It has been years since 17yo Wendy Darling's adventures in Neverland, but she has never stopped thinking about it or about Peter Pan. She has grown into a beautiful, independent, and intelligent young woman with many suitors, but is not interested in any of them. That is until she meets handsome Liam Blackwell at a Masquerade Ball. Wendy is instantly twitterpated by Liam and as they get to know each other throughout the night, Wendy picks up on subtle phrases and details that make her wonder how he is connected to Neverland and Captain Hook. When Liam leaves the Ball, Wendy's curiosity gets the best of her and she ends up following him, only to find herself back in Neverland and facing a dilemma about who she can really trust and where her loyalty lies.
Wendy's Ever After is a charming Fantasy read that moves quickly without dull moments. Peter Pan brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood and I appreciated the different perspectives of each character that the author adds to the story. Background knowledge of the story of Peter Pan may be helpful but not necessary. Julie Wright includes book discussion questions in the back of the book for those interested in using this as a book club read.
Ethnicity is not mentioned although Wendy has light, fair skin and Liam has very dark hair and blue eyes.
