Second star to the left and continue until morning.
I got that line tattooed on my wrist the day I turned twenty-one. So much symbolism in such a simple sentence. At the time, it was a nod to the future and the infinite possibilities to come, while reminding me to remember the past and to look for magic in the world.
Growing up, nothing was ever what it seemed. The shift of leaves on a tree was a faery skipping by. Shooting stars were a chance to make wishes. Shadows were souls stuck between this world and the next, mirroring a life they once had.
My imagination was limitless, the world a wonderful adventure waiting to unfold.
It’s easy to lose that sense of wonder with the weight of life on your shoulders and I wanted a reminder to get me through the hard days.
Most importantly, it was an ode to the boy who earned the title of my first crush, even if he was animated. Peter Pan wasn’t a Save the Damsel kind of prince. He was daring, and selfless, and took care of the ones he loved. He was a friend to all but never afraid to fight the Pirates when their moral compass broke. Wendy was an idiot for leaving him. She rushed home to a heartless world full of men willing to lie through their teeth to get down her pants.
But that’s the beauty of a book, the characters are perfectly flawed. Damaged just enough that we still love them. Whereas reality is nothing but empty promises and baggage the size of mountains.
The day I got my tattoo I would have given anything to be whisked away into a fairytale. My world was crumbling and all I wanted was to go back to when life was simpler. I didn’t realize I had sealed my fate in ink.
Branded myself as one of the Lost.
Neverland was everything the stories made it out to be. Beautiful. Full of magic. Filled with handsome men and debonair pirates. But the author of my favorite tale left out one crucial detail.
In order to get there, you have to die.

From the Publisher
The Lost Darling is one of my favorite reads for the year, it was funny, spicy, angsty, and the characters are the best.. I’m dying for book 2 so I can dive further into the past history between Peter and Wednesday!!
-Goodreads Reviewer
The Lost Darling is everything I hoped it to be and more. It took the classic fairy tale that we all loved and grew up on and modernized it. I know I can say I always wanted to go to Neverland.
-Goodreads Reviewer
It’s dark and angsty, but what really intrigues me is it doesn’t quiet follow the story of the fairytale. There’s mystery and secrets, so many secrets. I kept wondering what secrets everyone was keeping. You have no clue who’s telling the truth or lying, and who’s side their on. All I know is I’m needing the next book. This book was so good it’s definitely a must read.
