jess's Reviews > Never

You might think I’m foolish for jumping out my window in the dead of night with a boy whose hair is as messy as his heart, but then, if you don’t understand the lure and pull of the boy in question, I’m terribly sorry to inform you, but you’ve never met Peter Pan.

i don’t think you’re foolish daphne, i think you’re borderline stupid.


i will be spoiling this book so if you want to read this book for yourself if you hate yourself that much then please click out <3


to say this was such an anticipated read for me is an understatement and this failed me so badly. i think we should keep childhood retellings YA, cause it seems that those are the only good versions of them. I’m honestly not sure what exactly jessa was attempting to convey cause it was honestly a big fat dumpster fire.


daphne is so fucking idiotic. to brag about how clever you are at the beginning and continue on with your “i’m not boy crazy like my grandma and great-grandma” speech every chance you get to do a complete 360 and act that way is baffling. this girl is the definition of living in delusion.






this is genuinely how this dumb girl acted when peter was doing shady shit?!?! and all for her to go up into the cloud and FORGET IT ALL?!?!





my entire reaction through this book. and the thing is i was somewhat enjoying it at first, i had a peter pan playlist going on and then i decided to read the second half with no music….and the clarity that hit? wow it might’ve bitch slapped me even.


i don’t even drink alcohol but i think i need a mega pint for all the frustration i had to endure. peter pan was so freaking annoying. and listen i get it he’s the boy that never wants to grow up but honestly he was a piece of shit.

He shakes his head, tired. “If I brought Calla here, she would wonder with me.”

ah yes let’s excuse peter trying to gaslight daphne into sex because he’s “the boy who never wants to grow up” you cannot convince me in anyway that he doesn’t know what he’s doing or saying. he isn’t some “clueless” lost boy. he’s a master manipulative gaslighting villain.


now onto the next gross pedophile.. at first i liked hook, i thought wow he is so much better until i learned of his age. 22? 22 turning 23 and she’s 17 turning 18? who in the right mind is okay with that? and for people saying she’s practically 18… like how do you not see the issue with that? one day being 18 = mature adult? ESPECIALLY with the way she acted? pls i’m asking for someone to run me over, i think i would enjoy that a million times more.


like i genuinely do not want to repeat what they said at times because it’s actually gross, sure this was supposed to have that “dark” undertone but dark ≠ awful.


this is personally my fave alternative ending…





overall, this was bad like i rather be trapped in an elevator with a certain gang lord for a year than have to read this book ever again. the biggest crime yet is how it’s such a beauty to look at. they really did mean it when they said what’s on the inside matters more than what’s on the outside.
