This is probably my favourite book of the year. I am not one to read books with pregnancy in them but I decided to take a chance with this one and I am so glad I did. The communication in this book is crazy! This book was one of the few romance books where I didn’t think “this could all be fixed if they just talked…?” Which was very refreshing to see in a book. Despite the very strange situation Bo and Win were put in they were so respectful of each other! This book was a wonderful read from start to finish.

I ate this up!!! Oh my gosh I love a good romance with disability! Especially because I’m reading this while also watching all the Olympic couples, it feels so much warmer and fuzzier.
I appreciate the care and nuance that these disabilities were written with (ofc I expected nothing less because it’s Hannah), but I also felt like there were so many feelings and thoughts that I could relate to with my own disability.
Winni was strong and sensitive. Bo was sensitive and sexy but also nerdy (in the best way). Sarah and Caleb were really great friends and this all played together into a lovely read. I can’t wait to read Out of the Woods.

This is the perfect comfort romcom As a disabled nerd I grinned and laughed and felt so seen and with the couple!
Also interesting to read abozt someone elses reality, hookups, pregnancy and Kids would never be my happy end, but it is for them and I am so happy!
I felt like the author is a swiftie for sure reading this and then I saw the title of her next book, I will pick up all of her other work for sure! Can't recommend enough

Is this a six star romance?? 🥹 this book was incredible. I adored these characters and found their banter/humor hilarious. The chemistry was so good, even from the beginning! I loved seeing their relationship grow from co-parents with chemistry trying to be friends to loving and admiring each other so deeply. These characters were real, imperfect, but both such good people. I love everything about this book!

Wow... I think I'm okay after reading that book. I had to take a night to sit on my review but I'm still at a loss for words.
I have been putting off reading this book because I'm not the biggest fan of the "accidental pregnancy" trope. It's just generally not something I gravitate towards. But the way that this book portrays Win's pregnancy and her relationship with, not only Bo, but everyone around her is quite literally amazing. The pregnancy isn't always front and center, there's family dynamics, career goals, and individual trauma. It ebbed and flowed so perfectly. I was really worried that the book would slow down or lose traction after she told Bo about the pregnancy but it definitely didn't.
Win and Bo's love for each other is so pure and trusting. It really gives you hope for them as a couple. Their moments together were absolutely adorable. Bo is probably the best MMC I've encountered in a long time. Win... she is so realistic and refreshing. It's so nice to see that not everyone is on the path that they wanted by the time they're in their late 20s.
I would recommend this to people who know they like the 'accidental pregnancy' trope, but also to people who may not like that trope but want to try it anyways. This is a healthy representation of pregnancy in the non-traditional sense. Also to people who love: romance that's oh so sweet, disability rep., and a good cry.

Out On A Limb
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
“Our souls were tied a long time ago, I think. We’re just finally admitting it to each other.”
“You can’t change anything by hiding it. You’ll just look back on memories and realise you tried to erase yourself. And how sad that would be.”
“And I tell myself, over and over and over again, that I can do this. Until, eventually, I feel like it’s at least a little true.”
...........................................................
This book had a completely different vibe than I was expecting, but I was here for it! It gave me all the cozy and wholesome vibes, but don't let that fool you. There was a bit of spice too 😉.
As I generally go into a book blind or based on the vibes of the cover, I did not expect this to have the pregnancy trope. However, can I say, it completely worked for this book. I really appreciated the disability representation within the book as well. Hannah Bonam-Young took such a unique approach with this plot and these characters, and I feel like the journey these characters took was literally the sweetest.
Bo, Robbie, Robert, a man with three names (IYKYK 🤣) was literally friend/boyfriend goals. He was the king of devoted to and supportive of Win during this entire book. I mean what did he do wrong at any point? Literally NOTHING! My heart was continuously swooning over Bo.
Win was, of course, so strong and independent, and she had to be with what she went through in her life. However, I loved that we got to see her evolution of trusting others with her heart, especially Bo.
These two together were magic. Instant chemistry. And, I absolutely loved their banter, their nerdiness, and their sense of humor. I loved that the purpose of the book was not the pregnancy but the journey.
