![]() ![]() But after giving birth to her daughter Violet, Blythe struggles as new mother. When Blythe meets the husband of her dreams she’s excited to marry him and rewrite her dark past. Still, it’s a book that deserves the praise it’s receiving because it is shocking, provocative, and well-written. I wish it had content warnings the way Daniil & Vanya did, because although I had steeled myself for what was to come next, not everyone will have their eyes wide open the way I did. ![]() You may recall I reviewed a book that dealt with some dark subject matter a few weeks ago, and I was warned that The Push was a slightly lighter version of Daniil & Vanya, so I prepared myself for yet another roller coaster ride of emotions centered on the difficult lessons of parenthood. I couldn’t help myself, I HAD to read this season’s buzziest book, The Push by Ashley Audrain. ![]()
