Darling
by
As a child, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella didn't stand a chance with me. I was a Peter Pan kind of girl, obsessed with the movie, with children who never grew up and who could fly with magic dust.🧚â€â™€ï¸�
Darling is a darker and refreshing retelling, with a wicked twisted.
That said, I think it left a lot to be desired in terms of depth.
Maybe because it all happened in one night?🤷â€â™€ï¸�

I also loved Peter Pan as a kid. 😉 Sorry this wasn't better for you, Jan! I'm sure you expected to like it a bit more. 💕

You bet I did. I liked The Wicker King so much!! So, I had 2 good reasons to set up this bar so high.
One night? Wow…that’s a quickie. 😉Peter Pan is lovely!! 😘
Oh nooes. 😢 Ugh, sorry it wasn't all that sista. Too bad. Peter pan rocks. ðŸ˜
I never was Peter Pan obsessed but my sister sure was. How many times can one kid go on the Peter Pan Disneyland ride? So many. 😂 But now that I’m older, I definitely see the sexiness in Captain Hook. Happy you liked most of it. Any other suggestions for m/m Peter Pan? 🤔
One night, that’s quick!!! Sorry you didn’t love it more. I’m so annoyed with GR - this never appeared in my feed (one of many recently) 😡 Only found it because I remembered you were reading and was interested to see what you think, as I love Peter Pan too!

I am old too and still a Peter Pan fan. 😜😜
But think, 🤔 my penchant for bad boys already at that age. 😈
how unhealthy 🙈🙉🙊 I WAS a kid. Bad, bad, Jan.
I don't have any other to recommend. Darling is a very updatedd and modern version. Interesting really.
Oof, I could see the timeline (just one night?!) being a huge deterrent when it comes to possible character/relationship developments. But hey, a dark and twisted Peter Pan retelling does sound amazing 👀

That musty have been a hell of a night, Jan! 😂 Fab review! 😘

I should watch the original again after all these years. 🤷â€â™€ï¸ðŸ˜�

This was no romance. xx

👯â€â™‚ï¸� We were a bit naughty, weren't we? 😈
Now I realise that Peter Pan was the first anti-hero character to steal my heart. 😂🤣

It was fate, Jan, obviously. Just the first of many to come. 😉
I liked my romance to come with a good subgenre since I was little, apparently. Or maybe I just didn't see the appeal in cleaning the house and cooking. That's not changed. 😂😂
