Wow. What an absolute compelling emotional rollercoaster of a novel. This is all women’s fears of whether they will love or grow to love their own child and how if they don’t, societies pressures on being a “good mum” can cause some women to develop a feeling of anxiety and depression and yes a feeling of apathy of their own child. This is book that really delves into this topic and brings out all mothers fears of whether a kid learns from being bad because of them or how they are brought up and by whom. Amazing and stunning.

This was such a powerful book! I couldn't stop reading when I started. It's very complex with its characters and so raw and real. It's shedding some light on different sides of motherhood which I loved.
It's very well written that it will definitely talk to your heart.

Thanks a lot to NG nad the publisher for this copy.

Compelling and incredible writing from Ashley Audrain in this book - you can see why 'The Push' has received the hype it has to date. A very clever blend of dark women's fiction and literary thriller, the story of Blythe, her mother and grandmother are woven together; the characters so nuanced and complex that the reader is immersed into their world. The story is bleak - there are no contrived happy endings here, and it left me emotionally drained - it's an excellent read.
