The first half of this book I was really enjoying, but then my interest started to wain.
First off the characters themselves were very well crafted. I love them and of course the representation was great. I enjoyed their development throughout the story. Also, surprised I didn’t mind the accidental pregnancy trope. I thought it was well done in this book.
With that being said, this story was “too happy” for me. I wanted drama I wanted the characters to struggle navigating through this change. It felt so unrealistic with how perfect everything turned out. From beginning to end, there were no problems/ the solutions were easy. It made the story feel unrealistic and a tad boring.
Lastly, there was a scene that I struggled to get through. The D and D scene. I was not impressed with how that scene played out. As a geek myself, I was kind of offended by it and felt like it didn’t really add anything with the story aside from meeting the Robert’s friends.
Overall, if you’re looking for a happy go lucky positive story with excellent representation, this one is for you!

My most favorite HBY by far!! Out on a Limb is an absolute treasure (arrrrr!). I know that this surprise pregnancy took the romance world by storm when it came out, and it's so deserved!! This book taught me more about loving others and what that looks like in any relationship.
Win, the fmc, has a limb difference like HBY. HBY shares her raw and honest thoughts in an author's note before the book and it makes the story that much more special. Win's journey to motherhood may not look like what we're used to in romance but it's important and necessary that it gets to take up space on shelves around the world. I love her so much! She's laugh-out-loud funny, compassionate, and the kind of character that I wish was real so I could have her in my life.
The people were right when they said Bo is the perfect book boyfriend. Ha! Everything he does proves just how much he loves Win. From splitting finances equitably, to constantly surprising her with not-so-wanted but necessary expensive gifts. He's a sweet man with a huge heart (and other things ;)). A romance that's all about being chosen by the person you love. I will be screaming about this from the rooftops for the remainder of my life. Everyone should read it!
