A review by eralbesu
Out On a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young

emotional lighthearted medium-paced

2.5

This was a bit of a drag to get through. I don’t know how I managed to hear so much about this book but still not know that this entire storyline was predicated on a surprise pregnancy. That’s not a trope or theme that I enjoy. 

Aside from that, the book seemed extremely run of the mill and mediocre. It also felt very cheesy. The fmc could’ve been any fmc from just about any contemporary romance with the addition of having a congenital limb difference. The mmc was also run of the mill with the addition of having an acquired limb difference. The tension of the “will they? won’t they?” was weak. 

Unfortunately, I didn’t even enjoy the side characters. I was holding out hope for much of the story but my patience was growing thin by the time I reached the point where the fmc kept getting upset at the rich mmc buying things for the home and the baby. It started to feel ridiculous to me. That’s another trope I don’t enjoy in contemporary romance: poor woman lives with rich man but wants to prove she’s not in it for the money so she denies purchases/gifts that are absolutely necessary. 

So, no, I didn’t enjoy.
