Sixteen-year-old Gemma Avery wakes up to a boy's hands around her throat. But this isn't why she screams--she screams because she doesn't know who she is.
The boy disappears but the nightmare doesn't. The ER doctor tells Gemma she has amnesia due to "psychological trauma", and she finds out she was the most popular girl at school, who smokes, drinks, and...bullies. But she can't imagine ever doing those things. The more Gemma learns about her old self, the more she questions if she was ever that person at all.

READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)Complete

At the same time they said his name,"Peter Pan".

But there's a deeper meaning to her journey, she learns that there are deeper secrets on Neverland.Complete
