6/1/2023 0 Comments The push ashley audrain review![]() ![]() I loved the writing style – it’s first person from the protagonist’s point of view, but what set this out from the standard book is the way she continuously referenced ‘you’ – we know from the get-go that she is not referring to you as a reader, but it’s a small point which really pulls you in. There are excerpts from a previous time, which I enjoyed as that helped us get a rounded-view on what/why the characters were thinking, and how this impacted them, first-hand and second-hand. Some of the text really creeps up on you, embedded as if you’re on a rollercoaster. ![]() It’s a fairly messed-up book, and so horrifyingly realistic, which really got to me. I adore books which psychologically play on your mind, and this has to be up there in my ratings. ![]() The Push envelopes motherhood and mental health, giving you the real gritty details of how three generations have been affected by trauma. I can definitely see why this book has got a lot of praise. It’s raw and unexpected, and I had to take a breather on occasions as it became overwhelming at times. This isn’t an easy book to read, due to the dark content. Note: whilst I have kept my review spoiler-free, I have included some trigger warnings at the end of this post – these do provide spoilers. I can definitely see why this book has got a lot of praise ![]()
