The Push by Ashley Audrain

4.0

Listened to this in a day which is kind of unheard of for me. So it definitely grabbed my attention. Towards the end I started wondering if it would be an unreliable narrator and she was like the other women in their family and driven by paranoia or madness that made them hate their daughters. And then started wondering if it would be revealed that all the daughters were a little bit sociopathic who drove their mothers crazy. Or something. The ending was somewhat expected but felt satisfying in vindicating Blythe. That said given I was sitting there trying to come up with all these theories, I was a tiny bit disappointed it was just as it’s had led up to the entire book. All these twists in thrillers have ruined me. I guess I was expecting a little more to come from all the history and generational build up.
