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.

It was a cute light read. I learned that the nice guy trope is absolutely not my thing. I much prefer the enemies to lovers banter or bad guy turns nicer. This seemed to easy and predictable and at times boring, it also went from pg13 to XX as far as spiciness real quick in the end. Was unexpected and I think the author was bold in her word choices that I was kinda surprised at that's not seen in other things I've read, not a bad thing but very trailblazing. My favorite line though I'm this book was I love you so much that It makes me think I've hated everything else in my life up to this point. Swoon worthy line. I would recommend. I would say this was not a waste of my time but it didn't make it to my all time favorite reads, and I'm not a fan of one night stand first trope either then fall in love but it was still cute. The characters seemed very young and native and inexperienced in life and relationships too. I prefer a little older.

I usually don’t like unexpected pregnancy tropes but this was done well. Also love the inclusion of different birth genetics and medical traumas. Really good read!!
