I have literally no critiques. This book is perfection. The representation, the romance, the plot, the feels—perfection! This was my first book by Hannah Bonam-Young, and it won't be the last! Out on a Limb follows Win and Bo and their life together after a one night stand results in a pregnancy. The way the author treats the pregnancy and Win's opinions and thoughts is so great and there were definitely things I could relate to as someone who's experienced pregnancy. And Bo! Bo is so amazing and so tender. His story is so special. I loved it. Every bit of it. The story, the romance, the spicy bits—it was just so good! There's an authors note at the front of the book that discusses some of the themes so please check that out or dm me for trigger warnings. Out on a Limb is an adult romance, 18+ for themes and content
If you read one accidental pregnancy book in your life, make it this one. It was so artfully done, it was real and gave me hope.
One of the best book of 2023 for me.
This is a very sweet book about finding love at unexpected and challenging times, finding the courage to trust again and leap for a chance at happiness.
It has several bits that are well loved on contemporary romances:
- Disability representation (FMC and MMC)
- MMC is a tall and nerd cinnamon role
- Found family
- Forced proximity
- Spice and praise
I've found the beginning and middle of the story very strong.
My favorite parts were the interactions between Win and Bo and I wished we had more of them. I believe it would have benefited the story, as it could have shown a bit more pinning from Bo.
“I'm not sure how to pace myself here. How to slow down so you can catch up,” he whispers.
The story has a lot of internal discussions and dialogue which, due to Win insecurities, made me loose a bit of interest along the way, hence the rating.

AHHHH una de mis mejores lecturas de este año sin lugar a duda, vaya libro tan bonito, con una historia súper tierna y realista.
Estos dos protagonistas se merecen el mundo entero y me alegra que por lo menos, en la ficción, se hayan encontrado para que sean felices para siempre♥️
He llorado, he reído y he disfrutado muchísimo leyendo la historia de superación que tienen estos dos
