Well, I've finally picked my jaw off the floor, and I'm ready to talk about my latest read.  THIS BOOK, you guys... I could not look away.  Forget trying to put it down to get anything done.  I was completely sucked in.  Was it disturbing?  Yes.  Unsettling?  Yes.  But it gave me all the feels...sorrow, anger, fear, dread...it was a gut punch to my emotions in the best of ways.  


Digging a little deeper into this story reveals that it's not all drama and no depth.  There is a generational struggle with mental health within these pages, and it's a topic I felt was handled gracefully. In addition, there are some very relatable glimpses into motherhood - the exhaustion, the busyness, the worry, those niggling doubts of whether or not you measure up.  


I've heard The Push compared often to Verity, and I am always a bit skeptical when I hear people make comparisons, but I felt like this one hit the nail on the head.  It's so early in the year, I know, but I keep thinking that this is going to be a hard thriller to beat. All that hype?  Well deserved, in my opinion.
