The Push




4/5

First off, I would say, if you are expecting or new parents, this may not be the book for you to read right now.
"A mother's heart breaks a million ways in her lifetime"

Wow, This book went there. I liked that is was not a typical ending and life is not always a happily ever after that you expect. It also asks the age old question of nature vs nurture. I also was expecting something different then what was delivered and I truly questioned a few things. It made me think, it made me wonder, and most of all it made me grateful.

I did ask myself a couple of times why she did not punish, get help for Violet after some very troubling incidents. I would have gone against my husband but then we see Blythe's past and childhood. It was like a vicious cycle, but one that was again questions the nature vs nurture.

I like this story, and it made me see things in a new light
