The Whispers, much like The Push by Ashley Audrain is a page turner from the start. Unlike The Push, The Whispers did not quite live up to the hype in my opinion.
The novel is marketed as a thriller but felt more like a drama, filled with many unlikeable characters. I don't think books need to have likeable characters but I found it interesting that Goodreads had this line in the description, "...and what is lost when good people make unconscionable choices," because I can honestly only think of maybe two characters who I would consider to be "good people."
The book seemed to focus more on female relationships, envy, desire, and reflecting on ones life choices.
I don't have that much to say, I found this book a let down after The Push. The best part in my opinion, was the last line of the book, I actually cheered (not because it was the last line, but because of what was said.)
