This is one messed-up family. I went into this book with low expectations and was immediately met with annoying characters and an overwhelming amount of information. I can tell that this is Holly Jackson's debut for the adult genre because the writing was clunky. A prime example of this is that the book is told in the third person, but the narrator often asks, "What is the word for that....?" when that should be exclusively in Jet's dialogue because we are not supposed to be in Jet's head. Other times, there were unneeded metaphors or dialogue that didn't move the story along. Other than that, I started becoming interested in this book. The timeline for Jet made the events more tense. Though it didn't seem realistic that she "knew" how much time she had left. I like how there was a clear path to the mystery that was going down, but there were still pieces missing that held up for a surprising reveal at the end. The relationship dynamics, though maybe annoying at first, really made me suspicious of everyone while reading. Overall, this was a fun mystery.

“You can’t change anything by hiding it. You’ll just look back on memories and realise you tried to erase yourself. And how sad that would be.” This was a beautiful, simple romance. I appreciate this author for giving us a piece of herself with this one. Out on a Limb realistically captures life with a disability, pregnancy, the stress that comes with it, and learning to trust yourself. Bo and Win are the blueprint for a relationship; their communication and understanding of one another is beautiful. I was expecting more of the story to go into the first months with the new baby, but it was not needed. Romances do not need a third-act conflict, and this proves it. I laughed. I may have teared up. And I can't wait to learn more about Caleb and Sarah.
