The Collective by Alison Gaylin

3.0

I found myself asking the main character “Why are you doing that??” multiple times in this book. It felt like she spent the first 90+% of the book not knowing what was going on and then she figured it out and it ended IMMEDIATELY afterwards. Like slowly putting a puzzle together but after placing the last piece someone swipes it off the table before you can even see the whole picture. I wanted to read about ‘The Collective’, not a new member blundering through doing grunt work no one cares about.
