‘Fresh, brave, sharp and timely. And very, very readable. I strongly recommend it.’David Shannon ‘A fabulous angry roar of a book. Heartfelt and honest. Taboo breaking. Is there such a thing as being too honest…? A fantastic book club read too.’ Liz Hyder, author of The Gifts ‘This may just be my new favourite novel. Bea is a fiercely relatable character who pulls back the curtain on the ways that modern motherhood changes you to the core. Difficult and beautiful, this story made me feel seen.’ Gemma Hartley, author of Fed Up ‘Spilt Milk is the real thing; a novel that embraces the brutal, glorious, hopeful, impossible truths of motherhood, marriage and friendship ’ Stella Duffy ‘Honest and beautifully written. Everyone should read it.’Louisa Reid ‘An absolute triumph. A story so real, so raw, and so beautifully told it gave me chills from the first page to the last.’Jessica Ryn ‘Powerful and kick-ass, ALL women need to read this.’ Elena Wilkes ‘Raw, honest and truthful…a moving exploration of what it is to be a woman, a mother, daughter, wife, sister, a friend in 2023.’Julie Ma
