This book is a collection of comics by Meg Adams, who I have never heard from. Apparently she goes by the name of artbymoga. At first I thought there was going to be nothing I could relate to in this. The book was described as a millennial take on marriage, adulthood and pet ownership. Gag me.

But, as I started to read it, I found some comics I could relate to. Such as one where the main character thanks her father for giving her a double chin and bad hearing. (My daughter has thanked me for poor eyesight, and shortness, so I can relate). Or one where the dog, not wanting to be ignored, decides to step on the computer keys for attention. Or the pair of them looking at a Christmas tree, and the man saying “That’s going to be a pain to take down.” Yes, that I can relate to.

So, a cute collection of comics that are not outrageous, but with relatable to all sorts of comics.

If you follow artbymoga, then you probably would want this just to have it. For everyone else, it is a pretty good collection of life, and you don’t have to be a millennial to understand it.

I breezed through these so fast! This comic collection is adorable, relatable, and highly entertaining. Recommended especially if you enjoy slice-of-life webcomics, as these fit that style.

If you like short sweet funny relatable comics, this is the perfect collection for you!
Meg Adams has a unique, beautiful, vibrant style that makes her comics memorable and so thoroughly fun to read.


Bonus point for the *laughs in Canadian* panel.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read an Advanced Copy.

This is a hilarious and witty graphic novel. I laughed out loud a few times, relating to the scene. This would make a fantastic birthday gift for your bestie!
The art is great, too! Vibrant and colorful; and the facial expressions are priceless!

Thank you #NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing to sending me the ebook #WhyAreYouLikeThis by Meg Adams (and husband Carson)

I loved this book!! I think anyone would enjoy it, but especially those in long-term relationships. It's very funny, very on point for all of life's weird little eccentricities. The text was easy to read and the drawing was bright and fun.
