I find the book to be enjoyable. It was thrilling and fascinating, and I enjoyed reading it. Though slightly poorly executed, the idea and plot were excellent. There were parts that were unnecessary and felt hollow, and the writing lacked any real eerie feeling. It's written in a more direct and concise manner. The main character's friendships with her friends and her love interest are shallow. But other from that, I thought the novel was entertaining to read.

I feel like Wilder Girls is being done a disservice by being marketed as Lord of the Flies but with girls. Both books involve one gender of schoolchildren being stuck on an island, but the similarities stop there. And speaking as someone who hated Lord of the Flies: thank god that they do. 

Wilder Girls was a truly exciting read -- the plot kept me hooked the entire way through, and the characters were interesting and engaging. I thought the world-building was interesting and the different twists were essential in continuously raising stakes throughout the book. I think my only complaint is that

the ending does feel a bit underwhelming. It sort of leaves the book open to a sequel, but not enough so that I felt it was a good ending. It reads more like the author just didn't know how to end the book so it was left ambiguous.

But besides that, I still thoroughly enjoyed Wilder Girls, and it definitely defied my expectations in a good way.
