Decided to give it a try despite the plot being centered on pregnancy, and I'm very glad I did! Such a sweet, well-told, wholly believable love story.

(4.75/5🌟) I waited to review this one for a while because it deserves 5 stars but it just wasn’t quite a 5 star read for me. It was wholesome, funny, sweet, well-developed, emotional - literally all of the good things. It’s just missing something to send it over the edge. The thing that gives you the 5 star read feeling where you can’t stop thinking about the book after you finish it. I didn’t get that feeling, but it was still very very good.

Kindly check the TWs of Out on A Limb before reading. 

This is an absolutely hilarious adult romantic comedy about two strangers accidentally falling in love along the way of having a baby together. I am a sucker for the pregnancy trope and this was exactly what I needed. Bo and Winnie are one of the bestest, most adorable MCs i’ve read in contemporary romance this year. Helena Bonam-Young knows her way through a romcom and she’s managed to accentuate  longing and passion between two people who agreed to only be friends. Reading this felt so instrinsically intimate, and at the same time it delves into great physical disability rep, periods of grief, and traversed through emotional trauma, as well as recovery. Not only that, but this book is strongly all for women having full autonomy of their bodies and reproductive health and for that, I truly admire the writing. Furthermore, I’ve noticed this book has an uncanny ability to make a reader feel when everything finally falls into the right place at the right time. I could vouch for a number of books who feel like a Taylor Swift song and this was totally it! I wouldn’t mind a Bo in my life. My heart just felt so full as I read this. Despite the initial attraction between our two leads, there was no rushed romance but all fun and sweet moments.

Oh and the smut was chef’s kiss <3

P.S. I got slightly turned off after a brief mentioning of Velaris, which is a fictional place set in a popular book series written by a zionist.
