A haunting & beautifully written story of a teenage girl whoes parents died in a boat accident. She's under the care of her uncle who's also her shrink, moving back to the island she once grew up in but now a home for teenagers with different mental illness, looking at issues like self harm, suicide, panic attack. How she escape through imaginations & fantasy. Lots of Odyssey & Peter Pan references. 5⭐️

I was hearing so much about this book that despite my HUGE TBR pile I just had to get it! Finished it in two mornings. Author is young woman from Adelaide and I think she has done an excellent job of dealing with some mental health issues in a very readable story. @MrsMalaprop

I really enjoyed this book. Kit Learmonth was such a interesting complex character. A great story with themes of mental illness, it also mixed in Peter Pan and Greek mythology. Despite it's name this is not a Peter Pan retelling but a Australian YA contemporary (I knew this going in).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
