Reviews with content warning for Pregnancy - Out On a Limb

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.

I really enjoyed this book.

It had two of the most underrated tropes, in my opinion, friends-to-lovers and the accindetal pregnacy. But it still felt like the book was way more than those tropes, which felt like a breath of fresh air to me, because lately I've read to many books where the author chooses the tropes they want to write instead of the actual story. But it wasn't the case in this book.

I liked both characters and I loved their romance and how it progressed. I also loved that it was a slow burn and that there was no third act break up!

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!
