A review by truemoon
Collateral by Ellen Hopkins

3.0

I loved this while I was reading but about 3/4 of the way through I kept thinking that the author is taking too long to wrap up the story. I left this story feeling let down. After reading the last page I turned it to find a group discussion section. I had no clue the last page I read was the end if the book. This book gave no closure.
May contain spoilers
I felt this writing style lacked much needed details. I wanted to know more about her parents and their relationship. I wanted to know how her parent's responded to Cole at the end. What happened with Darian and Spencer? What happened at Cole's trial? How was he coping with what he did to Ashley and Jonah? I wanted more interaction between Jonah and Ashley.
I would recommend this book. I found it interesting to see how much circumstances can change someone.
