Very apt critique of life's minutiae. The author did a good job of poking at the random absurdities of our regular day to day. I really liked the illustrations!

Very negative for no reason. Didn't like the art. Idk who would buy this. I thought this was a silly picture book about milk based on the cover.

Simplistic, yet charming. It's the kind of book I can see being best available in a small "flip book" sized format. If I were a fan of the author/illustrator, I could see myself owning a copy, but otherwise I'll just go to Instagram and re-read content there.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* This was a really funny book! i would actually buy this for myself and as a gift lmao

A collection of panels sending up the more complicated and ridiculous aspects of modern life, I certainly recognized some of the absurdities and offered up the occasional rueful chuckle (choosing one's email signoff was probably my favorite part), but I didn't find this to be riotously funny. Nor did it draw any conclusions or offer much in the way of perspective. My reaction was mostly, "Huh. Yeah, there are a lot of weird milks now." It's not that it's an unpleasant book, and I"m sure the humor will really land for some, but for me it didn't make much of an impact.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

I don't know, this was too cynical for my taste. I think that there are some bad things about today, but there's been bad things about every generation and it's silly to complain about like, the number of types of milk you can buy.

A mildly humorous book that may seem funnier to those just starting out in the workforce. I'm not trying to attract social media followers nor do I pay attention to the gazillion types of milk now (but there are a lot). It's a really quick read. The art's a bit goofy and kind of fugly but fits the theme.

Given that one of my favorite books is “All My Friends Are Dead,” this book really hit the spot! It had me giggling and saying “lol so true bestie,” along with the pages. 10/10 would recommend, a very quick funny read!

Cute book on today's First-world problems. Yes, there are too many milk choices and are they technically even milk? And just why does a salad cost so dang much? Just things that make you go "hmmm".
I didn't laugh out loud but I did have to grin at some of the observations.
Thanks to @netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Cute! I enjoyed the comic and found the story to be lovely. The illustrations were great and very relatable. Some of the pages were a little boring to look at with just words but I think a physical copy would be alleviate this problem. I think this is a great quick book to read when you need a laugh.

Bright colorful panels combined with simple but meaningful sentences! A joy to read, short but fun. Thank you for the e-ARC!

This was just okay for me. I think the best thing was the cover, which is quite funny and cute! The bulk of the book consists of a lot of one-liners, sarcastically commenting on annoyances from daily life, like the ever-changing algorithms of social media or the fact that dogs are often better dressed than you. It's cute, but not laugh-out-loud in my opinion. The art is also just okay for me, but that's really subjective. You might really enjoy the style. I would say get this from the library when you need a chuckle.

Super cute book! Made me chuckle! I would purchase this to give to friends as a fun birthday gift or for those of us who can never figure out what we want or like and is a fun spin on how things are ver evolving.

I couldn’t finish this book. I didn’t like the illustrations and it wasn’t funny. Not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn’t it.

The premise of There Are Too Many Milks is good. Being an adult is hard. There are countless decisions to make at every turn and they make life overwhelming and exhausting at times. A few of the pages were funny, but most were just "meh". It's a fun coffee table book for guests to flip through but it's not something I'd reach for more beyond the initial read-through.

Thanks to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for an advanced reading copy of this book.

"There Are Too Many Milks" is a quick compilation of the travails of being an adult today, told in one-off comic form. From observations about content calendars to finding the right sign-off for emails, if you're a young-ish adult in the 2020s, you'll likely recognize some—or many—of these moments. (Among other things: I've never been a huge social media person, but I have created content calendars for work before...and, as a lactose-intolerant tea lover, I have tried many, many different types of milk. Although, to be fair, I don't think there are too many milks so much as too many imperfect milks.)

This is very much designed to be a gift book, or one that is kept on a coffee table for people to leaf through while bored (or in the bathroom—do people still do that? This would be an excellent choice for a book to be kept on a shelf in the bathroom). Because the book is so art-heavy, though, enjoyment will likely depend heavily upon how well you enjoy the art style. It's very comic-style, like some comics you might see in the paper—simple, with exaggerated features on the people; almost every spread can stand alone, because there isn't a narrative thread beyond "adulting is hard." Not my preferred style of art, then, but something that might be a better fit for those who like...I'm not sure how to put this. Characters drawn to be not-pretty for the sake of humor? It would be interesting to see a version of this that worked with recurring characters, perhaps a handful of reluctant adults going through a week in their lives and encountering, you know, pointless gender reveal parties and too many milks.

This was not was what I expected. I thought this book would be longer comics strips about the absurd things adults have to do, but it was often just sentences accompanying the drawings.
The drawings were fun and it was sometimes relatable, but I didn’t find this book funny. It was actually sort of sad at times, because it talked a lot about social network and appearances, and it relied a lot on stereotypes that we should try to deconstruct. The books doesn’t really denounces the things it mentions, it’s more a case of “when you’re an adult, you have to do that”, but it doesn’t really do a good job of deconstructing the things in question. We know they are things that annoy the author because it’s the whole purpose of the book, but it never really say that they’re things no one should have to do.
It was short and overall entertaining, but not the kind of comics that makes me laugh or stays with me.

4 stars for a funny and relatable collection of comics~

These are some funny and relatable comics! I feel like they are more geared towards the Millennial generation [hi, Millennial here :)] but could definitely be relative to other generations as well. From having WAY too many available choices in milk to all of the ridiculously expensive skincare and beauty products the market makes us buy, these are struggles for many of us. I really liked the hilarious illustrations and expressions within.

I would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me access to this Advanced Reader's Copy.

This was an interesting book that poked fun at some of the "regular" day to day things of living in the 2020s. It was fun to see some of the absurdities we live with on a daily basis.

There Are Too Many Milks is a cute sarcastic graphic novel that is basically #firstworldproblems illustrated.

Although the illustration style isn’t exactly favorite I still found them cute.

I did have a few laughs but it wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be.

All in all a short, quick read that pokes fun at current events and life in 2023.
