Push
The book Push is about a girl named Precious who faces a lot of troubles in her younger years involving her parents and school. Precious does not have any friends and her mother beats her. Her father rapes her almost every night. She goes to a special school and ends up getting transferred to a different school because she is pregnant. This is where I have left off in the story. I feel like the book at sometimes is hard to understand because the way she talks and the way that the book is written. It can be hard to stay with at times also because she goes in and out of a lot of detail about certain happenings in her life. There are some parts of the story that I feel are not necessary to have in there. For example when Precious gets to the new school she describes who everyone is in a lot of detail and she also talks about some of the exact conversations that people had. I feel like they are unnecessary but the explanations might be helpful later in the book.
