I loved Soppy, so I was THRILLED to see a new book from Philippa Rice on NetGalley. As one of many children, including 6 sisters, Sister BFFs hit home in the very best ways. It was cute, funny, heartwarming, and completely ridiculous, just like any relationship with your adultish sister should be.

I told my 18 year-old sister I will be gifting her Sister BFFs as soon as it is available for purchase. Huge thanks to Philippa for sharing your life in such a delightful and relatable way ❤️

Sadly i cannot read this due technical difficulties with my kobo. Sadly, it freezes after the first few pages, making it impossible to read. If it's at all possible to read in another format or if the issue can be fixed, email me at chasingmermaidsreviews@gmail.com I would still love to read and review this book for you.

I liked the idea. That is sisterhood. Everyone who has a sister can relate to this. Artstyle is lovely. Situations are funny. I really liked it.

Sister BFFs is a book showing some daily arguments between 2 sisters who are so close, like best friends. They are trying to be grown-ups in adult world.

It was an okay reading. Did I enjoy it? Eh... Unfortunately. Maybe I unconsciously expected something, or I didn't quite get it because I am an only child. What I didn't like much was the sisters were a bit too childish. Their arguments sometimes bored me.

For once I was a little happy to read the very negative reviews of this book – not to wish any author into being forced to give me such a fillip, but it kind of reassured me that it wasn't just me, my gender and my lack of sisters that made this book feel like a minor misfire. I read a lot of it with completely the wrong impression of which of the sisters was the author, which might seem minor but still counts as a reaction.

But far more importantly, this book suffered from the same malaise that hit Catana Chetwynd's Little Moments of Love – it presented people you were supposed to like for all their minor-scale, winsome quirks, and never showed them actually experiencing real life. Here the two of them have winsome quirks – wrestling with each other in their joggers, sharing a bathroom in socially unacceptable ways, out-doing the other at binge watching, but it's all of bugger all consequence. Neither of them works, they just dream of a future. They keep going to the coffee shop but never earn any coffee, any calories, or any of our friendship.

I'd care for one of them if they stubbed their toe, but little that dramatic is allowed to interfere with this melange of a life. I can't believe that's an accurate representation of their lot, and I can't really believe anybody thinks as a result that it's interesting. It's of a minor appeal all told, entirely due to their winsomeness, but boy this is comfort food for when you're in your pyjamas all day, and I wanted a proper read.

This one totally missed the mark for me. I liked the concept of two sisters navigating life and having that representation be honest and a bit messy, but this one lacked storytelling and was just a too messy for my liking. I did laugh at the back and forth debate about who would shut the door— anyone with a sibling can recognize that debate!

A great and fun read. Not only is the relationship between the sisters adorably funny and charming in its own right, at the same time the dynamics of their bond remains something that can be lovingly recognized by anyone who has a sibling.

Sisters BFFs is the perfect gift for any close pair of sisters. While reading it, I kept sending my sister pictures of it, because it illustrated our relationship so well. The comics in Sisters BFFs are all slice of life, sometimes showing text messages between the sisters, or showing them hanging out at home or going out in public. These comics perfectly illustrate what it's like to have a close sibling, one who you can go from hating one minute to sending memes to the next. I loved this book and I'm going to buy a copy for my sister and I when it comes out.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

While my experiences with my 2 older sisters was nothing like this, I recognize *their* relationship in this, and I *died* laughing!

Highlighting the dysfunctional functionality of sisters that have grown up together, probably lived alone for a while in college, yet are back living home with mom and dad - a situation many 20 somethings find themselves in nowadays, this is a very silly, poignant, funny little book.

Sister BFF is a graphic novel that shows the sisterly bond of the author, Philippa, and her younger sister, Holly. Their funny relationship banters, and moments were definitely amusing to read. My sister and I's relationship is way different from Philippa and her sister's because I guess we're a bit serious especially when giving advice or opinion.

As for the author, their bond is more on the hilarious and silly side and that they are not afraid to talk about anything, and on trying new things. A lot of women could be able to relate to this graphic novel, particularly those who have one or two sisters and has a comical connection with them.

