I love graphic novels/comics about relationships and couples especially. I've read ones with family members too but the ones about couples just seem to always really hit the mark and make my heart swoon.
Debbie Tung hit the nail on the head with so many of these panels, and she had a lot that I could personally relate to that I haven't yet seen done already which is a treat.
I'd love to read and see more from her - the little relationship she created in between her pages made me happy and was a nice pick me up. Loved it.
Debbie Tung’s latest graphic novel, Happily Ever After & Everything In Between, continues her simple yet delightfully engaging musings on everyday life. Tung’s latest work shows her lovable protagonist’s evolution of self and partnership. Renderings lovingly highlight a myriad of relational dynamics from pre-marriage to the honeymoon period, to settling in and growing together from individuals to a couple and as a family. Lighthearted and completely relatable with laugh out loud reflections are sure to charm a diverse crowd!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the electronic ARC in trade for an honest review.
This was my first ever graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. It was a super easy, quick read. The illustrations were so cute and were really easy to follow along with and really portrayed the emotions that the characters were feeling. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me early access to this book.

Tung has the talent to write and draw feel-good books and this was no exception. Whilst "Quiet Girl in a Noisy World" focused on the author's mental health, this aimed to show snippets of the author's married life.
Overall, it a beautifully drawn feel-good book that left a smile on my face!
Short and sweet. A few relatable moments here, but not as many as Book Love. I might gift it to anyone newly married or engaged, but probably won’t add it to my library. Seems like Tung has already set herself up for the next installment with the big reveal at the end.

I totally checked this one out only because of the author, since I really enjoyed Debbie's previous comics. In the similar manner to Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story, this one offers insight into Debbie's personal life, while at the same time being cute, funny, and probably relatable to anyone married or in a long term relationship. I enjoyed this comic a lot. It's drawn in a signature Debbie's artwork, simplistic, but effective. I really can't wait to see what she's coming up with next and I'd highly recommend this one to everyone looking for something cute to cheer them up.

This is just so cute!! Feeling so warm and fuzzy on the inside 🥰
I’m not married yet but some things are very relatable to my boyfriend and I. I can’t help but share some of the comic strips with him!
High praise for the adorable cartoons and illustrations. I truly enjoyed this comic. It helped me unwind from a busy day at work.
Also a big thank you to the author for sharing her life with us through these wonderful comics. Can’t wait to see more works from her!

I have always enjoyed Debbie Tung's work on Instagram and her books are an equally charming addition to it. This one, however, straight up melted my heart. I am a sappy person at heart and I love cherishing the little moments in life. And this book does exactly that. Thanks, Debbie, for another heartwarming work.
This is the kind of book that you give your favourite couple, a newly married couple. Very cute and relatable.

One thing that I’ve noticed in comics like this is that they are all pretty much the same. Which is weird, after all, all couples are different, though we do go through the things that happen in this book, it focuses on - like I said - the same things as any other comic centered in couples. Not to say that this book is inherently bad, it’s still pretty cute, it’s just not really that different from any other one in the genre.
Overall, I appreciate the book's realness and would still recommend it.
I've seen/read a lot of short comics from Debbie Tung online and have always found them cute and quite relatable, and yet I never knew she had books published.
This one hit specifically close to home, as her relationship with her husband is illustrated so honestly and it warmed my heart, and it made me think of my partner and I's relationship. Thus I ended up with a smile plastered on my face while reading. I hope most if not all readers can relate while going through the pages - Debbie Tung depicts quite a happy and normal life with one's partner.
The comic was a fast and light read and just made my day a bit brighter. Half the reason why, is the drawing style that is simplistic enough, so it doesn't overwhelm or distract from the story, but it's also cute and just overall, nice to look at.

I really enjoyed Book Love and Quiet Girl in A Noisy World and felt the same for this new book by Debbie Tung. It was such a cute and romantic story about their marriage life. Some of them are relatable to me. Her artwork is nice. I can’t wait to put my hands on the physical copy.
This was a cute peek into the dating and early marriage of the author. It had a lot of relatable moments and was a quick, enjoyable read.
Debbie Tung is definitely on top of my lists of favourite cartoonists as she writes and illustrates stories that are heartwarming, relatable and absolutely adorable. I feel like I could read her works for hours and hours on end. I had the pleasure to read her previous works recently and I love each and every one of them. From the small details to the bigger ones, every single thing.
This book made me believe in love, the happiness and joy of finding the one and making the most of the memories you would have together. That small actions the other makes will still make butterflies flutter in your stomach even after all the years, the simple moments of everyday life and that perhaps life isn't so bad after all when you've got each other's backs.
Every time I finish this author's works, I'd yearn for more and then I'd want even more after that. I don't think I will ever cease to get bored with her comic strips, relatable content of being obsessed with books and staying in, the love she has for her husband (lowkey jealous because I want what she has. Hopefully someday!) gorgeous and detailed illustrations. I look forward to what she has to offer next and in the meantime, I'll just repeatedly read her books over and over again!
Debbie Tung's comics always make me a ball of mush. It's partly why I keep coming back to them - to let them melt me into this emoticon with starry eyes and moist eyes both at once.
Also, totally not an overreaction:
Debbie: I can finally connect with nature.
H: The Wi-Fi is down
Debbie: Noooooooo, how will we survive????
I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
I loved this book, it was so funny, relateable and numerous and I loved how the female character (Debbie) loves books too.
The drawings are brilliant and very comical.
A quick but enjoyable read and I will be checking out more of Debbie Tungs work!
Debbie Tung does it again. If you enjoyed Book Love or Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story, this is another smash hit that combines charm, humor and heart. The unique style is perfectly layered here to warm even the coldest heart. Five stars. Even the cynical soul will be comforted with this beautiful book.
Thought this might be a cute read, and it definitely was. I definitely saw me and my husband in this comic, so it's nice to see some couple things are definitely universal. It's not exactly what I thought it would be, but it was an easy read, so I am not complaining. Was very enjoyable. I couldn't exactly tell at times who was the extrovert and introvert, since even me and my husband are both and I can't tell sometimes who is more or less. But I think that was the point and it's how the couple complimented each other. Recommend. Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy.
Debbie Tuang’s new book Happily Ever After is a very cute collection of comics about married life, it is charming and entertaining. Some say that marriage is the greasiest achievement, Tung is that happy newlywed and demonstrates the daily life of being a young couple in her new book. You do not have to be a newlywed to relate with everything she says or draws. There are many comics in this collection that will make you smile, several that will you want to share and others that you will even say awh!
I absolutely loved Book Love, this is not as great, but definitely worth the read! 4.5 stars

Thank you #netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I adore slice of life comics and this delightful novel was no exception. Being married is, overall, a weird thing. This amazing comic series shows how wonderful and strange real life can be. Do you need something funny and light for COVID-19? Read this, it is a true delight.
