I love Catana Chetwynd!

All her illustrations remind me of my relationship and I couldn't love them all more than I already do!

Looking forward to more by this author/illustrator and highly recommend this to everyone!

*Huge thanks to Catana Chetwynd, Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own*

This was just the cutest book. I really enjoyed her comic strips whenever I saw them but this whole book gave such joy and all the feels. It really showcases a great relationship. Super easy to read here and there as each page is a new strip. Highly recommend it.

I first discovered Catana comics on instagram, since then, Catana has always been one of my favorite comic authors, her comics are always short for a quick read, sweet and sometimes funny :D (Sadly, I'm still single but whatever) I did not hesitate when I saw this book available on NetGalley. As expected and as usual, this collection is sweet, warm and funny, and I probably will not hesitate to grab a physical copy when it hits the shelves too.

Lovely book, it was more than what I expected and I love the Catana comics on Instagram. I can wait to see more about this couple. Would read it over and over again.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for access to the DLC in exchange for an honest review.

Going into this review with full disclosure, I have loved Catana Comics for a long time. I have been following their instagram for what seems like forever, and I adore their comics. So it will come as no surprise to anyone when I say I LOVED THIS! Honestly what we all need is this collection in our lives. I find so many of these comics hilariously relatable, which is what I think makes this collections so special and unique. Plus the art style is adorable.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

A cute and fun collection that is full of love and whether you're in a relationship or single, you'll still be able to relate to those little moments.
Adorable artwork with eyes as far apart as the North and South Poles. Haha! No, seriously, the art is so cute!

I have insomnia and read comics to help me fall asleep. Catana Comics are always a good choice because they’re sweet, relatable, and funny. “Snug” is no different. The art is adorable (especially the way their eyes stick out of the sides of their heads like goldfish...it doesn’t sound cute, but it is. Trust me). The book reminds me of what I appreciate in my own relationship, and any time I put a book down feeling happier than I was when I picked it up, it’s a book I can recommend.

I picked this up on a whim, I felt like I needed a lighthearted fast read, so what could be more perfect than a graphic novel about dating your best friend? The answer is nothing!
'Snug' has an absolutely adorable unique art style. This was just so precious and I definitely will be picking up a physical copy of this book, as well as annoying all my friends to pick it up as well!

I LOVE CATANA!

Ok, now that that's out of the way. I have followed Catana's Instagram since before her first book came out and I love the short comics that detail her every day life. I love how she makes small moments between her and John special with them.

This book is a cozy collection of wintery or homey comics that highlight how special the small things in life are and I love it so much. I have her first book in print and will definitely pick this one up as well. I love been able to just go to m favorite comic or read through a few and just feel a little warm happy feeling.

This was an adorable portrayal of John and Catana's relationship. I am a big fan of Catana's and follow her on social media. However, I wish that there was more of a story line instead of just cute little clips. I also would have wished for more new comics that had not been on social media. Overall, it was a cute fast read that was heart warming!

In this second collection, Catana Chetwynd once again opens a window into the little moments that make up a relationship. The comics remain brief and simple, focusing more on the affection and humor that go into loving your best friend. Each one shares moments presumably experienced by Catana and her other half John, and yet even the most quirky gives insight into loving moments readers have probably experienced as well. They are adorable and relatable, and I giggled more than once. In fact, I'm smiling just thinking about them now. I only wish there were more comics! Looking forward to picking up a copy to go with my Little Moments of Love, and sharing them with my own husband.

I've always loved looking at Catana Chetwynd's comics. So when I saw this book offered up on NetGalley, I knew I needed to read it. Snug is an adorable collection of comics that show the fun and weird things that couples experience. It's a book that will make you smile, think fondly of your significant other, or wish you knew that feeling.

The artwork is beautiful and simplistic. It's exactly what you would expect from Catana Comics. This book would make the perfect gift for Valentine's Day.

FYI if you're single, this book will make you feel it.

I already have the first Catana Comics book at home because I love their comics and they're hilariously accurate! There is not one comic so far that hasn't described me, my boyfriend or both of us exactly as the way she draws them, and I'm completely obsessed by these books! The second book, Snug, features another collection of this sweet couple who shares their lives with the world in the real and honest way. I really love their comics and I hope they'll continue to live (and marry) happily together!

Catana Chetwynd's Snug: A Collection of Comics about Dating Your Best Friend had one primary effect on me: I wanted to immediately go snuggle with my wife. These cutesy comics about Catana's life with her boyfriend are relatable and honest, capturing the joyful, simple domesticity of two people in love.

Many of the strips deal with typical issues of domestic life: sharing the blankets, negotiating over cleaning duties and dinner, making time for each other. The overall tone is of a couple full of affection for each other, who love to snuggle in bed or on the couch, and whose favorite place in the world is at home together. Not only is this their favorite place, but it's their place of recharge, sanctuary, and mutual support.

Be warned: if you don't have someone to share life and snuggles with, this little book will create a longing for the kind of mutual love that Catana and John share! If you do have someone, well, this isis a great reminder to cherish your time together. The art is simple black and white. The characters have huge eyes that make them look like frogs or fish or something. Even though I didn't really like the appearance of her characters, Chetwynd's tone and themes more than made up for it.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

Rating: 4/5 stars

Thanks NetGalley for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first contact with this author's work and I absolutely adored it. This collection of comic feels so real and relatable, even if you never had a long term relationship, since it gives us that feeling that even if you're the most peculiar being, you will find someone just like you :)

Plus, I loved that the art reminded me a bit of manga stories, because of the big eyes of the couple, and still, it felt very realistic. I liked it so much that now I am very interested in reading Little Moments of Love, the previous author's work and I hope to get to it as soon as possible, since it seems to have a very similar style.

If you're looking for a fun, fast pacing, cute and light read, this is surely for you.

This is so CUTE! I laughed, I smiled and yes, I did send some snapshots at my boyfriend (he wasn't with me, so I couldn't look at him lovingly while reading this). It's so adorable, and I was totally seeing us in some, but I also saw my brother and his girlfriend in others. I am completely in love with this book. I will need to buy a physical copy of this one, to read it again and again and again!

Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing for the complimentary e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
