You don't realize how much you need an easy, humorous read until you make your way through books like this. Some of the inner thoughts (or I guess outer printing) was so relatable it was like looking at myself and my partner in a mirror. I too am guilty of fact-checking life knowledge, and I was thoroughly amused by this shared universal perspective I was given page after page. I also enjoyed the story narrative of moving in and marriage as a juxtaposition to the one-shot, single panel, quick jokes, and it made everything immensely more enjoyable. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the physical version, and now must read Tommy Siegel's other works as well. If you need a chuckle and some anthropomorphized thoughts, grab this book for sure!

Thank you Tommy Siegel, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC!

Really fun short graphic novel. There were so many pages I wanted to screenshot and send to people because they were either hilarious, very true, and most often both.

It's a quicky, it's fun, it reminded me of the memes my friends and I love to send each other. It doesn't matter if you're single or in a relationship, a lot of the pages will still be relatable.

Hilarious and painfully accurate! 😂 This is an enjoyable collection of reflections about love, life, relationships and the dating scene, with some pop culture references thrown in. I like the use of candy hearts instead of people with faces. A cute and fun read that gave me a good laugh!

This book was very humorous and entertaining. I thought each scenario was relatable and funny, and it was a quick read. I would definitely check out more books like this one, even just a sequel.

I never imagined that a picture book could make me laugh so much! This book navigates all stages of relationships from online dating, new relationships, moving in together, engagement, wedding planning, married couples, Movie couples and more. As someone in the dating world myself, I related to so many of these. The illustrations are really cute and colorful too. It was so quick to get through and so fun to read!

This was super cute and funny. I would love if candy hearts said some of the things that were written in this book. Witty and relatable you’ll be sure to love it.

If Candy Hearts could talk, they would say some crazy things. This book was like what the heck! One heart would have something nice on it, while the other one would not. This is realistic to the way people think sometimes. This book will give you a laugh for sure. The art was also very cute for what the book was, everything went together very well.

I loved this graphic novel. My favorite holiday candy is Sweethearts. I love the comical messages on the hearts and I now follow the author on Instagram which is loaded with candy heart conversations.

I picked this book up on a whim and I'm so glad I did. This is a selection of the creators Candy Hearts comics, which seem a bit familiar but I'm not sure if I've read any of them before. Humorous glimpses into what may be going on inside a person's head in different moments like watching TV together, walking the dog, or eating alone in a restaurant. Perfect for a coffee table book!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for feedback

This was a fun little book. Highlighting hidden relationship clashes and conflicts through candy heart messages is a super creative idea, and it was both a little sad and entertaining to read. I especially enjoyed the Star Wars themed panel.

These cartoons reminded me so much of Nathan Pyle's "Strange Planet" comics. They are hilarious and oh-so relatable (despite the jokes being conveyed through candy hearts).

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

This was a pretty fun collection of silly comics. Some were hilarious, while some others were just so-so. Overall enjoyable.

I am a big fan of Tommy Siegel, and this book did not disappoint. Every page was better than the next. I found myself laughing page after page, and nodding my head. I would highly recommend it for yourself or someone that has a great sense of humor! If you have Instagram, definitely follow him his content is awesome.

Thanks for this copy Netgalley!

I love the art style! I thought it was only gonna be filled with generic candy hearts but there are a few surprises inside. The panels are mostly hilarious and relatable to a certain age group (to which I am in). A handful of misses and mehs but still a pretty enjoyable read over all.

Reading this one without any expectations and turned out it is really funny!! I ever saw some of the comic strips somewhere. Those Candy Hearts are like revealing the truth behind some awkward moments. I got attacked because I found it relatable with my experience.

This book is a quick read. Only 100ish pages with comics. I guess you can read it in one sitting.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

"Are we too boring?... Nope just boring enough."
Surprisingly cute, short, and sweet, with just enough humor to make you want to sit and read each comic back to back in a sitting.

This was stupidly cute and laugh-out-loud hilarious. I love how every heart was tailored for a different scenario and I could easily picture that scenario playing out.

Amazing! I immediately went and bought Tommy's other books. I saw myself in some of these Candy hearts (I maybe a walking red flag). I will be ordering this book for myself and for others. This is a great, cute, and quick read. A book for every millennial!

Thanks Netgalley and publisher but am I the only one who doesn’t really get it? I honestly don’t know the point of the convos with the hearts unless it was certain topics but yeah it didn’t feel nothing to me…
