Book Review of The Push

The Push
reviewed on + 279 more book reviews


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.
