The push oh my gosh. WHAT A FANATSTIC DEBUT NOVEL. I didn't realize how much I like family drama's until after reading this. Now if you're expecting a thriller and this huge plot twist maybe just ease those expectation's a bit. The story doesn't have this unbelievable plot twist. However it is quite unbelievable. The story follows three generations of women who are ill-treated/abused by their mothers and they in turn become less than ideal mothers. However the bulk of the book centers around latest generation mom, Blythe, and her daughter, Violet, and son, Sam. Without giving away too much, Blythe hates one child but adores the other. This dysfunctional family dynamics creates constant tension between husband and wife, parents and children. The consequences result in either violence or tiptoeing around unspoken words. Couple other things I’d like to mention are the mothers constantly guessing and second-guessing themselves in everything and there’s disturbing and sometimes sick behavior. Secondly, the author leaves a few cliffhangers throughout the book, you have to make your own conclusion of things. All this is to say that this book is a work of genius and very remarkable for a debut author. I love this book but also hate the disturbing content. I read horror so I’m not easily triggered but I had to take couple of breaks with this book because of its realism. While I will be thinking of this book for a long time, I would advise anyone to please proceed with caution reading this book especially if you’re pregnant or a new mother.
