After reading Out On A Limb from Bonam-Young and feeling overwhelming okay about it, I didn't have great hopes to be wowed by this. However, I was surprised by how quick of a read this was and how at the end of things, I did have a good time. I believe that Bonam-Young's strength lies in writing heartfelt, very domestic stories that handle discussions around extremely difficult/uncomfortable topics with grace. Chloe and Warren don't have it easy and it isn't sugarcoated. Do I think their romance was a bit insta-lovey? Yes but if you are looking for a quick, feel-good read, this may be the story for you.
