Review to come January 2021 on blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

The third Catana comics collection and boy oh boy I was hyped. I just love her art and her comics are so much fun to read, also very relatable in different ways.

This one is once again filled to the brim with love and humour. The hearts are once again flying out of the comics. We see this cute couple do all sorts of things, from going to the beach, to photographing their dog or seeing who he loves more. We see phonecalls and apping despite them being in the same house. I loved their conversations which are about many kinds of topics, from what food to eat forever (I agree with chicken nuggets) to music to how a day was (and getting the wine if the day was very very bad). I loved a whole lot more, this is definitely a comic to read if your day isn't going too well and you need something soft and fluffy and fun.

I had such a laugh at John buying a foam shooter and knowing for sure that Catana is surprised, oh yes she will, but I am also sure her revenge will be sweet. :P I showed this one to my hubby and he agreed to John's choices. Oh men. I guess I should watch out the coming time. XD

There were many moments that had me nodding along. And not just me. My hubby as well. It seems that while each couple is different there are things we all do in a way.

Too bad the quality of the book I got from NG was just crap. I am sorry to say but it did distract from reading and at times the text was hard to read. I am deducing 0.5 stars from that. Maybe I will add that star again when I buy a physical copy and I can actually read without my eyes burning out of my skull. Really, NG + publishers, just upload a good file. It is just a shame when one wants to read a book and gets a blurry hard to read copy. :|

But despite the horrible quality of the images, I still enjoyed this book immensely. So happy to get more comics from Catana and I definitely cannot wait to see what will be next. I am already looking forward to her next book!

I love Chetwynd's work, and this was as good as ever. It's all so sweet and cute, and it's funny too. (And hell, it reminded me so much of my partner and I that we read it together...even he was cracking up at every other page.)

A quick and cute read. I love the little moments in the book. I can't relate wholly since I have never been in a relationship, but there are some moments that I can relate to. Makes me want to have a relationship after reading it.

This was such a cute collection of comics! Catana combines the realities of being in a relationship with her simplistic art style to create heartwarming and often LOL panels. I could definitely see this as the kind of book that couples might go through to point out the things they’ve also done. Although it’s a book about couples, I firmly believe single people would enjoy it as well.

A beautiful book about the happy little things in all relationships.

I absolutely loved it - and recognized many of my favorite memories of my love in many of the stories.

I highly, highly recommend this book! Many thanks to NetGalley and the author for allowing me to enjoy this wonderful read!

My gosh, this was cuteness overload! I loved every.single.page of it!

I didn’t know about Catana before, so this was my first time experiencing her illustrations. I loved her panels, they were sharp and clean. And I loved the artwork, they were again very sharp and clean.

It was also a pleasant surprise to know that she wrote the comic strips based on her real relationship with John. How sweet is that?!

While the world is bombarded with negativity, and lots of humours have turned dark and snarky, this book is a breath of fresh air. Can’t wait to get my hand on the printed hardcopy when it’s out later!

If you’re in a happy long term romantic relationship these comics are super adorable! Didn’t take long to read through the volume but I did have a smile on my face while I was reading. You don’t need to have read anything else by her to get these strips, this volume stands on its own merits nicely.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Just crazy cute. That was a nice book to read. I have heard about Catana Chetwynd and I really wanted to discover her arts and comics. This book was a good opportunity and a great discovery that I have enjoyed.
It was funny and so lovely. The book's simple art style made it much more enjoyable, clear and easy to read and you don't realize how short it is until you're at the end of the book and asking for more.
This books just makes you happy and in love with this couple. I want to read Catana's other books now because like this one it makes you feel good.

It is a comic that deals with situations that happen when you live as a couple.
Between laughter and laughter, it shows us the day to day and the love between both protagonists.
There are comparisons between before and after living together. (I have identified myself several times). Not only that, but scenes in which they compare the personalities of both (for example, she forgets everything and he remembers even the smallest detail). Also, in relation to the title, it shows that one is not always formally dressed but lives in pajamas ❤
I think it is an excellent comic to enjoy as a couple and have fun remembering how the relationship began and how far it has come.

I have read Little ​Moments of Love book before and I liked it.
This collection is also cute, but I think sometimes she is repeated herself.
I really liked themes of the book, by the way how to spend the time at home, especially these days...

I purchased a copy of Little Moments of Love when it came out. This one is just as cute. I feel like the author has started to run out of the more generic couple material and so this book is more specific to her relationship, but I like that.

My single self felt lonely AF upon finishing this. IT IS SERIOUSLY SO ADORABLEEEEE AND CUTEEEE.
When I saw that this book was available to read now, I didn't hesitate. I knew that I was going to love it from the start. If I'm not mistaken, I've also read another book by the author many months ago.

I love love love this and it was my 90th read of the year. ;') 10 more till I reach 100.
Thank you, Netgalley and Andrew McMeel for the eArc.

Catana Chetwynd’s art is lovely to see (I also recommend Snug). These are charming illustrations that share slices of life. Beautiful work!

SO WORTH IT!!!!!


I find the cover quite different from the previous collections and it's quite refreshing!

Who doesn't love pick with all that lovely content?!

I do for sure!

This couple shows that it's okay to accept how perfect and imperfect your partner is. There's nothing like perfect or imperfect actually!

I love the tiny looking characters! They are cute and smol like always been! But I can also relate with the small hand thing and him asking her that silly question about it made me laugh like nuts 😂🤣

What might seem crazy to others work normal well for some. If you need endless examples, just pick up this book!

They are super cute, super adorable, super clingy (love it as opposed to in real life!), super romantic (not the super cheesy rom-com kind), super funny (not for the ones who will oppose to anything and everything). Well, like always, her comics never disappoint me. Well, it's genuine and that's exactly why it always works!


Thank you, the author and the publisher for this precious ARC! It means a lot to me!🖤

Full Disclosure: I both read the comic and am now writing this review whilst wearing fuzzy pajama pants. If I could give this book 10 stars, I would.

My thoughts about "In Love & Pajamas" :

THIS IS TOO ADORABLE!!! I definitely saw myself and my husband in a few of these pages. Seeing those moments on the pages gave me ALL THE FEELS!!! A few times as I was reading it, I ran over to my husband and said "LOOK!!!!" He smiled too.

I actually laughed out loud several times... like when...

- She gets the popcorn in his mouth
- He could tell she was driving his car
- He was freezing as he slept

This is such a relatable comic and a clear reflection of a wonderful, loving relationship. This would be an excellent gift for your partner for Valentine's Day, Anniversary, Birthday, or really a just because you want to make them smile. Perfect for millennial couples. Loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an eARC in exchange for honest review.

English/ Spanish
As adorable and funny as the author is used to.
It is impossible for people who have had a partner (and even those who have not) not see themselves reflected in any of these pages.
light and fun to laugh alone or as a couple, it is a series of vignettes where the daily life of a couple is shown, and I am not talking about this "perfect" version, NO, the real one, the rare but funny reality. I really liked it.
Thanks to #NetGalley for the #InLovePajamas e-ARC.

Español
Tan adorable y gracioso como ya nos tiene acostumbrados la autora.
Es imposible para las personas que hayan tenido una pareja ( e incluso las que no) no verse reflejado en alguna de estas paginas.
ligero y divertido para reírte solo o en pareja, es una serie de viñetas donde se muestra el dia a dia de una pareja, y no hablo de esta version " perfecta", NO, la real, la rara pero divertida realidad. Me gusto muchisimo.
Gracias a #NetGalley por el e-ARC de #InLovePajamas.
