I'm a huge fan of Catana Comics online and have been known to tag my other half in a few on Facebook, which is why I'd already seen most of these comics on the soppy-nerd circuit already but it's a gorgeous collection, I think this is the perfect Valentine/Anniversary gift for the softie in your life. Be warned though, this collection is very, very, very sweet and sentimental (as well as funny and weird) so don't pick it up if you're not comfortable with the warm fuzzies.

This was phenomenal! I've seen her comics here and there on Facebook, shared by friends. But I don't think I ever followed her myself. I just thought this was so sweet, I had to give it a look.

Awwwww!!! I love it! The comics are simple and nice to look at, the moments captured are generally sweet and sometimes hilarious, and they were clean enough that when my son popped up and started reading along, I didn't have to freak out.

I absolutely recommend you check this out!

A tiny girl is in love with a bearded man who towers above her. Thankfully he loves her too, enough to put up with her occasionally over-the-top weirdness. How small is she? She’s so tiny she fits in his hoodie. . . while he’s wearing it.
Each page is in the standard four-panel comic strip format, and there’s rarely any dialogue, but they are superb in showing the little things in relationships that make humans fall in love, or stay in love, despite obstacles. It’s sweet and charming and most of all hilarious.
The one that really got to me was when she says she remembered everything. . . while he waits for her to come back for her purse. The almost-embarrassed smile is just perfect, especially considering how broad the artwork is.
Sometimes she’s a little mean and tries to pass it off as endearing, like putting her cold hands on him, or zip-tying him to a chair. I don’t know if her fetish is his butt or his beard. . . though I suppose it could be both. I definitely don’t want to spend hump days with her. Thankfully the cuteness outweighs those moments, like the “It’s my lips!” routine. There are tiny touches throughout that makes this all the more special, like when she grabs onto the edge of the panel with her tiny adorable hands. His best moment is showing off his kissing-forehead magic to his friend; his thumb is the perfect capper.
“Nope. Never letting go.”
The quick shower thing was right on the mark; at least the author can make fun of herself.
And that’s probably the cutest author pic ever. . .
4.5 pushed up to 5/5

That's the sweetest and cutest little st of comics, they're funny and cute, some are very relatable. Loved this.

This series of comic strips is simply adorable and all too relatable. Throughout giggles, and moments of pure adoration, I found myself shouting "yes, me too!". Catana hilariously captured the intimate moments of relationships such as the joys of staying in on a weekend night together and the joys of stroking a male partner's facial hair. Little Moments of Love is a book that reminds us all to appreciate the little things we share with the ones we love.

A little review for a little book
Wow I have to stop with the cutesie books.

This isn't as great as Sarah Scribbles for me, but very relatable. My brain says this is a 3 star book but my heart....well, it also says 3 stars because although this is cute and relatable, it falls flat and ultimately, brings about no new or beautiful realisations.

Thing is, this is a pretty exclusive little comic. It's only really relatable for people who have been in a relationship with each other for a long time. Its a little niche, but if you belong to the niche it's pretty cute.

I'd seen a few of these comic strips online before and really enjoyed them, so I thought reading the book would be fun. However, whilst some of them were amusing, it was a bit too cutesy and twee to read all in one go. I would have liked to have seen friendships and family relationships as well as just the couple. There are definitely some good comic strips in the book, but it's a bit much to read in one sitting.

This was so absolutely adorable! I truly loved all of them and they were so relatable.
I'm really looking forward to more comics of Catana. They are the best :D

Even if I already read some similar comics on the web, this one also made me smile and I had fun while reading it and comparing my love life to their.

Anche se ho giá letto qualcosa di simile in rete, anche questo fumetto mi ha fatto ridere e mi sono divertita a leggerlo e a paragonare la mia storia d'amore con la loro.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I thought I would snap up this book because I follow the lovely Catana on Instagram, her comics are hilarious and make me smile whenever I see them.

Every couple or every girl at least will be able to enjoy this book as these things are things all couples experience.

Enjoy the little moments.

The illustrations of everyday life as a couple was adorable. In a relationship you think you are strange and special together, but while reading this book you realize that others are too.

The drawings are cute, and you understand the story from them as well.

THIS WAS HILARIOUS.

The burrito wrap and the 'how he argues vs. how i argue' are just too accurate for me. I loved the funky style of art. I thought it added real character and individuality. Furthermore, I loved the stories. They were honestly so true. This is what real love looks like. It's funny, slightly odd and overall makes your heart so warm.

The author did a really good job with this book. I loved it :) Humorous & relatable (maybe a bit too much)!

An accurate and adorable look at modern love. I see my own relationship in many of these and agree that it is both wonderful and weird.

Where do I begin with this comic?! It's so simple and so brilliant. I giggled a lot and was way more invested than I thought I would be. The tiny stories this comic consists of are incredibly cute and very relatable - in fact so relatable, that I constantly interrupted my boyfriend to show him yet another situation that was "so us". The drawing style is minimalistic and there isn't a lot of text, but you still have no trouble at all understanding the situation and atmosphere. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised and will definitely be recommending Little Moments of Love.

Twee and too precious, repetitive, and really oddly drawn. I kept thinking of the characters as fish people due to the bulbous eyeballs and completely round heads. Some of these interactions are creepy and way too needy if you stop to think about them, but that's hard to do because everything is so lightweight and visually unappealing. My brain kept wanting to run away - perhaps a good use for this would be as an insomnia fighter. It's pitched as humor, but that would require pacing and insight.

These comics make my heart smile every time. They are so realtable, fun and true! You will see yourself and you relationship in each and everyone of the stories. 10/10 would recommend

I definitely wasn't the target audience for this one, as I didn't find a single panel to like in the whole book. But it really wasn't much to pick from: both the so called story and the so called art are meaningless and excruaciatingly repetitive.

I had definitely seen Catana Chetwynd's art floating around the Internet prior to reading this collection, so it was nice to finally put a name to it! Her drawings illustrating everyday moments of life with her boyfriend are adorable and very easy to relate to, even if your own relationship is a little different. This is a quick, super cute read.

I have been following Catana Chetwynd's web comics online for quite a while, and was unbelievably excited when I found out she was finally coming out with a collection of her comics in book form. I knew I just had to read this one! As predicted, I simply loved this book. The comics are lighthearted, and relate-able. Perfect for fans of Sarah Anderson, or Yasmine Surovec. This is an absolute 5/5 in my eyes!

I received this from #NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved the Catana cartoons ever since I saw one shared on facebook. This collection did not disappoint! It was great to see so many of her relatable scenes all in one place and it would make a great gift for a cute couple, or as a wedding gift for that couple that just... really likes each other! The humor and sweetness are throughout and reminded me of so many feelings from when my husband and I were first dating.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
