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.

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!

omg what a couple of horny nerds!! in OUT ON A LIMB, we’re quickly introduced to our leading lovers, Win & Bo. there is an immediate chemistry between them, and i found myself just as wrapped up in falling for these two as they were in each other (and their high heat one night stand). 
 
Bo & Win’s story felt like one big HEA extended epilogue. when reading a romance, i always want a little more than just a few pages to tell me that they do, in fact, live happily ever after. i want to hear the mundanity of that after, to sit with the characters as they navigate life’s challenges, joys, and triumphs — and this book is just that! despite grappling with heavier material, i felt that bonam-young approached each topic with tenderness and grace. 
 
i’m absolutely going to be devouring the rest of bonam-young’s books — and i’m so excited for this series to be continued, with OUT OF THE WOODS, coming in 2025!

This is a lovely forgettable book. I normally tell my boyfriend what happened when I finish a book but all I knew was that I liked it and I could remember small bits but not all of it.  It had me laughing out loud, the smut was the right amount for this sort of book and there were so subjects that were quite hard hitting but handled in such a beautiful way.

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.
