I haven't read many Peter Pan inspired books that I've enjoyed, but this one I liked a lot. Never follows Daphne, Wendy's great great grand daughter. The majority of her teenage years, her grandmothers wait for Peter Pan to come and take Daphne to Neverland as he did with them many many years ago, but he never comes. At 17 she thinks that he may never come for her, until one night he appears in her window. Daphne is taken on an adventure to Neverland and everything she thought she knew and understood to be rational is challenged. Neverland is full of secrets and mysterious characters like faeries, mermaids, and pirates. This book does have a love triangle, but I find myself rooting for one of the characters significantly more than the other. Fans of the writing style that Jessa uses in the Magnolia Parks series will like the style used in this book. This is a very character driven book, so if you're looking for a more plot driven story, this may not be for you. I found the characters frustrating at times, but I think it's intentional in the writing and to the story. I am very much intrigued and can't wait for book 2! Never is an Adult romance, 18+ for some sexual content and themes
