This was a cute and relatable collection of comics about Mochi the pug. As a dog mom, I can relate to a lot of these and had a good chuckle at Mochi's antics. I enjoyed how much of Mochi's personality came across each time he appeared on the page. Because this is a collection of short comics, there wasn't much of a storyline and some of the themes did get a bit repetitive. I think this would more enjoyable to flip through this in small pockets of time than to read it all at once.

An adorable little book about life with a precocious little pup. I found it very relatable as a dog owner and had several moments where I exclaimed "my dog does that!". I would recommend this to all dog lovers of all ages

Another book of comics about the life of a pet owner, and honestly I'll never get tired of these books. This is the story of Gemma and her pug Mochi. There are some coloured pages (which I liked more) but the majority is black and white. The art style isn't my favourite, but the story and comics themselves of Mochi, who prefers his mom Gemma over her dad and his adorable personality, made it an enjoyable and breezy, fun read.

I thank Netgalley and Andrews McMeel publishing for the digital ARC.

Living With Mochi is a very refreshing take on the day-to-day style of graphic novels. Each part is clearly defined but still ties in well with the others, and the little stories themselves are told quite well through the illustrations.

The art is adorable and easy to interpret. I love Mochi’s sass and personality that’s heavily expressed throughout the novel. There were many stories or ideas I hadn’t seen expressed in other graphic novels. It is nice to read something different and unexpected.

Fun story about life with a pug.
Fast, easy and funny read that has some entertaining aspects.
Overall, a cute read that will make you smile.
Thank you to NetGallery, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was so dang adorable! My dog and I could relate to so many things! There were various moments that I caught myself smiling like a lunatic and a few even got a surprised chuckle out of me. The art style is simple and clean. I would have loved it even more if everything had been in full color. Overall, this passed the time quite nicely and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves dogs.

Living With Mochi would make the perfect gift for any pug lover, dog lover, or just plain pet lover around. Inside we find quick little moments into the daily life of Mochi the pug who loves his mom more than anything and has tons of cute quirks. This is a fast read that will make anyone who enjoys animals smile. Looking forward to more adventures with Mochi!

Thank you to Net Galley for this ARC.

I am a fan of the comic so, of course, I had to read the book! I had a horrible day and picked this up as it was bound to bring a smile to my face. And it did. I loved reading Mochi being adorable along with the humans and relaxing with the book. It's also a quick read but yet you could set it down and come back to it if you wanted to as well. It's a must-buy for those who love pugs and/or dogs in general.

WOW! This is just like it was written about my life with my own dogs.
This is a collection of web comics. The graphics were cute! Some were in black and white while others were colorful. I liked how she mixed the b&w and color throughout. It is about her life with her dog. As I mentioned previously, I could relate to most of the comics. I laughed so much. I loved how the dog is a character too. You could actually see what he was thinking as well.
I will be recommending this book for a long time. If you want a cute, quick, and funny book- this is the book for you.

Publisher's blurb: The comics chronicle Mochi’s life from puppyhood to adulthood, featuring Mochi's unrequited dog friendships, his jealousy of his two dog-brothers, and his love of food. Readers and dog parents will love this humorous tale of a sincerely loyal friendship between one grumpy pug and his adoring owner.

Absolutely adorable! Makes me want to go out and buy a pug just so I can name him Mochi. You don't have to be a dog lover to relate to Gene's life with Mochi, all fur parents can relate to how they take over our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way.
I really enjoyed this and even laughed out loud at some of Mochi's antics and even recognized my cats in a few.
Recommend, especially for these days where smiles can be hard to find.

Thanks to @NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the free copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion

Thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for allowing me to take a look at this graphic novel!

It’s a cute story, especially if you are an animal lover but I feel that it could have been improved if the author introduced like who’s who in the story. Besides that we know she adopted Mochi to become a part of the family (not everyone agrees and that’s ok too!) and how it is rewarding to have a dog around the house to keep ya company (again not everyone has the same mindset). That was the only thing I liked about the novel. The art is simple enough and it does show to be a feel good story but it just didn’t match to my personal expectations. I’ll give it 3 out of 5...

