Pregnancy trope • Golden Retriever • One Night

Words from hubby - “ This story is so sweet it’s giving me a cavity” ☺️ coming from the back of Chloe Walsh’s Boys of Tommen series I think he was expecting something bad to happen to these two.

• Drama free
• Couples who communicate
• Refreshing diversity
• annoying but cute bff

Great little pick me up / comfort read if you’re after something sweet! I personally love a dual POV and that would have been perfection for me but honestly it’s not required too (that’s just my own 👌🏻).

Pregnancy troupe is one that I tend to avoid but I’m slowly coming around to it. Love the representation, the light humor and the communication between this newly navigating couple. It’s refreshing to get uncomplicated stories and characters.

My first book by Hannah Bonam-Young and I look forward to picking up her other books.

I absolutely hate the surprise pregnancy trope, so when I started this book and heard the warning from the author about pregnancy in the book, I almost put it aside. But Hannah Bonam-Young is amazing, so I gave it a chance and THIS is how you write a surprise pregnancy book!! Ugh, it was so good and the characters are lovely and so swoon worthy. I’m obsessed with Bo and his dad, maybe this should become a series and we could follow daddy Robert fining love in France. Just a suggestion…

My first thought when finishing this book, and many times while reading/listening to it, was “Wow.” My second thought was, “Do men like Bo actually exist?”

I will admit, I was beginning to think my hope for finding a romance book that I’d give 5 stars would never come, but this was it. I LOVE(D) this book and definitely recommend anyone wanting to read it to give it a chance.

I love the slow burn between Winn and Bo. I find myself relating to a lot of Winn’a internal struggles with fear and feeling stagnant and I love that she allows herself to grow and not only make room for Bo and her baby, but also herself. I too am making room for myself to fully flourish into who I want/need to be.

All the characters feel well rounded. I adore Winn’s relationship with Sarah just as much as I do with Winn’s relationship with Bo.

I love how they keep an honest and open communication style with each other, especially early on, talking about sexual health and birth control.

I LOVE how Bo is a good man, down to his core, with no ulterior motives. His kindness and generosity is something I hope to find in a partner myself.

I was cheering for them from start to finish, aching during their will they won’t they moments.

All in all this was a wonderful book, one I got from a booktok recs list. I’m not sure if the author has written any more stories but I’d eagerly pick them up if so.

While I tend to be very leery of books that are showered with immense praise, Out On A Limb proved to be a funny, realistic, refreshing, and sexy read. I enjoyed it thoroughly, as so many others before me. Pregnancy after a memorable one night stand? Not usually my trope of choice. However, OOAL is the kind of story that is so engaging and entertaining that you’ll potentially reconsider. I appreciated the on page discussions of reproductive choice, between Win and her doctor, Win and Sarah, and Win and Bo. Pregnancy is often inaccurately portrayed (from a physical perspective) in the romance genre, layered on top is the emotional weight of having to decide how to approach a potential co-parent. Your hormones are literally going haywire, your body is creating a whole other human, and you’re having to navigate a potential minefield of emotions! And to its credit, OOAL takes all of that into consideration and pulls it off with such intentional care. I loved that this book also had an own voices aspect to the disability rep. It is thoughtful and never comes across as ableist “inspiration p*rn.” The fact that Win has to comes to term with her own internalized ableism and natural concerns about the baby’s health was so relatable, and speaks to the deep seated concerns that many women feel but don’t often voice during their pregnancies.

And yes. Bo is absolutely as wonderful, emotionally vulnerable, caring, funny, and nerdy as you’d expect from a picture perfect book boyfriend.

Omg I’ve never read a more wholesome book. Zero miscommunication. Bo is total book boyfriend material. There are no breakups.. just building a good vibes.

You need fluff! This is where you get fluff but with real shit. I cried when learning about Bo’s mother.. learning about both there paths just pulled the story together. If you like Abby Jimenez.. you’ll love this read!
