Wow. This book is an amazing exploration of motherhood and generational trauma. This embodies everything I fear about parenting and pregnancy and failing your children, in a horrific thrilling package. Read this in a single sitting because I had to know what happened and struggle right beside the main character through her devastating life. Amazing.

Intense, chilling, and psychological, The Push is one book I could get out of my head for a while!! <Spoiler>Not sure if this is really a spoiler to say but I'll tag it just in case! Fans of The Good Son will very likely love this book!

Wow, this was dark, painful, and tense. The different feelings in motherhood and the struggles that are faced. This book was a quick read, and the flashbacks really had my attention. About 50% through the book, I started to hate where things were going. However, I was really satisfied with the ending. A very complex look at sanity, raising a child, and marriage.
