This is by far my favorite HBY book. Out on a Limb was hilarious and made you fall in love with Bo.
I loved the disability representation. They mentioned and explained their limb differences and then the story went on. Their disabilities weren't the main topic of the story, it was just a part of their lives and I appreciated that.
There wasn't too much conflict, but I loved that. Sometimes you need an easy, fluffy romance to mend the soul. I normally don't like the accidental pregnancy trope, but their love and respect for each other made me love the story. I do wish authors would write about bringing the child home/how they navigate becoming new parents together. So many pregnancy trope books I've read only lead up to the pregnancy, only to have the baby at the end and in the epilogue fast forward a few years and now the child is a toddler.
Win and Bo's love was sweet and a joy to read them fall in love. We would all be so lucky to find a love like that, and to get spoiled by a hot man. And I personally wouldn't object any gift he wanted to buy me either😂😂
I will note - I hated their names. Bo and Win (Winifred) are not good or sexy names. Also the child's name, I did not find it to be gender neutral like they wanted but that might be due to the fact that I have a cousin with the same name and think of them.
