Everyday interactions can be the most mundane and ordinary but some can leave an everlasting effect on individuals. In Love & Pajamas is a romantic and enduring walk through the ordinary interactions between couples. Chetwynd beautifully illustrates the everyday actions and encounters that couples can experience. The simplicity of the illustrations makes the content more impactful. Readers will fall in love with the interactions they share and fall in love with the relatable comics.

Cute illustrations. I like the idea of daily life in graphic style. A few places are laugh out loud but over all I found it very repetitive. I have read something similar and that was better in terms of content.

This was a short and sweet read, which I think could be very helpful for people during these hard times. Unfortunately, I prefer graphic novels that have a little more "meat" to the story aka longer narratives and longer comic strips.

I’m a big fan of Catana Comics and my boyfriend and I and my friends and I frequently send them to one another to enjoy. This is a good way for people who are fans of the comics to view them all in one place, but if people are looking for lots of new comics they haven’t already seen on Instagram they may be disappointed. I love how relatable these comics are. They truly make you feel and reminisce on sweet memories or give you ideas on ways to make your own relationship more fun.

Catana hits the nail on the head again with this latest comic collection! While I own her previous two books, Little Moments in Love & Snug, and have followed her for several years on IG, this collection didn't feel repetitive at all. Its a refreshing collection bursting with moments of joy, irritation, and just everyday relationship moments. Are you a dog loving, partner obsessed homebody who is always excited for the next meal? If so, and even if not, go out and get this book for some much needed feel goods in 2020.

In Love & Pajamas is as cozy and lovely as the title. I’ve followed Catana and her stories online previously, but you don’t need any prior knowledge to enjoy this collection! These comics are perfect, bite-sized, and always hilariously relatable. With themes of sweetness and connection throughout, Catana draws specific situations that manage to be both funny and heartwarming. I would highly recommend this! In Love & Pajamas releases on February 2, 2021. Thank you to Catana Chetwynd, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another great collection of comics by Catana! They’re cute, sweet, and funny as always. Though I wish the PDF supplied wasn’t so low resolution, as it was tough to read some of the words.

Yes! Catana Comics is back with another fantastic (and endearing) collection! In Love & Pajamas: A Collection of Comics about Being Yourself Together is an accurate title and description for this entire series, and perfect for this graphic novel.

Catana Comics is one of my favorite comics to check out, as I know each and everyone is guaranteed to make me smile. Catana Chetwynd simply has a way of doing exactly that. All thanks to the hilarious way she portrays herself and her significant other.

Usually by portraying them as two love-struck hermits, more than happy to spend the evening inside just being together. That's something I can relate to, and based on Catana's popularity, I would have to say that I'm not the only one.

In Love & Pajamas is a hilarious collection of little vignettes from their lives. Each story feels light and casual, sticking more day to day moments instead of something more serial. If you haven't seen her work floating around online (and the odds are good that you have), I highly recommend checking her work out.

It really feels like In Love & Pajamas is perfectly timed, for so many reasons. After all, how many of us are currently trapped inside with our loved ones? Well, perhaps trapped is the wrong word, as this collection shows all of the delights that can be found in exactly that.

The comics included within are endearing and painfully cute, and I have no doubt that they will bring a smile to any reader's face. I know it worked for me. I love how relatable the humor is, making it easy for a wide audience to enjoy.

Catana is back and her comics are as adorable as ever!

Thanks to NetGalley, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Catana Chetwynd for the ARC.

This was exactly as lovely as I expected it to be.
Having a loving relationship being portrayed through the small and not so small routines was a welcome novelty instead of seeing another story of boy meet girl.
Thank you to Andrew McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this DRC

This is the third installment in the Catana Comics series so far, and like cartoonists -- if you like one, there's a high probability you'll like them all. Consequently, if you don't really care for Catana Comics already, this won't be the book that changes your mind. Like most modern autobiographical cartoonists (Sarah's Scribbles, Hyperbole & a Half), the biggest difference between this book and the two before it is the progression of time (puppy from previous book is now a dog, etc.) Based on the title and the while reading these comics, it timing, I had wondered if it was going to be a pandemic/quarantine book (which I hope there will be at some point?) because literally the day before shutdowns started, I'd been going to see Catana at an even for Snug, so this book came out less than a year before this one. I don't do social media anymore, so I can't say how much of the book has previously been posted on social media, but I only recognized one or two strips, so I think I can safely say that even if you follow the social media pages, there's material you haven't see in the book. Overall, a fun, easy read, especially for happily partnered couples. It's amazing how every couple has their own unique lexicon and "couples talk" and yet reading these comics, it feels like a very universal experience of happy coupledom. I enjoyed every page, and will definitely pick up a hard copy to add to my collection.

Another beautiful compilation of cute art sketches and comics by Catana Chetwynd. I have been following Catana Comics for a while and it always cheers me up whenever I come across any of her comic strips.
What I like the most about this compilation is that it's considered the current scenario and have multiple comics with work from the home theme. It was very refreshing!

I already saw a lot from this artist all over Twitter and knew I love her work! So it's no surprise that I really enjoyed this too. A cute book for anyone to enjoy. And the art is adorable and relatable!

5 Stars (I received an e-arc from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review)

This graphic novel/comic book is very basic but throughly enjoyable and a great way to focus on something cute, happy and relatable for introverts. Very simple illustrations showing an adorable relationship and is it just me or does the guy’s beard makes him look like a lemur at first?

An adorable and totally relatable set of comics about being in a relationship. All around positive vibes in this one! I only wish it would have lasted a little longer. I will have to read her others!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this one!

Okay, I love these comics. I'd only ever seen a few of them scattered around the internet and had never tracked them down to the source, so I was excited to devour a bunch of them at once!

Sometimes I feel personally called out by some of them, like the one where she says "I love you" to him, but he's wearing headphones, so she keeps repeating, louder and louder, "I <i>said</i> <b>I LOVE YOU!</b>"

In fact, I kept finding comics in the book that I liked so much I had to go see if they were on Instagram so I could show them to my husband.

All in all, a very fun read that I definitely didn't stay up too late reading in bed on my phone... nope, not me! ;)

<i>Note: I received a temporary copy of this book free of charge through NetGalley.</i>

This was SO cute... I was not expecting this level of cuteness. I caught myself smiling multiple times. It’s sweet, relatable, endearing, and warm. Perfect for a cold and rainy day.

I would recommend to anyone in need of a quick and easy mood lifter!
