Out on a Limb: A Novel

I LOVED this book.
This is a true heart-warming, good-natured romance.
So if you like drama/spice, you’ll probably think it’s a tad boring. Or slow. There’s no grand conflict.
Bo and Win were absolutely adorable to me. Both struggle with their disabilities in different ways throughout the book but I think their banter and wittiness was top notch.
I think this is the perfect book when you just need a break from the classic tropes of romance, you don’t want a dark romance and you don’t want an enemies to lovers book.
They fall in love due to their unusual circumstances.
I love when ordinary people
make their life extraordinary just cause love. It just works for me.
Probably my fave romance of the year.

What a wonderful story about two people who haven't had luck in previous relationships come together for a surprise pregnancy. A one-night stand results in Win (FMC) getting pregnant. She tells Bo (MMC) and the two start to come together and figure things out. Win moves in with Bo after realizing she most likely could support her and her baby, but when Bo shows up with open arms telling her to move in, she does. As the two live together and learn about each other, they start to fall deeply in love. It's such a heartwarming story. There is some spice, but the story is more about them meeting and going through stuff to find each other. Sarah and Caleb are their best friends and provide comic relief. Really enjoyed this book.

It all started at a Halloween house party when Winnifred–Win–“got knocked up by a pirate” and “left with a very expensive, lifelong party favour.” Win finds herself pregnant with “an accidental baby for an intentionally independent life,” all she can think about is “all the expressions there are just for moms. ‘She's going to have her hands full!’ Or ‘you're going to need an extra set of hands!’...It's intimidating. There are a lot of things I can barely do for myself, let alone for someone else.”--especially since Win was born with a limb difference. “You'd be amazed what you can do with one-and-a-half hands and a bull-like stubbornness.” But is she prepared to tackle motherhood single-handed? Her baby daddy “Bo is a hottie with nice clothes, baby-news happy tears, a great sense of humour, a good job, and a house of his own”--as well as a prosthetic leg. “Maybe what we lack in limbs, we make up for in enthusiasm and wits…Two people leaving behind the worst, looking forward to the good to come.” But are they both ready to leave everything behind and dance into the future “To the sound of nothing but each other's withering restraint. Accepting that this is the best thing that could have happened to us. To get us out of our own personal dark spots. To give us purpose. To find each other. Because even though we aren't together, I can no longer imagine a version of my life without Bo in it. Bo is simply lovely. Plain and true and all-encompassing.” “This book is a lot more than a one-night stand turned baby. It's about learning to let someone see the messy, needier parts of you. It's learning to be loved well as you are and accept help. It's about challenging expectations and overcoming obstacles. It's disabled joy.” And a tribute to “folks of all shapes, sizes, abilities, and understandings” worthy and deserving of love, too. I hope you love Bo and Win as much as I did! Hannah Bonham-Young’s Out on a Limb is out of this world!

I thought this was such a cute read, a great palate cleanser. Good banter and pretty witty at times. I was rooting for these characters

Surprise pregnancy is not my favorite trope, but this story was executed so well!! Bo and Win were lovable and relatable! I loved their story so much! They both embraced their disabilities which was so refreshing!! Their humor and banter was amazing!!!
Rating 4 stars because we only got the Win’s POV, I would have loved reading Bo’s thoughts…he was so very lovable!!
I believe this the author’s second book! I will definitely read her first book, Next of Kin and am looking forward to future books!!
