There is not a single thing that Hannah Bonam-Young could write that I would not race to read and I screamed when I got approved for an eArc of Out of the Woods! One thing I always know going in to one of Hannah's books is that at some point in the book I will smile, laugh and most likely sob my eyes out and yep! You guessed it, this one was no different!

Sarah and Caleb were a joy to read about and made me sob multiple times whilst reading their story. I was also really happy to be able to see Win and Bo pop up throughout the book as Out on a Limb is one of my all time favourite books! If you love to read about real authentic people in love then this book and every other book Hannah has written will be perfect for you!

One of my favourite settings for books is in the middle of the woods, whether some of the book takes place on a hike, they go camping or even when they get lost in the woods! It will always be one of my favourite things included in books and this particular take on it made me so happy. Getting to watch Sarah and Caleb find their way back to each other and them finding themselves again was amazing but getting to see it with the setting of camping just made it ten times better!

Hannah has yet again managed to perfectly capture love in all of its forms in this book, whether it is Sarah and Caleb, Win and Sarah, Bo and Caleb, Gus and everyone (because who doesn't love Gus), you get to see so many kinds of love in this story and it constantly made my heart all warm and fuzzy.

Thank you so much to Negalley, Bedford Square Publishers and Hannah Bonam-Young for the opportunity to read this early!

There's just something about a romance story that makes you want to cry.

I loved this and I completely devoured it within a day. The characters, the development, the story arc just all worked together so well to create a moving piece that will touch on different issues that people will be able to relate to.

I want express how much I loved and adored this story, whilst still allowing everyone to experience it for themselves! I loved the relationship between Sarah and Caleb, all of their moments together brought forth so many different emotions and you couldn't helped but be sucked into the story. The chemistry between them was great but the love that they held for each other and how that was written was truly the highlight of this book.

The journey and emotions of Sarah were just... so perfectly relatable? I loved that as a reader you saw all the turmoil and the worry, and how it is dealt with or how it can overwhelm. The writing is so great at creating this flow between building up these emotions, keeping the readers there, whilst giving moments of light-heartedness. I also enjoyed seeing certain characters return whilst enjoying the new characters and the chemistry they brought within the scenes too!

Thank you to Bedford Square Publishers for this eARC, I am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have really mixed feelings about this book. I liked it a lot, what I love about Hannah Bonam-Young books is that she always writes and explores non-typical relationships. This book is a marriage in trouble, Sarah and Caleb don't really know a life outside of being with each other and maybe they aren't as happy as they seem.
I loved the exploration of this internal miscommunication with each other. I think I found a but frustrating how they themselves didn't understand why they were feeling the way they were feeling while as a reader I understood them. But the story and the relationship evolves in such a beautiful way that pulls at your heartstrings.
Tiktok and instagram posts to come.

I’m beyond grateful to Dell Romance and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this one 🙏. Having already grown attached to Sarah and Caleb in Out on a Limb, I was excited but a bit anxious heading into this book. I wasn’t sure how things would unfold for them, but I had complete faith that Hannah would deliver exactly what the story needed. From the very beginning, I knew this would be an emotional journey—and I was right. That’s what I’ve come to expect from Hannah’s writing, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Hannah has a gift for crafting complex, deeply relatable characters. The emotions she weaves into her stories make me feel like I truly know these people, which is probably why I get so attached to them. I loved the relationships in this book, from the friendships to the family dynamics, and appreciated how realistically they were portrayed. The flashback scenes were a great touch, giving us insight into how the characters' pasts shaped their present.
This book struck the perfect balance of romance, humor (the kind I loved from Out on a Limb), and heartache (with perhaps more than a few tears on my end). It’s definitely a story I’ll be recommending to everyone. I’m already looking forward to a reread and can’t wait for others to experience it too!
