This book is so intensely personal to me. I've got a very similar disability to both Win and the author, and this was such a beautiful gorgeous read. Picture me crying on both my break and on the bus home.

This book was so gorgeously written, like all Hannah Bonam-Young books. The relationship between Win and Bo, at first so quick and then so slow, was a wonderful ride. Heartfelt characters, thoughtful conversations, and one of the best books I've read this year.

I received this book as an arc and it was sooo good so I gave it 4.25 stars. I loved the representation in this book and I loved how cute the book was. I'm normally not a fan of the pregnancy trope but I loved it in this book, and I love how well written it was. The MC's grew on me so much, and I love how the MMC immediately stepped up to help the FMC with her pregnancy.

Hannah is an incredible author. I have read and loved her previous books; she puts so much heart and soul in to them and it makes for such an enjoyable read. Out on a Limb was no different. I absolutely adored Win and Bo - their story was so beautiful and I never wanted it to end.

Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author.

I loved this book! I wasn’t sure on the accidental pregnancy trope at first, but I fell in love with Win and Bo and couldn’t stop reading. Their story was beautifully written. Also enjoyed reading about Win’s best friend Sarah and her husband. Can’t wait to read more from Hannah Bonam-Young.

I went into this book blind and I’m so glad I did! I would normally avoid books with these tropes because they’re just not my favourite… but I loved this! It was such a nice, comforting read. It’s truly one of those books that gives you so much hope and reassurance for life, love and the future. Win and Bo are proof that no matter where you are in life or how you’re coping, it will get better and there is a happily ever after… and more importantly, that it can (and probably will) happen when you least expect it. So many good feels from this romance and I think it was exactly what I needed right now.

This is one of the most beautiful books I have read in this entire year!

I have so many emotions to handle and will come back to continue with this review

Thank you for this heart warming story!

I adored this book so much - I never wanted it to end! The amount of love poured into this story made my heart hurt in the best way.

Whilst I usually shy away from an accidental pregnancy, I was intrigued by ‘Out on a Limb’ and I’m so glad I read it. Win and Bo’s story is magical. Both characters show such a strong range of emotion and a deep sense of caring for those in their lives. There’s also a whole host of incredible side characters to fall in love.

I could’ve honestly read a thousand more pages of this story. It was so beautifully written. This won’t be my last Hannah Bonam-Young.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Bedford Publishers.

I loved the romance. It had such a wholesome vibe. I appreciated the disability rep as a person with a disability it gives me hope of love. The only downside was the accidental pregnancy trope since it’s not my thing. On the whole though i enjoyed it.

This book is a masterpiece!

Hannah Bonam-Young wrote this book with her whole heart and you can feel it.

Bo & Win were such a wonderful pairing and their banter was perfection! The disability representation felt so authentic and real, and I applaud HBY for handling it so beautifully, especially some of the difficult moments around the pregnancy.

For those worried about reading this book because it contains the pregnancy trope, I need to say that I am the biggest pregnancy trope hater. But this book is so much more than that and I just need you to give it a chance.

What an absolutely heartwarming and beautiful gem of a book this was. I adored Win & Bo, they were well rounded and interesting characters that were nothing short of lovely to read about. Their romance and chemistry was off the charts and I adored their softer moments. The plot of this book is something I usually wouldn’t reach for, especially with the accidental pregnancy, but it worked so well. The focus was on their love and their lives and I felt so involved. I also really liked the disability aspect and the care and respect Bonam-Young handled these sensitive situations with. Truthfully I was swooning at my desk reading this, what a perfect little romance.

Such a warm cosy read! Out on a limb was the perfect combination of hilarious characters and great story telling. Good amount of spice throughout as well.

Win and Bo communicate amazingly with one another and have great chemistry! A perfect little comfort read with a well done accidental pregnancy trope.

Summary

Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

Spicy rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 3/5

Fluff rating: 💖💖💖💖💖 5/5

Reading this felt like being wrapped in the warmest fluffiest blanket whilst a cat purrs in your lap and you’re drinking a s’mores hot chocolate.

It was a beautifully character driven story and I loved both Win and Bo immensely. Bo is the ultimate green flag (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fictional men written by women hit different!) it was low stakes and low angst so perfect for when you need a warm comfort read. The characters were relatable and believable including the bestie relationships between Win and Sarah which was perfectly written in my opinion.

I wasn’t expecting to laugh as much as I did! The humor was right up my street and well placed and honestly made me think me and Hannah Bonam Young need to be best friends now.

The disability representation was well done and insightful. As was the depiction of the post bad relationship break up rebuild and how it continually affects the choices you make. The guy who comes after the one who hurt and broke you has the hardest job but the biggest reward and Bo was perfect for the job.

My only changes would be that the ending felt a little rushed (I really wanted to read about the birth 😭) and I would’ve loved a bit in Bo’s POV (even just the epilogue).

If you need a fluffy comfort read to cheer you up with a dash of spice on the side then this is for you. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

“Out on a Limb” was the perfect cosy romance to read when you want a lazy day wrapped up in blankets, with a feel-good book! It was the perfect balance of hilarious characters and poignant storytelling with such a swoon-worthy romance. I loved both Win and Bo from the get-go— Bo is just everything that perfect book boyfriends are made of while Win was so charming and wonderful. She was so easy to root for and I really enjoyed her single POV, she was engaging and funny enough to not need Bo’s POV. And I’m always a sucker for a surprise pregnancy romance, and this just had all the perfect ingredients to make it the type of book you devour in one sitting.

Also, shoutout to the gorgeous cover!!

Out on a Limb is an absolute delight, offering a refreshing departure from typical romantic narratives filled with conflict. The story follows Win and Bo, two endearing characters who have meet-cute at a party and embark on an unexpected journey when a one-night stand results in a pregnancy. Instead of the anticipated drama, the narrative focuses on their evolving relationship as co-parents and roommates, showcasing their genuine connection and the challenges they face while getting to know each other. The characters are brilliantly crafted, multi-dimensional, and instantly lovable, adding depth to the heartwarming tale.

This charming romcom not only captivates with its feel-good storyline but also offers some spicier scenes for those seeking a bit more excitement. The author excels in creating heartwarming stories brimming with warmth and unforgettable characters, with Win and Bo being prime examples. The narrative is sprinkled with beloved tropes such as surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and an adorable golden retriever, making it a delightful read for fans of the genre. Overall, Out on a Limb is a must-read for anyone looking for a sweet and uplifting story that stands out from the crowd.

I received an ARC copy of this book for free from netgalley and I’m writing this review voluntarily based on my own opinion.
