The Push by Ashley Audrain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book messed with my head. I know that was the point, but wow. It was such a different read. I started it and just couldn’t figure out where it was going. I couldn’t connect with the character and felt lost as to why others thought it was so powerful.
And then it started getting under my skin. The grief, the loneliness, the underhanded neglect and dismissal. The cruelty. I couldn’t stop reading. I couldn’t stop feeling. It was strong enough that I felt like I had to numb myself from how this book was making me feel.
And the ending. that ending.
In the end, it wasn’t about the mystery. Of course not. I will remember the way this book made me feel for quite some time.
