A review by mmseitz822
Collateral by Ellen Hopkins

5.0

I REALLY enjoyed this book. I liked how it was written in stanzas like a poem (poetry is a theme throughout the novel) but still reads like a book. The plot really kept me hooked - a young woman in love and dating a marine who is constantly deployed but trying to make the relationship work even though they are almost always apart. I really liked the main character, Ashley. I was happy with the ending though I can see why some readers wouldn't be. I won't say more than that for fear of spoiling it for future readers. Anyway, I love love stories and this is a good one! The author does a lot so readers can really feel the passion between Ashley and Cole. Check it out!
