This was a very easy and enjoyable read, that I simply could not put down. The constant will they, won’t they between Ari and Mila doesn’t get old, and you can’t help but find yourself rooting for them from start to finish.

Hilarious and very lighthearted queer rom-com. Mila is a 34 year old high powered divorce attorney crushing ex-wives for the most powerful men in Washington. She is also pansexual, single, and living her best life with great friends and roommates and an amazing relationship with her mom. The book starts with her making a series of somewhat rash decisions that are 100% relatable, and then living with the consequences without regrets or self recrimination like an absolute boss.
It has been a while since I had a book that I couldn't put down, so I was happy and surprised when I felt that way about this one. The book is really more about Mila, than building angsty romance between Mila and Ari, but even die hard romance lovers need a break from dysfunction. The sense of humor and dialog had me busting out laughing, and even sharing scenes with friends.
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this title before publication. All opinions are my own, and I cannot wait to share the title with friends and recommend to patrons at my library!

I really enjoyed this read! The main characters were lovable and easy to root for as they navigate setting and maintaining healthy boundaries within their personal and professional relationships.

This was such a comedic and romantic read that had me actually laughing at loud frequently throughout the book. I also love the representation of found family as well as the diversity in family structures and it was a lovely change from the heteronormative romance that often dominates this genre. I hope to see more representation like this in the future and cannot wait to read more from Sarah Robinson!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this. Mila is a likeable character and You Can get onboard with her decision to become a mom despite being single. The theme of "you can choose your family" is strong in this book and it's good to see non cishet relationships and families in books.
Mila chooses to use a donor only to find out he is the brother of a reporter she's been avoiding but a reporter she finds highly attractive.
It's a great story of finding yourself and finding your family, no matter how unconventional they are

I thought this was a fun and enjoyable read. I liked the characters, and friends and family. I also enjoyed the witty one liners that she had through out. If you’re looking for a cute, humorous story that makes you feel good, I highly recommend Baby Bank.


Thank you NetGalley and Books by Sarah Robinson for allowing me to read this ARC in advance for my honest opinion.

I am so happy this book exists!
I was expecting to enjoy this, but I didn't expect to fall head over heels in love with the writing like this.
Baby Bank was funny, thought-provoking and as realistic as they come!
These are characters readers can connect to and fall in love with.
Sarah Robinson’s writing was absolutely incredible here and I can’t wait to read more of her books.

When DC lawyer in part-time comedian Mila decides to have a baby after a visit to the doctor her friend tells her about baby Bank an app where you can get free donations to help single in LGBTQ wanna be parents have a baby. During taco and margarita night her and her friends go through the list of potential fathers and they find one who they think is perfect his name is Aston Lee and he’s done it before and is willing to do it for Mila. He even has a Facebook group with those who have successfully used his services before and he comes with references including his mom. This isn’t the only thing on Mila‘s plate however she is trying to dodge a reporter who wants a comment about the public official she is repping in a divorce who has staunch opinions about women’s reproductive needs which is totally contradictory to the fact he got his mistress to have an abortion. she has successfully dodged the hot reporter but when she finds out the night of the “donation “that the reporter is the sister to Aston Lee she is amazed by this but this will not be her only run in with Ari and Aston will not be her only family member that Mila becomes acquainted with. From one crazy encounter to another this book is full of funny and heartwarming scenes that makes for one great romantic book. I can’t believe since I started reading romance stories outside of my preferred genre how the author can make someone who I wouldn’t feel attracted to seem so attractive to me and that is it exactly what happened in Baby Bank by Sarah Robinson. The way the author described airy, made me think that she did sound attractive not to mention the funny hilarious narrative that follows Milla and her attempt to have a baby. I loved Milla‘s mother and so many other characters in this book the author truly has great talent and I will definitely be reading her books in the future. This is a book I highly recommend it’s funny timely heartwarming and thought-provoking it includes everything you read books for. I received this book from NetGalley and Sarah Robinson but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Mila had a very demanding job as an lawyer. She was thirty five and single. She had a very close knit group of friends and a very supportive and loving mother. She also loved performing stand up comedy in her spare time. She had quite a busy life. But there was something missing…she wanted a baby. So with her supportive friends encouraging her, she downloaded the baby bank app and chose her sperm donor. It seemed simple enough, but it was more complicated and far more emotional than expected.

I enjoyed the different characters and everything they added to the story. Some of their interactions with the protagonists were quite funny. There were also many emotional and heartfelt moments that brought additional depth to the storyline such as in dealing with ethics, morality, and abortion.

Overall, this was a very entertaining read.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I read it in under 24 hours. The characters, both main and supporting, were written to be dynamic and likeable. The humor in the book was good. I liked the plot and storyline, it was unique as far as other wlw romance novels that I’ve read lately! I would definitely read other books from this author. My only critique is that the relationship between the main characters seemed a little rushed and underdeveloped. I wish the book was longer and gave us more time to see that relationship blossom!

