To be fair, I shouldn't rate this at all, as I couldn't finish it. As in, sincerely could not stomach reading this enough to continue. I can't get past a 9 year old going to his mother's funeral. Couldn't do it. Not being the mother of sons close to that age. Sapphire is not known for light and breezy, and Push (Precious) was one of the most difficult and unrelentingly tragic things I have ever read. These are situations that need a voice, but at this point in my life, I just couldn't do it.

I love the style of writing of the book.
Somehow the last half of the book did not seem as strong.

Ok, not as good as I had hoped it would be. Harrowing without a doubt, but rambling and unclear as to what was really happening.

Maybe my expectations were a little to high going into reading the follow-up to Precious. In any case, this book couldn't hold a candle to the first book in this series.

The story was awful to read, and I wanted to put it down, but I felt like I had to finish.

I did not enjoy this book. I did not enjoy the content. I did not enjoy the style. I did not feel rewarded for suffering through it. I dig a linear story when I’m reading fiction, and this one had way too many gaps. I get that was part of the point, but it delved into too many unnecessary tangents that weren’t resolved. I only read it because it confused my best friend so much that she wanted someone to talk to about it. I usually take the time to write a thorough review, but this is one of those books I’d just as soon forget that I ever read.