I have followed Gemma on Instagram for a while and always love her comic style posts about her adorable Pug Mochi.
This book encapsulates everything that makes her Instagram so fun to read. Mochi is drawn in the most adorable way, and every little story details the super special bond between a dog and its owner.
Maybe I am biased as a fellow Pug owner, but i always find her stories so relatable and pure.
If you are looking for a great book to flip through to warm your heart this is the book for you.

This is such an adorable comic collection. The art is adorable and I love Mochi's characterization. I recommend to any pet parent.

I requested this comic without knowing anything about it just that it was about dogs and that was more than enough for me. My dog is the best thing in my life so reading a comic book about what it is like to have a dog was the formula for success in my opinion.

In Living with Mochi, Gemma Gene celebrates fur-parenthood and the extreme love you experience when you look into your dog’s eyes.

This comic book is easy to read, I read it in less than 1 hour and still it became one of my favorite books. Living with Mochi is a nearly perfect representation of what is it like to be a dog owner and treating your dog like your child. I had to show my mom almost all of the scenarios the author depicted because I truly felt represented.

Living with Mochi made me laugh out loud several times, Gemma Gene managed to perfectly describe what we think goes on in our dog´s head and all of the scenarios were things I could picture my fog doing without a doubt.

I have every intention on reading everything that the author comes out with and as soon as this comic book is released I am going to get myself a copy. Truly an outstanding read and a story that will make your heart warm.

Overall Living with Mochi is a fast, fun, cute and realistic comic book about what it is like to be a dog owner. I truly recommend this book if you are looking for a fun story, cute drawing and an overall good laugh.

Living With Mochi was an absolutely adorable read. As someone with three dogs, I could strongly relate to having pets with Mochi's big personality (and lack of boundaries...). The art style was cute and simple and worked very well for the humorous and lighthearted tone throughout the book, and I loved how the book was split up.

I would have liked to see an 'End' chapter to parallel the 'Beginning' chapter, as the book felt like it ended slightly abruptly. Other than that, the book was very cute and perfect for pet owners with dogs who are convinced they're human or really anyone who adores dogs and pugs!

Living with Mochi chronicles the day to day life of Mochi and his Mami. Mochi is an adorable, slightly overweight, not-at-all lazy (cough) fawn pug. The comics are so sweet and relatable--I don't have a pug, but I do have a smaller dog, and could relate to most of the comics--the begging for human food, the sleeping in positions that seemingly are designed to make it as uncomfortable as possible for humans, and holy cow, the boundaries chapter! Gemma could have been writing about my dog instead of hers.

This book is a must read for anyone who loves pugs, and really dog lovers in general. Mochi is adorable and his antics are hilarious.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

Hahah - this book is so so so funny! If you've ever had a dog that truly believes it is a human you need to read this book. Although it has been years since I've had a fur baby, this was so relatable. Mochi really is a baby; not a puppy.

Adorable comic about the joys and trials of living with a pet. Mochi is a pug who rules his house. I can relate, I have a cat that rules mine.

Good for pet owners and animal lovers.

Living With Mochi is a comic about a dog and his relationship with his owner. It’s quick to read and is absolutely hilarious! I 100% fell in love with Mochi.

I was granted eARC access to Living With Mochi by Gemma Gené through the publisher Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

Living with Mochi is a collection of comics about Mochi the pug and the life of a pet owner presented in a roughly chronological order (getting Mochi comes first, etc.) and it's absolutely hilarious! Every pet parent knows the woes of convincing their pet to accept the type/amount of food they're given, and every pet parent has experienced either too much or too little affection from said pet at different times. These little comics with Mochi illustrate those joys with honest humour and beautifully simplistic drawings that will warm any animal lover's heart.

You may already know about Mochi and his talented human Gemma through their various online presences and absolutely adorable merch, but this is your chance to get a whole lot of pure Mochi stories all in one offline place. I highly recommend this to both Mochi's fans and all pet/animal lovers alike.