I don’t want to finish this book, because the writing is too juvenile for me. The idea I had of this book was that it was literary fiction and would explore both queer relationships and queer parenting and late age motherhood. Instead I felt like I was reading a YA book about adults. I was also deceived because by the time I requested this book it didn’t have a cover on the website, but as soon as I saw it in the document, I cringed real hard.

In the modern world when you aren't in a relationship and you want a baby, what do you do? Of course, you use an app to find a donor. Baby Bank is a cute story about Mila and her journey to motherhood. It includes a colorful cast of friends and family members. It's a very, very slow burn between the MC's.

I really enjoyed this story. In fact, every story I have read by this author are terrific. This particular one is fun, enjoyable and makes a perfect afternoon read. Loved the characters, their story and how it was written. I laughed and fell in love with it all. If you haven’t given this a read you should certainly do so.

From the very first page, this book had me laughing, cringing, blushing, and aww'ing. It is a complete rollercoaster of an emotional journey as told through the eyes of Mila, a single woman, lawyer by day and dabbling in comedy hy night, who decides she's going to go it alone at motherhood. Her unspoken thoughts were as funny as they were relatable, and the triumphs and stumbling blocks made me want to celebrate and commiserate with her.

I’ll start by saying thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!
* I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*


This book is about a 34 year old woman whose biological clock is running out. It took a while for me to get into this book, but I did end up liking it. There were multiple moments in the book that had me laughing out loud, and I love when a book can do that! I love the women empowerment and the diversity of the book! 3.5 for me!

This was such a funny book with great representation!!

Chapter 6 was so funny!!!!

Can’t wait to read more from Sarah Robinson!

I loved the opening of this book ! It’s a cute funny book that gives you all the feels. Mila was such a cool character I really liked her. The idea of a baby app is so crazy but also clever and helpful.
I would recommend if you after a sweet love with a little fun

I was so excited for this book, but ultimately it was not for me,

There was a whole lot happening in this book. Between Mila's two jobs, Ari, her donor, her work-related ethical dilemma, and her decision to become pregnant, there was a lot that didn't really get the exploration it deserved. Ari had some really intense back story that felt like a side note. Her character didn't feel fully realized. Mila and Ari didn't have much build up in their relationship, and it didn't seem like there was much to root for there.

I really loved the idea of a book about a queer 34 year old deciding to get pregnant! But as a queer 34 year old on a fertility journey, this book felt so invalidating. Mila's path is straightforward in a way that maybe has occurred in the history of the world but is far from the norm. And I get it! It's a romance novel, it's not a guide to conception. But I wanted to put this out there, because I hadn't seen it mentioned in the reviews so far.

This book had such a neat premise, and I really wish I had enjoyed it.

Very grateful to NerGalley for the eARC.

A woman realizes she's in her thirties and decides to have a baby. She cuts costs by using a dating app style service for free sperm while simultaneously falling for the donor's sister, struggling with her job, and chasing her dreams of being a stand up comedienne.

The supporting characters are fun, and the ease to which the author moves through the plot made reading feel seamless as time passes in this world. It does require a bit of "just go with it" for the plot. Things happen fast, and decisions are made swiftly. That's not a bad thing, it just took me a bit to go with it. I wish the romance plot had a bit more room to grow. When they are together, Mila and Ari are romantic, sweet, and soft, but again, it felt very fast. That being said, I recognize that the story is focused on Mila growing into this new version of herself, and not just on the romance, the romance is a facet of her growth.

This was a really fun read, written in very enjoyable prose. Comedy is hard to write, and the stand ups were actually funny.

I absolutely adored this book the love story between Ari and Mila was so adorable, I am so happy with the run around of the romance between them instead of a straight off the bat romance.

I love the concept of having a "Baby Bank" app for those who want a family but don't want to spend a ton of money having to pay for a sperm donor and such. The way that you can do it anonymously is great and you can have the decision from either person, if you or the "father" want to be involved or not.

I loved that Aston has a Facebook group for all the mums and also a meet up I think that was a great way of him being involved but also not being involved in the child's life.

It was a very wholesome read.

I jumped on this because a) it’s pride month and b) my wife and I are currently trying to impregnate me via sperm donor. This is the first book I’ve come across that features a queer woman getting pregnant through insemination, so I was very excited.
The first several chapters were really great and very true to life (aside from there being absolutely no mention of ovulation timing, the bane of my existence). There’s also a really interesting subplot about a gross hypocritical politician trying to restrict abortion access. So I was enjoying that and all the getting-pregnant shenanigans and Mila’s friends and Aston, the donor, when basically all of that got shoved aside in favor of a very insta-lovey romance. At least one piece of marking called this enemies to lovers? It’s not. Look, I was excited about the synopsis of this book because I thought it was a really clever way to have the story be about having a baby but also falling in queer love at the same time. But it just felt like Mila immediately saw Ari as her potential co-mom and the other plot lines, which were more engaging, only popped in and out sporadically and the other characters all but vanished, aside from Mila’s mom, who gave me anxiety.
Anyway, there are some great points to this book, I just think they were overshadowed by a relationship that was hard for me to be invested in.
