Synopsis
There is a boy of legend in the tales passed down in my family. He glides on the coat-tails of the sun, rides the wind, and freedom runs through his veins. His heart - so the legend goes - is wild.
The boy lived in a faraway land tucked behind a star, where pirates were still true, mermaids didn't hide, and fairies flew through the air like autumn leaves on a windy day. He took my mother there, just like he took my grandmother, and my great-grandmother.
Just as he would come for me.
*
Swept away from her life in London to a place beyond the stars, Wendy's granddaughter Daphne is torn between the boy of legend - Peter Pan, whose fate is irrevocably intertwined with her family's - and Jem Hook, the pirate who has captured her heart against all her better judgement.
Filled with hope and heartbreak, beauty and betrayal, dreams and devastating reality, Never Can we ever be free while we're holding on to the past? And what would happen if - just once - we truly let go?

J'espérais, malgré les mauvais avis, être agréablement surprise par cette réécriture de Peter Pan, mais cela n'a hélas pas été le cas. Des personnages détestables, des notes de bas de page agaçantes, des "oh mon Dieu qu'il est beau, même si je ne devrais pas penser ça" à outrance, des dialogues et situations lunaires, pour un tout qui tient plus de la mauvaise fanfiction qu'autre chose...
Lorsque j’ai terminé ce livre, je ne savais pas si j’avais aimé ou détesté… Finalement, c’est la 2e option.
J’ai détesté les personnages et j’ai trouvé l’histoire totalement incohérente et brouillonne.
