Nessa divertida e romântica história em quadrinhos, temos a rotina de um casal exposta em seus mais diversos momentos.
Não conhecia ainda o livro ou a autora, mas fui logo fisgado pelo seu jeito fofo e muito engraçado de desenvolver as tramas dos personagens.
Essa é uma história de casal, mas pode ser lida por qualquer um. Talvez os casais se reconheçam mais nas tirinhas, claro, entretanto, eu mesmo não tive problemas pra ler e ainda gostei bastante da obra!
Em relação ao idioma, por ser coisas do cotidiano e em formato de quadrinhos, pode ser facilmente acompanhado sem grandes dificuldades. Talvez até seja uma boa opção para quem quer se arriscar em uma leitura em inglês, igual eu.

Small moments are often underrepresented in romance stories because grand gestures are easier to show and display in media. Happily Ever After and Everything In Between does the opposite focusing on the small moments and how there compounding creates one of the most fleshed out and real feeling relationships I’ve encountered. Large moments like New Years parties or buying a house are present but often just the settings for the quirky and intimate moments this couple shares. This creates a comic collection that is a joy to read and something you should pick up today.

I knew this book would be lovely after the first page: "Six years ago...I married my best friend."

In short, mostly 4-panel comics, Tung portrays the everyday lives of a new married couple. I found them humorous, adorable, and super honest and relatable. I especially love the one where they spend a while deciding what movie to watch but they both end up falling asleep.

A hilarious representation of what it's like to live with you significant other! The writing was spectacular and really pinpointed all the things us couples go through together. LOVED this book!

Advanced copy provided by Netgalley in exchange for review.

I love Debbie's work, Quiet Girl... is brilliant.

This is focusing on life as a married couple, and I definitely related to it.
Fairly short read.

I read the ebook version - I wonder if some of the pages were meant to be viewed side by side?
One minor point - despite living in the UK, there are Dollar signs included and referencing to "hiking a trail" - presumably to cater to US audience from publication.

I knew the author because of her other book "Book Love", and I love her drawing these are so cute!
This book is about love and it's going on in a relationship. I'm so thankful to read it. Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this opportunity.
What I didn't like in this one was because I never get into a relationship, so I can't connect to the story, but if it wasn't' your case you will be like reading it.

Fun story of the first few years of marriage: buying a house, figuring out what to make for dinner and how much of the house budget should be spent on books, putting together new furniture. Debbie's drawing style is cute and emotive. Looking forward to their next chapter!

This was so cute and funny! It was so much like reading about my own marriage to my husband! I loved it and would recommend it to any couple!

I really liked this. The art is simple, the comics are expressive enough and I really like reading comics about life. We are all scared about the world and scared about who we are, but reading something fluffy and sweet is amazing.

After watching my life play out in the pages of Debbie Tung’s ‘Quiet Girl in a Noisy World’ and ‘Book Love’, I was eagerly anticipating seeing what other thing that makes me me she was going to explore. This third graphic novel is where our lives diverge, which turned this read from ‘how is she getting into my head?’ to ‘aww, Debbie and Jason are such a cute couple’.

Whether you’re deciding what to cook for dinner or ensuring the essentials find their way into the household budget, it’s important that your partner understands your love language. While there are some sweet, kinda mushy moments, single, introverted bookworms will also find plenty of relatable moments in this collection.

While I couldn’t guess what Debbie would tackle next after finishing her second graphic novel, the reveal at the end of this one seems to me to be a pretty big clue about what to expect from the next one.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.

This is a collection of cute comics about the first years of married life, without children. I found it pleasant to read and I like the illustrations, but I feel it lacks more depth - still, it's a nice read, it could be a good present for a wedding.

Debbie Tung caught my interest in the first book I read, so of course, I had to read this one. Love the illustrations that capture the emotions in a simple way but still deep. In this book, we see the normal daily situations a couple deals with, discussions, activities, and all the ordinary real-life experiences. While reading it’s impossible not to laugh and thinking how cute it is.
It’s fast to ready and it’s worth it every second spend. Makes you smile and agreed with these situations so realistic. Many readers must see them in most of these moments.

This was a sweet book with great illustrations and I would gladly buy it as a gift for a young married couple - perhaps as a wedding anniversary gift. Debbie Tung illustrates beautifully and the cartoons about different life situations a young couple in love find themselves in. Juxtaposing deep and meaningful conversations with the ordinary, Debbie captures facial expressions perfectly. A great little read and some sweet cartoons to return to and enjoy a chuckle or a smile.

This is a very sweet story about an endearing couple. We watch them as newly weds and see them grow as young adults. This is a great upbeat and maybe idealistic (they don’t argue at all!?!) glimpse at all the ways this couple loves and appreciates each other.

It was a cozy read. I liked the cute illustrations and the funny narratives of married life in the strips.

I loved the art style!

This is an easy graphic novel that tells you what the everyday life of marriage can bring. Especially if you and your loved one are best friends, which hopefully you are. I love how simple this story was while also be honest. There are funny points every so often in between the normalcy. The one thing that could've made this a better read for me was if there was a connection between each "scene". After you get into the story you realize that sometimes each page is a completely new conversation and is not connected to the previous conversation.

Cute, humorous, and light-hearted book casting light on co-habitating with your loved one and mundane life in intimate spaces. I laughed-out-loud and told my spouse "See?!? It's not just us!" several times through out reading the book, to which my spouse responded by just looking at me like I had lost it. Thanks to Ms. Tung for sharing those everyday neuroses with us!
