🌟Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (rounded up)
💧Drip-o-Meter: 💦💦💦
💗Something I Loved: I was actually surprised with how much I loved the Peter Pan vibes. I truly thought I was going to have a harder time with the fairytale aspect but it was very well done without being overly cheesy and there was so much more depth to the story than I anticipated. It was in no way a direct retelling of the fairytale but I loved all the nods to Peter Pan, from the hook tattoo to Wendy’s storytelling to the thimble and Sam’s little red beanie. It was so sweet and whimsical and overall worked for me much more than I expected… I was definitely in the exact mood for this kind of book.
🫤Something I Would Have Changed: Y’all already know I hate the nickname “baby” so I guess that? But honestly it bothered me less in this book than most and was actually *at times* sort of endearing. Oh, I also must point out the numerous mentions of Jasper smelling like fish bait. Wendy was certainly into it and while I’m not yucking her yum, I did gag a little every time it was mentioned because it’s one of my least favorite smells. 🤣 #toeachtheirown
🥰Favorite Moment: I couldn’t possibly choose. Jasper and Wendy’s sailing date… when sweet six year old Sam comforts Jasper after a nightmare… any of the heartwarming moments between Jasper, Wendy, and Sam… the reconciliation… “three months later”… Whether they made me smile, laugh, or cry big fat tears, there were innumerable moments that touched me.
🌶️Spiciest Scene: Hmm probably when they are camping in chapter 33, “Yes, Captain.” Honestly though, there were a good number of spicy scenes and it was definitely steamier than I expected from a fairytale retelling so thank you Julie!
📚Standalone vs. Series: The 1st in @julieoliviaauthor’s #NeverHarbor series. Each book in the series focuses on one of the Davies siblings, with book 2, #OutWiththeTide, featuring one of Jasper’s younger brothers, Cassidy (out now), and book 3, #OnMidnightShores, following their younger sister, Bonnie (out April 17, 2025).
📖Would I Recommend: Absolutely. This book surprised me if I’m being honest. I didn’t expect to hate it or anything like that, but I also didn’t expect to be so into it, so moved by it. As a romance, it still followed the typical structure, but there was also just something MORE about it… from the found family aspect to the portrayal of grief, it was impeccably done and perfectly balanced with every lighthearted moment in between. It was so much more than I expected and I’m glad that the 2025 Reading Challenge I’m participating in forced me to finally take this one off my TBR. I didn’t know I needed a Hook and Wendy inspired romance in my life, but I guess I really did.

About the author
Never Harbor is my new home and Jasper my new love!
“I’m starting to believe Jasper saves his smiles for when they’ll be the most effective at melting my heart.” Oh my heart! This was such a wonderful read! Julie’s books just keep getting better and better! I have honestly loved everything by her and every single time I fall harder and harder for the characters and settings she has created. When Julie announced she would be writing a Peter Pan inspired series I was instantly sold. Peter Pan is one of my favorite Disney movies. I remember wanting to have Pixie dust and fly when I was a child. Now all I want is to settle myself in this cozy and homey town of Never Harbor that Julie has written and hang out with the crazy and oh so loving family that are the Davies. I loved all the Peter Pan parallels and references. Off the Hook follows adorable, sweet, and sunshiny Wendy Darling and serious, grumpy, but with a heart of gold Jasper Davies as they fall in love. The kicker? Jasper is Peter’s older brother, and Peter is Wendy’s ex-fiancé. Oh the angst, the pining, the sense of betrayal for wanting what’s “forbidden”. Wendy and Jasper were pure perfection. The way their relationship slowly grows was sweet torture. I love a good slow-burn. Off the Hook is also full of some excellent side characters. The Davies siblings have such a great relationship, they care and look out for each other so much and I truly enjoyed reading their crazy interactions. And Sam! Sam, Jasper’s adorable, fun-loving son - such a sweet cinnamon roll. Julie also gifted us with a reference to her Honeywood Park series which was fun to catch. If you haven’t read her Honeywood Park series I highly recommend it! I could honestly continue to gush over this book for forever, it was definitely the perfect way to start this new series and I am looking forward to the next installment. “I can feel myself already at the edge of a cliff, at the precipice of my cracked soul. Because, against my better judgment, I know what I want. I want her.” If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, and sometimes spicy Peter Pan inspired loves story, than I highly recommend Off the Hook. I promise you’ll fall in love with Never Harbor and ALL the Davies. *A huge thanks to Julie Olivia and Good Girls PR for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.*
