Why read it?
1 author picked I Am Not Your Baby Mother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As Spilt Milk’s protagonist Bea Straw is a mum-blogger, I was keen to read experiences of real-life “mummy influencers”. Braithwaite’s book – part memoir, part manifesto – was of particular interest because she is Black, somewhat of a rarity in the picture of motherhood painted by social media that tends to be both very white and very middle class.

From Amy's list on modern motherhood.
