Everyday Moments Made Special
Such a wonderful dose of happiness. A reminder that every moment is a gift especially when you have you soul mate to share it with. Makes me wish she would follow me around and draw my life so I could see the beauty in her simple perspective all the time. A great wake up call to us all during these extraordinary times we are all living through. We are all connected.

I love these comics on Instagram, but seeing them collected in this book was even better. They will make you laugh, say awwww, and give you the warm fuzzies. She does such a great job of conveying day to day relationship life.

In Love & Pajamas was so cute and relatable! I connected with this book on some many levels and it reminded me a lot of my relationship with my fiancé. I enjoyed the illustrations and read it all in one sitting. I can't wait to read more comics by Catana Chetwynd!

I first saw Chetwynd's cartoons on Pinterest. I really enjoyed her worked because they remind me of a sweet friend and her husband. I haven't read any of Chetwynd's other books so this is my first collection of hers. I really enjoyed this book: it was a quick read and a good laugh.

Thanks to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this. I related to so many scenarios in this comic it was so fun to read. I absolutely think this isn't a book for anyone but it was definitely a book for me. I read this in about 30 minutes so you literally fly through the comic as you go.

It's a super fun comic about adult life and what comes with a relationship. It's told in a very fun way and it's definitely not depressing to read about. The comic has a good consistent art style and it shows fun scenarios that many couples could very much relate to. I think it's very good for a general public and I enjoyed it a lot.

I would definitely recommend this comic for people who are interested or are looking for something fun and quick to read.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for making this book available to read!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoy Catana Comics. We laugh hard! This book is probably my favorite out of the series, though I tend to say that after every Catana comic! This one just hit home.

More, please!!

I was kindly provided with an e-arc of this book via NetGalley.

In Love &amp; Pajamas: A Collection of Comics about Being Yourself Together</em> is a romance and humour graphic novel full of short comic strips about relationships. It was such a sweet story about the simplest parts of a relationship. It was one that many people are going to be able to relate to with choices such as deciding to stay in with your significant other rather than go out or one that made me giggle was one where they had to go out for a fourth meal becuase they stayed up too late and got hungry again. I constantly found myself smiling at the pages. The imperfect individuals in the relationship were portrayed perfectly with in the short comic strips

I only wish there was more of it. While I enjoyed the shortness of the comics, I also wished some were developed further and that there was a running story throughout. However, I did really enjoy it and I do want to pick up Chetwynd's other two graphic novels! I can see myself reaching for this one on a cold, rainy day when I am looking for a comforting read.

The collection comes out on the 2nd February in the US and on the 4th March in the UK. I do recommend the graphic novel and hope you enjoy it if you do decide to pick it up.

3/5 stars

I picked up this graphic novel thinking that it would be a book of short stories. In actuality, In Love & Pajamas is a book of comic strips about the little moments in relationships and accepting each other for who you are.
 
Although I prefer color to black and white, I thought the art was fun and quirky. Overall, I thought the little stories were super relatable, especially as a Millennial. I had to continually stop reading to show my partner a page because I thought it was perfectly us. While I think I would have preferred that this be a flowing narrative or a short story collection, I still enjoyed it. My only critique is I found the font at times difficult to read, because the letters were so close together. I am not sure if this would be as much of an issue in physical format as it was in this ebook version.

To be honest, This the first ever graphic novel that I read and I love it so much! It's comforting to know that someone is experiencing the same experiences you do. I've been following Catana Comics on Instagram for so long so when I got the chance to read her graphic novel in NetGalley I got really excited. It is such a fun read! Would totally recommend!

As always, Catana's comics are adorable. Love her books, and this one is no exception. If you're looking for a cute escape, definitely pick up In Love and Pajamas!

This is absolutely adorable. I love Catana Comics and every books is somehow even better than the one before.

Catana and John embody the fun, loving, nice couple vibe and it's so easy to see your own relationship in their daily shenanigans - whether you're the Catana or the John in your relationship (I'm totally the John).

This book will make the perfect Valentine's Day gift - or even a just because gift - for your better half. Catana would probably suggest you gift some cookies or chocolates as well.

So sweet! So cute! Each page is a self-contained comic from one to eight panels offering an adorable glimpse into the intimacies and weirdness of one couple. The style is warm and comforting and is just the thing for Valentine’s Day.

5 stars!! I adore Catana Comics and was so happy to get an early copy of this to review! I've been following the artist on Instagram for years and have always loved these cute little cartoons. They're so happy and relatable.

This book features comics that have been put out before and never before seen ones. I loved seeing some of my favourites in this collection along with new ones. John and Catana are the most adorable couple and everything the comics depict is just every day life. Catana Comics show the little moments in a relationship that make it so special and will make you smile. If you're looking for a heartwarming and feel good book this is it.

I highly recommend this, it 's a cute and quick read for all ages. I think anyone could enjoy this collection of comics!

This was SUCH a fun read. I love Catana Comics so much. Her comics always remind me of my boyfriend and I. We read this one together and kept laughing out loud as we read, often remarking, "Oh my gosh it's US!"

Ever since I read Snug I have been obsessed with the author and her work, so when I got the opportunity to read and review her latest work I knew I had to take it.

In love & Pajamas is a comic that details what is like to be in love with your best friend and how relationships work when you are truly comfortable with one another.

In reality there isn’t anything truly outstanding about this book, it is just a comic about love, dating you best friend and what it is like to be in a loving relationship. Don’t go into this comic expecting some kind of plot or order, you won’t find any. What you will find though is an adorable collection of comic strips that are able to capture what it is like to be in love in just a few pages.

The best part for me about this comic is that it is extremely relatable. I could picture my boyfriend and I in all of these scenarios and I even texted some pictures to him just because of how relatable they were.

I recommend this comic if you are looking for a past, quick, pick me up that will make you smile all the way through. This is the definition of a feel good book because even though the comic is about the author and her partner you are able to connect and relate which makes it an adorable read.

This comic won’t take you more than 1 hour to read so I truly recommend for you to pick it up and give it a go, it’s totally worth it and the art style is amazing.

Thanks so much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for allowing me read and review this book.

Catana does it again! Her comics do a fantastic job detailing what everyday life is like in a long-term relationship. I find myself laughing and agreeing with almost every page. I own all of her previous books, and I will most definitely be buying this book for my husband as well.

hi everyone!
This book is the cutest thing ever!
It's a short collection of comics of everyday 'couple life' showing the cute romantic (but realistic) moments. and I mean:
- asking the other one to see a movie you just watched to talk about it
- doing things that the other loves
- procrastinating on going out just to stay in bed together
- texting each other from different rooms
- and many other sweet and funny things
It's very relatable, in fact it isn't about the grand gestures and other typical rom-com things, it's about the every-day life in the comfortable and loving stage of a relationship and about embracing every quality and little quirks about them.
I really liked reading it and I found myself in almost every page.
I think this could be a perfect Valentine's Day gift for you other half, just to show how much you appreciate every single moment you spend with them :).

5 stars and more ,The author, Catana, summarized the book as Wholesome, sweet, feel-good humor! and I just couldn't agree more. with her. This is one of the book to read and share with your loved one and am sure that you'll be able to find your own story among the so many shared by the author.
Simple and clean illustration, this book tops among my favorite books for the simplicity, for the cuteness overload and not least the beautiful romance among the two characters,
Highly recommended

Catana has done it to my heart for 3rd time! These extreme awe-inducing comics never fail to make my feel so ridiculously single and lonely, but also so happy I could cry. Catana makes you want to set out on a journey to find your very own John, and I hope she never stops making these installments!
