A review by smpearce
When We Were Lost by Kevin Wignall

3.0

I read this book a little ago so I won’t go into as much detail here, but overall an easy, enjoyable enough read!

The book didn’t drag at all for me, and I found it a light, pleasant read. I thought the main character was intriguing, and there was a nice variety in the other characters’ personalities.

I was excited for a YA, book version of the show ‘Lost’ or something similar to Lord of the Flies, and while I thought the read was nice enough, I was a bit underwhelmed.

It was still gripping enough to keep me turning the pages, and I did find some of the characters interesting—I just wish there had been a bit more depth to them. I think there was good potential there for some interesting character dynamics, and overall I would have love to know and connect with the characters more.

I may have to have a reread at some point and edit this review with more detail, but I’d recommend checking this book out if you’re interested!
