Realities can be uncomfortable. 
Author Ashley Audrain @ashleyaudrain again takes readers past comfort zones in The Whispers, much like in her debut, The Push.
Thank you to @penguinrandomca and @netgalley for my eARC for review!
The Whispers explores womanhood, motherhood, and associated aspects that aren't often spoken of or acknowledged. 
We meet Blair, Whitney, Rebecca and Mara; neighbours by geography, but in many ways worlds apart.
This is a book heavy on character narrative. It takes place over one week, with some chapters telling of the past that made the women who they have become.
⚠️ Trigger warnings should be noted here, especially miscarriage, infidelity, child injury, and death. 
It's an intriguing, intense and specifically-paced read, and often not an easy one. 
It is distressing, the ways parents and children can break each other. Recommended.
For release on June 6.
