I eagerly awaited a new spin on the classic about the Boy Who Never Grew Up. Hastings writing mimicked the confused Never Girl who was forgetful and impressionable. As always, Hastings writing is beautiful and lyrical. It was easy to see her love of this story but it felt too much like a history of baggage that I put away a long time ago.
TW: This will be tough to read for survivors of abuse. Must be read with a clear understanding of what is and is not acceptable in relationships.
