The Push

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Thoughts:  I could not put this book down I had to see what would happen next and the short chapters make it an easy read. The story itself was Verity level of omg did that really just happen and definitely not for everyone as a disclaimer. There’s a cliff hanger ending but you also get more context about the beginning and I was almost tempted to go back and read those first chapters again. 

Summary: Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of motherhood’s exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter—she doesn’t behave like most children do. Or is it all in Blythe’s head? Her husband, Fox, says she’s imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Then their son Sam is born—and with him, Blythe has the blissful connection she’d always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth.
