The Push

At first, I was put off by the second person narration. However, as the story goes on and it swaps every now and then, it begins to make sense why the author chose this tense. It draws the reader in to the woman's feelings - it's especially compelling to note that we spend most of this book never knowing her name: she's just a girl who becomes a woman who becomes a wife who becomes a mother.

I'm not one for thrillers, so I actually spoiled the ending for myself before I read the book. I can honestly say it didn't lessen the emotional rollercoaster that this whole story takes you on. I found it nearly impossible to put down, even knowing how it ended. This is a great one.
