When Push Comes to Shove by Bonita Fabian is a psychological thriller novel set in Miami, Florida. It is narrated from the point of view of its main protagonists, Eli, Haile, and Janna. The story begins by introducing us to Eli Selig, a successful real estate practitioner living with his sister Haile. Janna, an ambitious up-and-coming real estate broker, is interested in working for him. With a large client base and many repeat clients, she seems like an excellent addition to his network, but her aggressive nature puts Eli off. Setting his reservations aside, he hires her. What follows is a series of events that will explore the darker aspects of the human mind. Trying to outrun their demons for a long time, they will be forced to face them in the end.

Bonita Fabian's When Push Comes to Shove is a unique and interesting read. It has a provocative theme and a storyline that flows smoothly. It gives us time to process the minor details as we get to know the well-developed characters. And as we turn its pages, there is an unmistakable atmosphere of mystery and suspense. The author masterfully weaves the protagonists' lives together, amplifying the unfolding events. The narrative's twists and turns produce a powerful impression when they finally get to us. As the tension escalates constantly, it is challenging to learn the fates of the characters, and this makes the novel a very suspenseful read; the final twist is the most unexpected. Highly recommended!
