Honestly, this is such a great book to end 2020 with. I've been following Catana's work for a few years now and she never seizes to amaze me. This is such a wholesome and heart-warming collection of comics. If you haven't read any of her books, please do. You're missing out a lot. Rating: 5/5 stars.
This book is just so cute and beyond relatable. Filled with adorable illustration and fun slides.
I loved reading this alongside my partner and just to see how many of the pictures were just so accurate was a blast. One of my favorites!
I follow Catana comics online and this book made me appreciate them even more. They highlight the love, struggle, and little joys of Catana and her fiancé, John. I read this in multiple sittings because I wanted to savor them instead of devouring them. Highly recommend!
This was so cute! I love the drawings, the storyline, and the humor. This is what a relationship should be. I can’t wait to read more of these! I may have to buy these for my personal collection.
Love the way Catana Chetwynd captures the little moments of life and love that are so easily overlooked. She is one of my favorite cartoonists and I always look forward to a new book of hers. This one was fun and adorable and I cannot wait to be able to share it with my love.
This is the perfect time to write a book about being cozy in pajamas together 24/7, as that's what many of us have been doing during this stay-at-home time.
I follow this artist on Instagram and saw a few repeats of comics, but overall, this book evokes a strong feeling of love, adoration, quirkiness, and the comfort of being able to be yourself with each other. Catana is skilled at capturing the lovely everyday experiences that couples go through that we often take for granted. It is relatable, whimsical, and super cute.
I received a digital ARC through NetGalley from Andrews McMeel Publishing. This 3rd collection of Catana Comics is just more cuteness of a couple that are comfortable with each other and share these sweet intimate moments. I love relating to this couple, for instance, giving an impromptu fashion show because she just bought new clothes. I’m not alone, LOL. These little moments make you forget all the ugly things we let our minds dwell on. I’m always happy to read these collections
This is a cute read. At first, I had to get use to the format because I was not expecting varying entrees of the comic. Reminds me of a gathering of multiple newspaper entrees gathered together. Cute, many adaptable to how my husband and I act with each other. Worth the read if just for the smile it gives. I will be purchasing a copy once it comes out. My favorite page is the one in color and my favorite storyline is the one about getting nails done to scratch her husband's head.
I absolutely loved this. It’s so nice to see these sweet whole strips that show a healthy loving relationship. I was able to connect to the majority of them and can clearly feel the love between Catana and her partner

If you liked Snug and Little Moments in Love (Catana Chetwynd’s previous books), or follow Catana’s work on social media, then you will surely enjoy In Love & Pajamas. If you’re unfamiliar with her work, but are a hopeless romantic (like me), sort-of-an-antisocial-introvert and are head-over-heels in love, then this book will be perfect for you, too.
Don’t misunderstand me! I don’t think you must be in a relationship to enjoy it, but it does feel like a book meant to be shared with a partner, pointing and smiling at the images that remind you of each other, sending screenshots with fond messages and emojis: “This is sooooo you” or “This made me think of you” or "This is one reason I love you". It feels too, rather apt for these trying times —most scenes were indoors, capturing small moments that should resonate with every couple enduring the pandemic, and its stay-at-home orders, together under the same roof.
As expected, each comic is sweet and wholesome, with a slice-of-life quality that makes them feel achingly honest and funny. Love, without fanfare, without pretense, comfortable at home, free to be quirky and messy —that’s what shines through each page, and it made me smile. Even the most cynical skeptic, I would argue, would think these two in-love and applaud their relationship.
Though Catana’s art style has never been my favorite, it works. The simple, mostly black-and-white illustrations manage to convey dozens of emotions with very few lines, and the faces are extremely expressive despite their simplicity. Plenty of the comics are brand new, too —around 50%, according to the blurb. As a whole, the selection is charming, hilarious and a perfect example of what a healthy relationship can be and look like.
In Love & Pajamas will be published on the second of February, just in time to be a perfect Valentine's gift for your significant other. Don't pass it up, if your partner loves reading, comics or cute stuff, in general; it will be a lovely surprise.
Utterly delightful and impossible to dislike, this collection of short, sparse comics about living life with a loving partner is sure to leave you smiling. Fans of Catana Comics are sure to enjoy this third published collection of hers. Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy!
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sending to me a copy for review,
I really surprised by how romantic and funny this comic was 😍 I’m not a big fan of comic books but this one wooow I enjoyed it a lot it full of heart worming, cute and funny moments that made me smile from the start to end.
So this comic is all about two Married couples and their life together and how each of them care for one another feeling and that was super romantic! 😍
This was simply adorable! I have always enjoyed Catana comics when I ran across them on the internet and if you similarly like the style, I feel like you would also love this little collection of comics. The content is very wholesome which I feel like we all need in our lives right now. Overall, would definitely recommend if you enjoy Catana's style or you are just in need of some cuteness to brighten your day.
Another relatable collection of comics from Catana Chetwynd, but it doesn't touch on anything quarantine related ... so it's a breath of fresh air in that regard.
This was my first book by Catana Comics and it was so cute! I loved the illustration style, and found myself smiling or laughing out loud at many of the pages. These scenes about relationships are super relatable and fun. This could make a great gift for your partner, or someone in a relationship that loves comic strip style books.
I'm a big fan of Catana Comics. I loved her last book, Snug, and her latest book, In Love & Pajamas, is no exception. Each comic is a delight to see and share with your loved one. Looking forward to buying it when it comes out.

Thank you Netgally for the Early arc in exchange of a honest review.
I absolutely adore the book. The sketches and the relationship shown between characters is so real and fun. I loved the sketches. This book is a very quick read and you can read it in one sitting itself. Some of the scenes are my favorite. And some sketches will just make your heart soft. It is indeed a happy book.
I cannot wait to read more books by the author. The simplicity of the book, has won my heart. Can't wait to pick more books by her.
I just read this cute comic that I got from @netgalley. It had me smiling and all the cheesy cuteness. @catanacomics is aso fun to follow on instagram. #netgalley #inlovepajamas
Fans of Catana Chetwynd will not be disappointed in this latest collection. These slice-of-life comics about relationships are sweet, funny and relatable.
Even though I am not in love and to be honest, I am not sure I really actually believe in love anymore, this adorable little comic does give me hope. I love Catana and John [and live for her new comics on Insta] and this was a fun little book to pass the evening with. If you are looking for fun and warm and fuzzy and true-to-life [someone's life anyway], this is the comic for you. It really is delightful.
