Out on a Limb book review

Earlier this year I read both Next of Kin and Next to You and loved them both so I knew that once this was rereleased I would need to read it as soon as possible. My library got the ebook on release day so I immediately got it out and binged the entire book within 24 hours and I’m so glad I did, along with it being my first HBY 5 star.

Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young follows Win who after a one night stand has discovered she is pregnant and now with Bo, who she is remaining strictly friends with, she is embarking on this new journey with almost unavoidable chemistry.

Throughout the story we follow both Bo and Win as they face and tackle their fears about becoming parents which in many ways feel like more of the focus than the actual pregnancy was, which may appeal for even those who don’t like the accidental pregnancy trope. I really liked learning about Win as the book went on and who she was as a person because she was a character who I found I loved and wanted to support. I also really liked meeting Bo and learning who he was and why he behaved how he did. I also found myself really liking our side characters of Sarah and Caleb whose book I cannot wait to read next year.

I really enjoyed the story and am so happy to have finally read it. The romance was fantastic and had me desperate to keep reading to see how everything would end up for Bo and Win by the end of the book. I also enjoyed seeing the characters come together and learn each other and how they could work together with both of their strengths and weaknesses. It was also nice to see how both Bo and Win were impacted by their disabilities and how they made it work for them.

I highly recommend this romance book and it was such an easy 5 star read. I am loving all of Hannah Bonam-Young’s books and cannot wait to get to read my next one whenever that may be. These are such fun romances that I cannot put down and have me loving the characters so so much.

The Tanglewood Bookshop book review

This was my first Christmas read of the Year and it was a great one to kick off with. Once I was hooked I couldn't stop reading and ending up binging almost 200 pages in one day. I loved so many of the characters and the setting was so cosy, and ideal for a book lover. The Tanglewood Bookshop follows Kazz who on the same day learns she has lost her job, is being evicted and her mum is moving to Spain so she decides to visit her best friend who owns a Tea Shop in the small Welsh village of Tanglewood. Where she is given the chance to open a Bookshop and meets Saul who is happy to show her around but she has been told doesn't have the best reputation. This was a fantastic cosy Christmas read and it included so many things I love about festive books. The characters were the ideal book lovers to follow and as a book lover reading about book lovers is always a great experience. It was also nice that compared to many other book lovers whose lives revolve around books (which...

Make My Wish Come True book review

I have been a massive Rachael Lippincott fan for almost 4 years and always get so excited when she announces a new YA book. I was especially excited when she announced this one as it is a festive romance and I am also a festive romance lover. This was a book I read throughout December and absolutely loved doing so. The romance was brilliant and included all the festive feels which I always look for in a festive book but isn’t always delivered on. Make My Wish Come True follows Arden, a teen actor, who is determined to get a role so with her publicist lies that she is dating her childhood best friend, Caroline, who agrees to play along and write an article about their twelve holiday dates. However, as they begin spending time together again, old feelings begin to resurface. Even while I read less and less YA romance as the years go by, Rachael Lippincott (and Alyson Derrick now) is an author I can always trust to deliver on the romance in a way that I enjoy and a...

The Coast is Clear book review

The Coast is Clear follows Izzy, a 26 year old widow with two young boys, who is ready for a new start so moves to live near her brother Luke. With Luke's help she finds the ideal house for her and her young boys, the owner, Zander, being her brother best friend and she finds that she begins to fall for as they spend more time together. This was a quick read that I couldn't put down and found to be really heartwarming. I couldn't put it down and wanted to continue to read about these characters who I really loved reading about. Izzy and Zander were both well developed and complex characters who understood each other really well and were characters that I wanted to learn more and more about and found their backstories to be well built into the plot and not just there for the sake of the characters having some dramatic backstory. Izzy clearly always looked out for the boys best interests and doing her best to create the best environment she could for them. Her grief was ...
