This comic is really cute and fun to read. I gotta say that I totally understand the *plant mom vibes*.
The illustrations are very pretty and I love the fact that the dogs are almost always included.
I recommend as a quick read.
CUTE. FUNNY. RELATABLE.
I have followed Meg on Instagram for awhile and was soooo happy to hear she was putting her amazing talents into a book! Many of these comic strips made me actually laugh out loud. The way she draws herself and partner is hilarious and also always fitting. She has a way of being able to match the dialogue with the faces of the characters that I just love. And let's not forgot about those dogs, I mean, their personalities were jumping off the page. The biggest thing about this book that got me is how freaking relatable it is. Her and her partner are eerily similar to me and my partner. I felt like I could have written these ideas as well because many of them have literally happened to us. Or maybe she somehow knew about the things me and partner do and say and react and then put it in a book. So that was kind of strange but also such a fun experience. I don't know the number of times I had to stop and show my partner and say, "Hey look it's us!" Great work Meg!
I received an advance review copy through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Big thanks to NetGalley & Andrew McMeel Publishing for providing an ARC for free, in exchange for an honest review.
This comic book is seriously amazing! It's an incredible quick read about being a Millenial and has everything what's needed:
- funny one-pager situations
- awesome art direction - its style reminded me of Scott Pilgrim
- great colors! Subtle and tasteful, not provocative or annoying
- some situations were just so relatable, I literally laughed out loud and showed my hubby that HEY IT'S US
- oh, and I liked how the whole comic went through the seasons just like how a year passes
I'll definitely buy it upon publishing and I highly recommend it. I'm excited to hear more about the author and her comics.
This was my first graphic novel and it did not disappoint. I don't think I'll be reading alot of these in the future. But this one has made sure it will not be my last.
I really liked this, but I won't get it due to my patron base. I will be sending the information to other libraries because it is hilarious and relatable!
I have been a fan of Meg Adam’s for a while now. I discovered her on Instagram and followed her account because her art made my laugh. Once I knew she had a book coming out, I knew I needed to get it. And it did not disappoint. I absolutely loved it! I can’t wait for more
4 stars
I read this as soon as i got my hands on it and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was absolutely adorable and funny.
I really enjoyed the art style and the simplicity of it.
Definitely a fantastic graphic novel/comic book.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a delightful read! I enjoyed how relatable a lot of the content was. I also appreciated how the comics were told through the passing seasons. Getting to see the couple navigate the holidays and different preferences with daily life felt heartwarming and real. This is a book that would be a great gift to give to friends and family, and I think would be a great coffee table read for guests!

This was cute and fun to read. The illustrations were adorable and well done. I do wish this would have been able to have been viewed on my kindle!
Love this artist XD
This collection of comics is absolutely great (and relatable!). This is the perfect book to keep on hand to give you a good laugh and brighten your day.
I have tried multiple times on different devices but cannot open this file, and it's unfortunately not supported by the NetGalley app. I really was excited to read this as it seems like it is completely up my street!
Giving 5 stars until I read it - as it's not the author's fault!
Carson and Meg are complete opposites. Carson is a level-headed introvert. Meg is an animated extrovert. This comic collection shares some of their adventures in their relationship with their two dogs. This relatable collection shares everything from coffee preferences to the trials of anxiety and mental illness.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cute and dorky collection. Gotta say, even though I’m an introvert, I found myself identifying with Meg several times throughout this collection. It’s fun. It’s quirky. There are dogs! Winwinwin. It can be read in a single setting and revisited when you need a laugh or to feel seen. Definitely recommend this one.
I really related to this collection of comics. Overall, the collection had me laughing and smiling from beginning to end. From comics about being a dog owner, to a spouse, to a fall lover, and more, there’s a little bit of everything. As I turned the pages, I felt like I kept seeing little bits of me on the page. A particular favorite comic shows Meg asking if her husband wants to take the dog on a W-A-L-K and then the dog pummeling the husband when he asks why she’s spelling out “walk”. My dog does the exact same thing!
Hilarious and incredibly relatable with an unique style and colorful artwork. I've never heard of this artist before but their take on what millennials go through on a daily basis and the expectations vs. reality of being in a relationship amazed me. I personally related a lot to the allergies one and their passion for Halloween. Plus, the dogs sometimes became the stars of the show for me. They were so cute!!!
I'll definitely check out more comics from the author and go follow them right now!
I loved this graphic novel. Meg Adams's comics are so relatable and funny. I could read it again and again.
Thank you Netgalley & publisher for this ARC Why are You Like This?
For anybody that finds themselves asking the above question - you'll likely be a fan of the humour of this comic. It is perfect for brightening your week, or even a particularly challenging day!
l found that even though I am a fan of the web comic already, reading it all in one go was a bit much - almost like overdosing on sickly sweet chocolate. I look forward to seeing it in print format!
I love Meg Adams. I have been a fan of her art-style and comics for a while now, and the moment I knew she is going to publish a book, i needed to read it.
Meg writes and draws what every mid/late 20-something person goes through their life: our misfortunes, thoughts, dreams, fears, what makes us laugh, our small wins, almost everything that goes through our minds and really specific situations that all of us can relate; but she does it with style and in a way that makes you feel that you are not alone, that someone gets it.
Thanks Meg
10/10 no notes. I feel like a LOT of this was taken directly out of my brain. I feel so seen. The illustrations were top notch!
I really wanted to read this book, but when I downloaded it, nothing showed up after multiple times. I do not believe this is the author or publisher’s fault.
Absolutely 5 stars!
This is going down as one of my favorite comic collections.
It is so funny, relatable, and well put together.
We follow Meg and her partner throughout the year and they share such relatable moments.
I was spamming my friends with the comics I was reading the entire time.
Well worth the read!
