(I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Read on my blog.

But this wasn’t a kiss like any other; because by the time they both needed to breathe, by the time Peter’s hands were completely wound in Mir’s hair and Mir’s hands were thoroughly occupied with holding Peter at the hips, they both realized that they’d taken flight.

This was a lovely queer retelling of Peter Pan where Peter is trans, the main love interest is nonbinary (with they/them pronouns), "Wendy" and Tinker Bell are both sapphic, and "Captain Hook" is another one of their friends.

I loved the little intermissions (Tinker Bell's "thoughts") and the concept of Neverland as a virtual reality island. I also loved how so many parts of the original story, like Tinker Bell's chiming or James's hook was translated into this new world.

This story is less than 100 pages, and while some parts fell a little flat, I ended up loving it by the end. It also ends with one m/m/nb and one f/f relationship, which made my heart really happy.

Note: There are two comments in the early chapters where strangers misgender Peter based on his appearance, but thankfully this doesn't happen later. There is also one sentence where I got a little confused, but I think he/him pronouns were used for Mir because it doesn't make sense if the sentence was referring to someone else? I'm inclined to believe this was a typo/one-time mistake though because Mir's pronouns are otherwise respected everywhere else.

The author is also nonbinary using they/them pronouns, so this is #ownvoices for nonbinary rep.
