Look, it should be made clear I love anything Catana does. I have her first book and I adore it and I plan on purchasing this one upon release too because I collect physical copies.

I do have a boyfriend and I do feel like we relate to these comics heavy but I'm pretty positive even those without a significant other would enjoy these. They're completely adorable and make me smile and make me feel happy and they're original and always on point.

Loveee.

I've loved Catana Chetwynd's comics for a number of years having seen them around the internet on various social media platforms. This collection brings together all of the warm fuzzy feelings I get from seeing her stand alone comics. Her interactions with her boyfriend and her dog are ridiculously relatable, some of which make me laugh out loud. I don't know how many times I've given my fiance the side eye as I hand him my phone to look at one of her comics only to have him nod sagely in understanding. Yes, I do that, the nod says, guilty as charged.

It will be a great day when I can have this book in my hands to flip through and smile over. Wonderful work, as always.

I’ve followed these adorable comics on social media for as long as I can remember. They make me smile and giggle because of how relatable they are.

This is an absolute PERFECT gift to your significant other and such a sweet way to show your love and have a good laugh

Cute slice of life comics, some humor, some serious notes, pretty adorable. Not a fan of the artist's style for people, mostly because John's facial hair and eyes made me think of goldfish, and that's all I could see after that, which caused me to constantly think of them as goldfish pretending to be people and not people. That's my own issue, but it was distracting for me. I did read some of Chetwynd's work online, but it wasn't something I kept going back to. I did enjoy this and think others will enjoy the nice normalcy of the novel.

Cute and touching. A great gift for an anniversary. Chetwynd captures all of the silly mundane things that make a relationship great. The little, nonsensical ways we say I love you and the lived realities of a relationship, like stealing the covers. A delight.

Catana's comics are sweet, charming and funny. A lot of them remind me of cozy moments spent with my spouse. I would highly recommend this comic.

This collection of comics shows the many moments in a long term romance. Moments of frustration, silliness, affection and more. Chetwind's people, with their large, round heads and big goldfish eyes seem a little odd at first, but this style works for her. She successfully portrays the range of emotions needed for this strip, which reminds us all of what we love about being in love.

Thank you for making this a 'Read Now'! I had so much fun reading this! Firstly, the drawings are just tooooo adorable! This comic is so so relatable! The 'snug'gles are real, the hand-in-the-same-mitten is just too cute, the this-comforter-fight is so so real, staying-home-in-winter-and-order-all-things-online is so us (I'm married but everything in this book is something we both can relate to!), and oooo 'reach for your toes' scene made me laugh out so loud that I had to show it to my other half, and it brought a smile to his face LOL I'm definitely getting this book for him on Valentine's Day!

This comic is so-so good. Deserves to be read over and over again! Definitely a perfect 5 (which I rarely give!)

I absolutely LOVE Catana Comics! It's like looking into a mirror and seeing my relationship with my husband reflected in these pages. Due to be released in February, I'll be sure to purchase a physical copy for my love for Valentines Day!

It's amazing how much can be said in four to five frames with little to no words at all. Catana Chetwynd perfectly achieves her relationship with John through simple, highly Instagramable bits in this adorable book. Each comic is four to five panels long but somehow manages to fit so many relatable emotions and actions into such a cute little square. In its entirety, the book is absolutely adorable. Having followed her on Instagram, I kind of knew what I was getting into, but this collection exceeded all expectations. Catana manages to take the mundane day-to-day of modern relationships and packages them into the perfect quick read. A perfect gift for those you love or a great pick-me-up for yourself, I cannot recommend this book more.

This was an absolutely adorable collection of short comics about dating the right person. I moved in recently with my (also tall and bearded) boyfriend and I found this so relatable and funny. I think any 20 or 30 something in a similar stage of life would as well

This is super cute and so full of love and understanding! How will I ever not love Catana's comics.... I am invested for this lifetime.

The comic style is a bit less attractive than the first collection I would say. Otherwise the art sequence and everything works out fine.

As it is just about the couple, it becomes a bit monotonous and a bit repetitive.
But you know what? It is just amazing and sweet! It was difficult not to feel super single while reading this.

I enjoyed it a lot. I see lots of potential in the upcoming collections. I cannot wait, Catana!

Thank you #NetGalley for providing an ARC of this amazing comic collection #Snug

I loved her comics and this one was even better, deeper in some case and also terribly funny because I still remember how were the first weeks/months, but it seems she was able to make it last longer ;)
Looking forward to the next comic book!

Mi piacciono moltissimo le strisce di questa autrice e stavolta il libro mi sembra anche migliore del precedente, piú profondo in certi casi e anche terribilmente divertente, anche perché ci sono passata anche io e ancora mi ricordo come sono state le prime settimane, ma Catana sembra riuscita a far durare i primi mesi molto di piú ;)
Non vedo l'ora esca la prossima raccolta!

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This was a cute and wholesome book. I really enjoyed a lot of the comics and feel like anyone in a happy long term relationship can relate. Some of them seemed a bit 'look how quirky we are!' to me and I thought that was a bit annoying. Overall it was a cute and quick read.

It was so cuuute and really accurate. I love her comics because I find a lot of similarities with my (our) life. (But I think, I'm not the only one.)
The comics, some of them I already knew, but there were some totally new ones, and I looooved them. We were sitting with my boyfriend reading and laughing on each of the pages, because it's so us. :D
Thanks for the opportunity to read. :)

I really like Catana and have followed her art online for quite some time. It was nice to see this collection of familiar and new comics all in one place. Her art is so sweet and funny!
