I'd classify it as AU Edward & Bella. Probably went as Iz, and the nickname was Bell instead. Made me lol in the epilogue when one of the kids was named Charlie.
Bff is Alice, with her Jasper of course.
Their parents were fun to read, and so Carlisle & Renee coded.
Cute story, I picked it because it has the surprise pregnancy trope, and it was cute. I appreciate the first dr appointment being pro choice through & through.

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!

I absolutely loved this book. The characters felt real, they were funny and honest and dealt with what was going on in a way that felt realistic for them when you learned their backstories. The development of their relationship was so natural and it really felt like they belonged to each other and with each other in such a healthy way. They communicated so well and so honestly, even when it was tricky. They wanted the best for each other and encouraged and supported each others goals. I just loved them and how they interacted, they had great banter back and forth while still being caring and kind and pretty selfless. The writing of Win and Bo was just fantastic, it really was integral to the story and got me fully invested in them.
Hannah Bonam-Young has a great writing style, it makes the story easy to follow and lovely to read.
Also the epilogue of this story was absolutely perfect for the characters.

This book is fantastic! Honestly criminal of me to have waited this long before reading it. I absolutely loved Win and Bo. They are just two of the most tender and sweet souls who clearly were meant to find each other. They find such small (and big) ways to support each other and show they care. Bo is so honest and vulnerable it hurts. He equal parts makes me want to wrap him up in a hug and have him take care of me. Win is so strong I appreciate her evolution throughout the story. I can’t even be mad that this book wasn’t dual POV because I think Bo’s would’ve made me spontaneously combust. Honorable mention to Sarah, may we all be lucky to have a friend like her. Also, it needs to be said this book offers up excellent banter you will laugh out loud and some quality spicy scenes. This book is an absolutely must read!
