When We Were Lost by Kevin Wignall

This book was a lot of things- interesting, typical, frustrating, addicting, anticlimactic. I had good and okayish times with this book. I mean, in reality this book doesn’t really distinguish itself from other “lost in the wilderness” “Lord of the Flies” type books, but for some reason it still ended up being fun and somewhat thrilling to read. I really liked the dynamics of the group and the ways friendship and differing personalities were explored. I wanted Joel to kick bricks. I wanted something BIG to happen at the end and I didn’t get that. But I do think it was a nice change of pace for me— I’ve been reading mostly Adult Thrillers, so it was fun to get back into YA through an Adventure book.
