I think "Spilt Milk" will resonate with many new mothers in heterosexual relationships, who found themselves complaining "that's not how it was supposed to look like". In this novel, Amy Beashel explores important issues of warped not-so-much partnership, unwanted pregnancy and social implications of talking openly about dissatisfaction of motherhood.

This is the reason why the narrative choice to make the first-person narrator address her daughter while telling the story is so interesting. "Spilt Milk" is about the decisions that often go against the social grain, but need to be made if women want to lead more potent lives.

Big applause of portraying non-monogamy in a nuanced and non-judgemental way, as well as realistic approach to the topic of difficult, medically-assisted pregnancy and its impact of one's perception of the world.

Possibly the most thought provoking book I’ve read this year (maybe ever.) Any provides a modern take on motherhood, family life and a woman’s right to choose. She explores topics in a wonderful writing style from her POV that gives a very intimate feel to the book. I know I’ll be thinking about this for years to come.

The premise was great but I just could not get into this book, It was an interesting read but there was just something missing that I cannot put my finger on it. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This was an enjoyable read with a compelling and strong storyline and well developed characters. It took me a while to get my brain to ignore the errors within the text but it didn't bother me as I knew they are proofs. I read this quickly and couldn't put it down.

There are so many typos in this galley I could not finish it. I know this is a proof, but I have never seen so many errors in one place. I will try to continue as it is a strong story, but it is difficult with all the typos.
