5⭐️/2🌶️
I didn’t know if HBY could write anything as heartwarming and beautiful as Out on a Limb, but dammit she did it again. 🥹 My husband and I got together when I was 14 and married when I was 19. I followed him around the country while he was in the military, and I was slapped in the face by how much I related to Sarah and Caleb (whom I also adored in Out on a Limb but didn’t relate to nearly as deeply until Out of the Woods). The internal dialogue of Sarah was complex because of her anger and sadness and guilt and overwhelming love for her husband which left her feeling confused and reading that on paper was incredibly validating. Enough about me and my connection to the book though, the writing was GREAT. It was emotional and tense and you could feel everything they felt from the desperation and turmoil over their marriage to the joy and admiration they have for one another. It was beautiful to read. I already wish I could read it for the first time again. I could go on and on but long story short, this book is another 5⭐️ from HBY and I highly recommend it.
