The Push by Ashley Audrain

5.0

---

I have been dying to read this debut novel by Ashley Audrain! Everywhere I turned it was all I was hearing about! I was having MAJOR FOMO!!! I knew I HAD to add it on in my @bookofthemonth box for February. Clearly by my rating, you can see it did NOT disappoint.

For me, Blythe was so relatable. I feel like she could be any woman. It angers me the stereotype that women have of being “emotional” and/or “crazy”. Sure, maybe we are, but WE get that. Am I right, ladies?

So I get Blythe. She comes from an abusive relationship with her mother. She worries that “will I be a good mom?” And honestly, we as woman worry about that CONSTANTLY! Then you have Fox.
