Should be required reading for every woman, and every person that has sex with women. 

I really liked this book and there were moments that were absolutely perfect and heart-rendingly emotional. The main characters’ emotional journey is beautifully rendered. However I didn’t love the book as much as I thought I would based on word-of-mouth hype and reviews. I often struggle with books written in first-person single POV; it didn’t bother me as much as usual here, but I still didn’t feel Bo was a fully-rounded character. There were some aspects of his personality and behaviour that didn’t quite add up for me - like he was sometimes a collection of characteristics and actions rather than a fully-rounded person? But nevertheless, this was a minor quibble and in general I’d really recommend Out on a Limb.
