tdon25 's review for:

The Collective by Alison Gaylin
5.0

I read this in a single day because you just wanted to see how things would escalate and unravel. As a mother you would do ANYTHING to protect and save your child’s life but what about after they die. How far would you go to seek revenge in your grief? That is the premise of this book and it is such a great concept . Although Camille’s daughter has been gone for nearly 5 years , she cannot feel a sense of closure or peace while the boy who caused her daughter’s death is free and living a privileged lifestyle before her eyes. In the midst of her desperation she connects with a new support group for bereaved mothers whose children never got justice. However, after joining the support group odd things & outrageous asks begin to come her way and she has to make the decision of where exactly she feels a moral boundary .

Some parts may be slightly graphic for some readers as the authors writing is very vivid . This book will make you have goosebumps as you question your own moral boundaries and start to feel like someone is truly always watching you .
