to Neverland.

What I loved: - the representation (African American, Korean American, Indigineous American, Russian American, deaf, asexual, bisexual, lesbian) - the whole dark adaptation of Peter Pan, like seriously, I'm not even that familiar with Peter Pan but I just loved how the characters and the story were adapted in the contemporary Chicago setting - the depiction of manipulation - so good (and dark) - the portrayal of consent, found family, and solidarity - the poetic writing style (why did I take me so long to read this book after "The Wicker King" since I know that K. Ancrum can write??) - the whole atmosphere What I did not like that much: - the ending - it felt a bit rushed and some aspects did not feel very logical (the overall ending did, don't worry)
