Summary
Tune in for Arthur’s breakdown of The Push by debut author Ashley Audrain. Having been advertised as a psychological thriller, this much-hyped novel about chillingly dysfunctional mother-daughter dyads is actually much more of a psychological drama. But don’t think that diminishes any of the slow-burn shudders and anguish that you’re sure to experience over the course of the novel.