I don't have any sisters, but I do have one self-professed Diva younger brother who introduces himself to my parents' friends as "the REAL daughter" and introduces me to his friends as his "deceptively feminine-looking brother" so take my review for what it's worth...which is basically nothing.

Anyway, this was really funny. There were moments here that I've 100% had with my brother and with longtime childhood friends, once upon a time. It was funny and still kind of sweet, and a perfectly enjoyable way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Requested & received this from Netgalley.

First of all thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My rating: 3.5 out 5 stars

As the author says at the beginning this book is about the relationship between two sisters (in particular her relationship with her younger sister). They live in the same house and always have childish arguments.

I’m an only child, but I think this comic is an accurate representation of how the sisters's "love and hate relationships" work: sisters always make fun of you, but when you really need them, they’re there for you!

The style of this comic is cute and simple, but I think it could have been refined just a little bit more. I really like that the text is handwritten.

 This comic reminds me of the comic strips by Charles M. Schulz “The Peanuts”, so if you love the series I think you should give this book a try!

The only thing that I really didn’t like is one joke about women with testicles that I think it’s offensive and unnecessary.

Final thoughts:
This is a book that deals with sister relationships in a witty and light way, that makes a perfect gift for any sister in the world!

I see Philippa Rice's "Soppy" everywhere, but have yet to pick it up. After reading Sister BFFs, a series of short comics depicting the relationship she has with one of her own sisters, I am going to have to go back and pick up her previous book. It's adorable, realistic, and very funny. Anyone who has had a sibling (or a sibling-like friend) will enjoy this delightful collection.

Just remember, humor is subjective, humor is subjective, humor is subjective.

I would love to love this series of sister cartoons, but I find them off, somehow. I just can't get how two sisters, in their 20s, from the read of this, are having these childish arguments, and other such situations that happen when they are together.  Perhaps the 20s is the new teenager.

I found a few of the cartoons mildly amusing, but I found both sisters to be selfish, childish and argumentative. I know this series has a following, so as I said, humor is subjective. In the example below, the sisters discuss how one should behave in public, and one of them objects to talking to your baby. Sheesh.

And in the one below, one of the sisters just wants to be entertained.

And this one, below, they are texting about how bored they are, and the solution I actually found made sense. Life is short, and the boredom will pass.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-587" src="http://www.reyes-sinclair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-10-at-9.44.56-PM.png" alt=""/>

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This KILLED me, but in the best way possible! I way laughing out loud, and showing certain comic strips to my friends. I can already tell this will be a huge hit with anyone who enjoys Cat vs Human, Cyanide and Happiness, or Little Moments of Love. This type of dark and witty ( yet totally realistic) humor is exactly what I look for in my graphic novels. Bravo! I will be telling a few friends of mine to buy this for their sister for Christmas.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy this title, so I will not be giving it a full review. Much of it felt like griping without real humor to it. None of the jokes were laugh out loud funny, and it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Quite neurotic compared to "Soppy" but still fabulously illustrated. Rice has a gift for storytelling but this title was a little difficult to get through at times.

This book has a cute style and at first I enjoyed the stories and found some of them pretty amusing. However by the end I was getting quite tired of all the bickering between two very childish grown adults. There were also a couple of transphobic jokes about women with testicles which I was surprised got through the editing stage in 2018.

I only have 1 sister, but most of the scenarios presented in this graphic novel are so true - at least for me. From arguing, being stubborn, sharing secrets, helping each other, and other sisterly things, I can definitely say that those who have sisters can see themselves in at least a few of the scenes here. The artwork looks rough at first, but it'll grow on you and eventually start focusing on the dialogues.

I'm waiting for this to be released, so that I can give this to my sister. I bet she'll love this.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This entertaining collection of comics about sisterhood and its problems is certainly interesting and has its charms. I'm not overly fond of the art style and not as many of the stories as I had hoped struck a chord with me, but I still found it amusing and it made for a fun and quick read.
