This graphic memoir was impactful, well-drawn, and definitely will find its audience soon enough since it is so well-done.

Catana always has the cutest most relatable comics. It feels like a big warm hug reading and enjoying the illustrations in snug,

Catana Chetwynd's comics are so sweet. She illustrates relatable slices of life in such an unoffensive adorable way. I prefer reading them as she posts on social media, but only because I zip through these books too quick to really appreciate each panel. This would make a good gift for an anniversary.

I really loved this and would for sure read another collection from this author. Everything was very relatable and had my heart soaring.

Chetwynd's comics about her sweet relationship are like getting a hug in book form. They celebrate all the tiny moments that make relationships special.

Snug was such a cute and fun read. I really love Catana's comics, and this collection is not an exception of that.
The humour and the situationt are just as hilarious and funny as a single person, like it is to the not so single ones.

The comic is full of love, and cuteness and understanding the other half. But to be honest, Little Moments of Love is my all time fav from Catana.

This. Is. So. Endearingly. Precious. End. Stop.

This book, the art, the character interactions will work their way into your heart with alarming speed. Chetwynd had given such a good, in-depth view of what it is like to love and learn to live intimately with your best friend. I love the very clear and honest view of these growing and loving pains. Happy, sad, painful, confusing situations that one has to work through even when one loves someone with their whole heart, and that loving this person with your whole heart is embracing all of these things will happen.

I really like this book because the comics are so relatable, cute, funny, relaxing and fun. I appreciate knowing it is not just me going through the things the author, Catana Chetwynd, outlined in her book. I read this book while I was snugly cuddled up to my partner and our pup. There are many different situations perfectly illustrated from Catana's perspective. It's funny because I see myself as the tall, loves video games version of Catana's character. It is a good book. I highly recommend checking it out for a good, peaceful read.

A charming, sometimes all-too-relatable look at what it's like getting through life with a partner who more than supports your silly side. As a follower of the artist's Instagram, I've sent way too many posts to my own partner, saying, "Look, it's us!" Snug is guaranteed to make any reader smile and, whether or not they have a partner to send the comics to, anyone will be able to see some glimpses of themselves on the page.

These comics are adorable, so wholesome and uplifting, I enjoyed every page.

First of all the art style is super cute, I really love it.

I found these comics easy to fly through and I'd love to read more.

I love Catana Chetwynd’s style and writing so much I’m not completely sure I could give anything less than five stars. I should mention that the style is not for everyone, there is not much depth in the writing and the overall “meaning” of the book, other than a glimpse at the day to day of an adorable couple. With that out of the way, I have to say I really enjoyed this collection, even when I had seen a lot of the comics contained in it (50% of them were already published on her social platforms). And that’s Chetwynd’s magic, I believe, I can read these comics over and over and never tire. They are both funny and cute, in an uplifting way, and treat day to day as something worth sharing and cherishing. That sentiment resonates with me, and I’m sure that is the case for many other readers. We are interested in seeing ourselves (or part of ourselves) in the media we consume. And even if the book does not initially seem to have much depth, we can probably discuss at large how her comics depict relationship dynamics for some people nowadays, especially for younger generations. I will always be ready and excited to read and recommend Chetwynd’s comics!

I just adore the comics created by Catana Chetwynd. They've brought me such joy and this collection in SNUG makes me feel just warm and fuzzy just as the title implies. Her comics bring a smile to my face and can make me literally laugh out loud. She really captures those small moments of falling and living in love.

With her book, LITTLE MOMENTS OF LOVE, I would share my favorite comics with my husband because I thought they were "totally us". I would turn to him, show him a comic, and tell him, "Oh my gosh, THIS IS US!" It happened with comic after comic.

Even though he's no longer here for me to share SNUG with him, it made me feel good to read it because I still saw us in the comics. I could hear his laugh and him agreeing, "Yes, this is us."
And, if I'm being honest, there were times that it made me cry too.

SNUG came out in February of this year and I've read it a few times. Chetwynd's new book IN LOVE AND PAJAMAS will be available in February 2021.

If you don't have a chance to check out her books any time soon, you can follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catanacomics/

A sweet set of cartoons about the coziness and affection of the romantic relationship the creator is portraying. Unique, cute art adds to the appeal.

This was insanely adorable and a reflection on my own relationship with my significant other. We both read it together and we couldn't stop smiling and laughing because of how true it was. I definitely want to pick up more comics from this author. This was also a very quick read, so if you want an adorable, relatable quick comic, pick this up!

This book is adorkable! I love these comics so much because it is so much like my relationship with my spouse. Everything about her comics is cute and relatable. And those are some of the highest complements coming from me.

Snug by Catana Chetwynd lives up to its title, as indeed it is a cozy compilation of comics about relationships and being part of a couple. If you're looking for a book that will give you warm feelings, Chetwynd's observations about what it's like to be part of a healthy pairing will give you just that.

This book is just filled to the brim with adorableness and you can't help but smile while reading it! I always see Catana's comics on Instagram, so I was very excited to hear about this collection. Her art style is so cute and it works so well with the theme of the comics. I saw myself and my boyfriend in sooo many of these comics and just felt so happy. You can see through her comics that Catana and John's love for one another is so real and so pure and it just melts my heart! This is the book equivalent of being wrapped in a fuzzy blanket and drinking a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. You can't read this without feeling cozy and warm inside because it's so lighthearted and sweet. This is the type of book I know I'll come back to anytime I'm feeling sad and need a pick-me-up! Bonus points because dogs are featured in the comics too.

Thank you so much Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!
