Can't make up my mind how I feel about this book so I'll go to the middle rating

I think it is written in a way that pulls you into Blythe's mindset about her daughter but yet it makes her out to be a cold hearted woman with a child she doesn't want then her son is born and that changes, the chapters that are about her own mother are what make you understand why she is the way she is

It's the middle of the book when the accident happens and from that point it's more of a pity party and that got old for me and I had a hard time finishing the book

Wow! What a thriller! Amazing that this is author's first novel. The Push loosely follows three generations of neurotic women who are not 'natural mothers' and subsequently their children suffer. Such an interesting psychological mystery.

Etta and Louis have daughter named Cecilia. She partners with Seb and has daughter named Blythe, who gives birth to Violet. The major part of novel focuses on Blythe, altho
there are several flashbacks so I had to write down mothers, fathers, and daughters to keep
everyones straight.

I'm hoping for a sequel.

Favorite line: I was focused on getting through the days as they rolled like boulders into one another.
