Having seen some of Meg Adams' comics before I was eager to pick up a whole collection of them. So many of her comics are easy to relate to whether it be regarding her relationships, her pets or her personality. It was a quick and fun read that had me laughing the whole time, while also often nodding in agreement with the comics. I really love how she's able to communicate things in a short format that is so relatable and humorous.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was honestly such a good time, the comics are very relatable and will lighten your mood. You may or may not agree with the author's favourite season or Halloween decorations but it will make you smile. It's a collection of everyday experiences of the couple with their pets, seasons, holidays and so much more.
The illustrations are cute and are presented in a 2-4 panel comic style. I will look forward to more work from the artist author in future.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced readers copy of ‘Why Are You Like This?’. I follow Meg on Instagram so when I saw this book available I knew I had to read and review it! I love her comics, they are so funny and relatable! Her artwork is very pleasing to my eyes as well which makes me happy. This was such a fun and quick read. Thank you again to NetGalley for the advanced readers copy of ‘Why Are You Like This?’!

Thanks to Andrew McMeel Publishing for the free e-ARC.
This collection of comics is utterly delightful. I laughed so hard at so many of them. It is a fun collection of Meg and Carson and a glimpse into their day to day life and also goes through the seasons of the year. The artwork is beautiful and funny. Adams captured so many different emotions in each of these comics. This is a book I will definitely revisit again and again.

Why Are You Like This? by Meg Adams is so on point! I read this whole book with a huge smile plastered on my face. It is so relatable and funny. I had so many "oh my gosh that's so me!" moments. The illustrations are wonderful and without a doubt add to the comedic genius. Would definitely recommend!

This collection is funny, endearing, and endlessly relatable. I had plenty of “Oh my gosh, that’s ME!!!” moments. There’s a nice dose of encouragement and comfort sprinkled throughout. All in all, a lovely book.

Go through a year of comics or memes with a millennial couple and their two fur babies. The situations are funny and relatable. Meg is an extrovert and it plays off well with her introvert husband. I love her body drawings showing curves and imperfections. I am not familiar with the artist or her instagram page but I will become a follower. This is a fun and quick read available March 7, 2023. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the temporary eARC in exchange for an honest review

It was great, I loved these little comics!
The humor was hilarious, I'm sure everyone will find themselves in at least one of the situations the author experienced which makes everything so relatable. The art style was also very cute, and I'm sure this book will be the perfect gift for your friends/family.

I would like to thank the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for the ARC of this book. I read an advanced copy of this book, so the final edition of the book might be slightly different. All thoughts and opinions are my own, as always.

I picked this up after being recommended it by a friend, and it was honestly super cute! It's a collection of comics that generally just span a page, and they cover a wide range of seasons, topics, and feelings. While I didn't necessarily love every one, most were quite funny/cute, with a few stand-outs! The art style also fits well with the content, making it all feel quite 'silly', but in a grown-up/more mature way. Overall, it was just really solid, and a lot of fun!

I feel like these sort of comics could be made into a really fun daily/weekly tear-off calendar, especially some of the seasonal comics! While I still enjoyed reading it all at once, this comic style feels more like something you should read a few pages of at a time, or see a themed page per day (it could also work as a coffee table book, for that reason!) It kind of felt like I burned through it (which I mean, I technically did), and I feel like spreading it out over time would make it more memorable and even more enjoyable!

Why Are You Like This? is a collection of comics by Meg Adams, better known as artbymoga on Instagram. I have been a long time fan of her work, and this collection includes many of her more well known comics. The comics progress along a year, and are relatable little slice of life comics. I had already read most of these comics and would have liked to see some more new content in this collection, but it was fun to revisit some of my favorites. A collection of fun and relatable comics, perfect for any millennials in your life,

This unexpectedly made me laugh.

Short, comic strip episodes from the lives of two millenials whose children are two dogs. She shops for Halloween decor the whole year round, while he goes for normal coffee and regrets it when he sees the alternative.

Would read more by the artist.
The arc was provided by the publisher.

5 stars.

I literally picked this up because of the title and cover art. Zero regrets. I couldn't put it down until I read the entire thing (even though it's already way too late), and I will probably be re-reading it again tomorrow and following the author on all the her socials.

Hilarious and über-relatable - this is basically an illustrated copy of the funniest, best conversations you have with your bestie(s), about life, the universe and everything - especially how opposites attract, dorky geeks are awesome, doggos are the literal best, and life gets away from us sometimes.

The only thing I really don't get is why everyone's noses go super long and skinny when they are caught in "undesirable" emotions. But, that's just an illustrator's style choice, and definitely not one that I would dock any stars for.

So much gratitude to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC copy of this graphic novel, in exchange for my honest review. In fact, I now cannot wait for this to come out so that I can buy a copy for all of my friends!

Pretty cute and definitely relatable. Some of these I had to show my boyfriend, excitedly yelling “it’s us!”

At times, the artwork style wasn’t my fave but I appreciated the talent and creativity!

Pretty funny. I didn’t find many parts to directly relate to, but I predict many people will love this.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

(4.5/5) I follow Meg Adams (@artbymoga) on Instagram, and when I saw she was putting out a book, I knew I HAD to request the ARC. I love slice of life comics, and this is perfect for fans of Catana Chetwynd, author of Little Moments of Love. I would honestly say that this book is probably *more* relatable, and I think anyone could find something to which they would say "lol same" within its pages. My only complaint (as probably with most graphic novels) is that this book is short, and I've seen a few of the comics on Adams' instagram before BUT don't let that keep you from reading this book. It had me laughing to the point of tears and I don't want to admit how many pages I made my husband read because I'm pretty sure some of those comics Meg pulled right from my own life experience. I also appreciated the body positivity/body neutrality and self-affirmation threaded throughout and found it really encouraging. This is a great, quick feel good collection of comics, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Charming and silly and utterly relatable for a millennial audience. My spouse ended up mildly annoyed by the number of times I shoved my phone in his face to say "look it's you!"

Meg's humor is often self-deprecating, but balances nicely with her message of celebrating yourself. Her art is goofy and lovable, drawing realistic bodies with stretch marks and fat and unflattering facial expressions. While both she and her partner are white, the other characters who populate her comics represent a range of people.

This little book is a joy.

This is a cute little book of memes basically. I didn’t understand or relate to about 60% of the jokes, but it still seemed like a cute little book. I felt like I was missing the point to most of the jokes.

I've seen some of Meg Adams' comics online in the past and have always loved how funny and deep relatable they are 🤣 It's fantastic that these are being published in a book now!

Thanks so much NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this arc!

I am very clearly the targeted audience - I thought this was hilarious and so relatable! I loved Meg's ability to make fun of herself and her general sense of humor, but also thought the tender moments were so perfectly shown!

Perfect for fans of Sarah Scribbles and Catana Chetwynd comics. Fantastic one page, slice of life comics about relatable situations. I will be definitely keep my eye out for further comic collections from Adams!
