The Push is a tour de force you will read in a sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.

Ive heard a lot of good about this book, and after reading this book I needed to be honest and say that it didn’t live up to my expectations.

This book is a kind of psychological thriller, and defiantly is uncomfortable to read at times but in my opinion that’s what made this book fun to read. Because it’s disturbing at times.

There are a lot of books with the same premise that the daughter is a monster but the way the author presents the story to us makes it unique. Because we are stuck with thinking about if the daughter is truly a monster or if its the mother who doesn’t love her daughter and thinking of her as an insane psychopath.

The writing style was pretty easy in this book, but at the same time it made this book so much easier and faster to read. Which really went well with this book. 

The majority of this book was very interesting and mysterious but the last 10% of this book really went downhill and pretty much destroyed the book for me personally.

The characters here are more or less okay. They seem flat most of the time, but there are times when they feel like real human beings. The characters here get some good moments here and there throughout the book, but these moments were really rare.

The dad in this book is too love blind towards his daughter and completely denies that there might be something wrong with his daughter even thou many people tells him that something might be wrong with her. This fact really made me angry and frustrated because we get a lot of events involving the daughter which makes it clear that she isn’t a normal child with normal child behaviour.  

This book has a good premise but the way it ended just ruined the entire book. Because we spend the entire book thinking if the daughter is a psychopath or if it just the mother who is overdramatising everything her daughter does. And the ending just pretty much summarises the whole book that the daughter is a psychopath and the mother is a overdramatising queen.

Once you have around 80 pages left of this book, the ending becomes very predictable and really leaves you annoyed, frustrated and unsatisfied.

And the ending really felt like you read this book a million times before. Due to its shitty thriller ending and how it surprised the plot of this entire book in one line. Which really made me want to throw this book against a wall or burn it.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
