Out on a Limb: A Novel

A hot one-night stand—and an unexpected pregnancy—lead a young woman to someone she can depend on, from the viral TikTok author of Next of Kin and Next to You.

“A beautiful love story, full of joy from beginning to end!”—New York Times bestselling author Sarah Adams


AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Winnifred “Win” McNulty has always been wildly independent and not one to be coddled for her limb difference. Win has spent most of her life trying to prove that she can do it all on her own. With some minor adjustments, she’s done just fine.

Hooking up at a costume party with the incredibly charming Bo changes everything. Win finds herself pregnant—and decides to keep the baby. While Bo is surprisingly elated to step up to the plate, Win is unsure of whether she can handle this new challenge.

Together, Win and Bo decide to get to know one another as friends and nothing more while they embark on this parenting journey together. But, as they both should know by now, life rarely goes according to plan.

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!!

I CANNOT sing enough praises for this book! It was so much better than expected. I loved the connections between the characters and the complexity of their individual issues. The author does such a wonderful job of sucking you into their drama and making you feel their emotional turmoil. I wish I could read this again for the first time.
