Quirky and cute! The panels and artwork are well done and I absolutely loved how lighthearted and easy each story was. Everything has a small invisible string for a connection. The cemetery story is my favorite and made me giggle at the end.

Happy Endings by Lucie Bryon is a delightful graphic novel that captures the beauty of love, self-discovery, and embracing life’s imperfections. Through vibrant, expressive art, Bryon introduces us to an art student and her captivating model, two time cops navigating an unexpected new life, and a graveyard groundskeeper uncovering unexpected joys. Each story radiates warmth, sincerity, and a quiet celebration of life as it is. The thoughtfully chosen color palette perfectly complements the narrative. Happy Endings is a charming reminder that even amidst life’s uncertainties, beauty and happiness can be found.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lucie Bryon, and SARBACANE for this ARC in exchange for an Honest review.

There need be more stories that feel like you're getting a hug. There are multiple stories, and some parts were really funny. The colors felt whimsical and spring like, and I'm thinking about reading it again right away.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Happy Endings was such an adorable book. It felt like a cone of ice cream on a hot summer day: just sweet, fun and very refreshing. I loved every single one of the stories and the characters. The dynamics between them are so adorable, I basically giggled and grinned and awwww-ed my entire way through this book and immediately re-read it just to relive the joy I felt.

Even though they're lighthearted stories, each of them have some really important moments. For example, Boots & Toots is about welcoming news paths of life even if they weren't what we planned before. In Song of a Summer Day, I loved that Arthur's friends were instantly super supportive of his romance with Vincent.

The art also had a strong summer feel to it with its vibrant colors and the very free, flowy lines. It's a very minimalist style that lets the dialogue and the story really take place in your mind and it's also super cute.

I highly recommend this book to all those who are looking from something sweet and quick to read. This is also a perfect summer read!

Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC!

Sometimes life is hard and you just need to read a cute story where everything works out, and this book is exactly that. Happy Endings has 3 illustrated short stories that all have happy endings, and I loved them all. The first story was my personal favorite (though I’m biased towards any characters who are artists). The art was so cute, I especially loved how the facial expressions were drawn!

The first story, New Year’s Eve, was absolutely adorable! I loved the characters and their sweet, heartwarming journey in this short tale. It left me wanting to dive deeper into their lives and witness their growth and development. The illustrations were equally charming and beautifully brought the story to life.

The second story, Ocean, featuring Toots and Boots, was just as delightful! Their bond was so endearing, and I loved how they faced every obstacle together. The story felt fresh and original, keeping me hooked from start to finish—I truly couldn’t put it down! The ending left me a bit emotional, especially since it seemed like things were finally coming together for Toots and Boots.

In One Summer Day Song, I was completely captivated! This story was so engaging and tugged at my heartstrings. I found myself eager to uncover what would happen next. One of my favorite quotes, “I think about the things I love in life that I’ll miss in death,” stayed with me long after I finished reading—it was so powerful and emotional.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel. It’s officially one of my favorites, and I know I’ll be revisiting it again and again.

loved!!!!!!
