SYNOPSIS | As the title states, this comic collection focuses on the day to day aspects of dating your best friend.

MY THOUGHTS | I loved Catana Chetwynd's earlier comic collection (Little Moments of Love) and this one was equally wonderful. She does an amazing job of documenting the day to day aspects of some of the quirky elements of a relationship and some of them hit the nail on the head so much that I found myself chuckling along and shoving them in my husbands face to laugh with me. I especially connected with the one about the fortune cookie predicting a lifetime or back rubs, the lying down on the bed during the getting ready process and healthy eating after eating a pizza.

I really wanted to like this book but its just a bunch of comics put together in no particular order. They aren't even organized well according to themes and stuff. The comics were cute but I didn't lie them as a compilation as thy stood out as an individual post but together in a book it wasn't that interesting. The book presented random instances not a building of a story, or comic or even a graphic novel.

I have seen these comics on Facebook here and there so I was already familiar with the idea. I enjoyed this collection, it was a cute and quick read for me. Catana makes comics about relationship life that are both cute and relatable which explains their large following.

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

This is the cutest graphic novel I have ever read. The adorable story as well as the art work is just perfect. This is one of those cutesy stories that you just need to get your hands on. The adorable story with the simplistic art just made my heart happy. I loved it so much.

Thank you kindly to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for allowing me to review this title.

Catana Comics is a favorite of mine and I love the theme behind this one. I see so much of my fiancé and myself in each of these. I cannot wait until I can get a physical copy for us to have.

Every page of the book was so adorable that I felt like it should not end. Things were relatable, they were worth remembering and worth sharing as well.
Highly recommended for some light and soft reading.

This is a book of gently amusing comics about a relationship.  Reflective of every day life and mostly sweet, this book will be enjoyed by those who know the ups and downs of daily life with a significant other.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, how stinking cute was this? I've always loved seeing these little comics online, and to have a bind up of a bunch of them just brings a warm, fuzzy feeling to you with a cheesy grin. Anyone who has been in a relationship can relate to the feelings this comic bind up gives you. I loved how simple the art was too!

Catana Chetwynd's new comic book, "Snug" is a humorous look at falling in love with your best friend. This comic book is a quirky, funny look at modern love with all the weirdness and the wonderful parts of love in the 21st century.

The illustrations are fun and beautiful, the various scenarios are totally relatable and you can read the whole book in one sitting. It is also a fun book that you could come back to for a reminder of why you love your partner over and over.

I received this eBook free of charge from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. I did not receive any fiscal compensation from either company for this review and the opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.

I love everything Catana creates, ever. All of it. Always. I was so excited to see that she had another collection coming out, and I can hardly wait to buy a physical copy to put next to her last collection on my shelf. Her comics are relatable, and fun, and cute, and I just love them so much. I am incapable of looking at them without insisting that my husband stop what he is doing so I can immediately show him “another adorable Catana comic! BABE! LOOK! ITS SO CUTE!”
If you need a quick smile and only have a few seconds, this new collection is the perfect place to turn. Just open to literally any page.

This was a very cute comic which, in my opinion, is a very accurate depiction of a healthy relationship. A perfect 20 minute mood-booster.

A heartwarming collection of webcomics that illustrate the cute relationship moments of one New York couple and their dog.

Snug by Catana Chetwynd is a graphic novel full of mini comics about the mundane life of a couple. The comics are relatable and funny, offering a slice of life into a typical relationship. All of the comics are black and white. Some of them were extremely short, about two boxes on a page. While the point of these comics is to be a short slice of life, it felt at times that the author used a daily struggle or situation in multiple comics. I did find this book to be extremely endearing, especially because Chetwynd's inspiration stems from her real-life relationship. This book is a good book to buy or give if you're looking for something cute and lighthearted, but realistic. It makes for a nice and short read. Overall, I did enjoy reading this novel and the illustrations were cute and easy to look at.

Catana's one page comics are cute and relatable.
This collection of comics revolve around her relationship and has a little something for everyone.

Definitely a fast and fun read. Great for fans and first time readers.

A very cute series of relatable comics. They’re obviously very sappy, but they’re very real and the length of this book provides just enough sweetness to fill you up!

I wanted a quick read that would give me warm fuzzies inside and this did the trick. I really enjoyed Catana's cartoons and can see the love in their relationship.

A second book of humourless one-shots that try and portray an idealised relationship. My review would have just been '"Smug, not "Snug"', but some people do insist on minimum word counts.

This was so cute, sweet, adorable and funny. It was funny because it’s so relatable!! I had a fun time reading this and sharing some of the comics with my husband. I love it so much!

I've followed Catana Comics for a long time on Instagram so I was very excited when I saw that there's a book coming out. I love her art style and the little vignettes into her relationship which funnily enough is a lot like the relationship I'm in. It's a perfect representation of being in a loving relationship with someone who is not only your partner but your best friend who you are (for the most part) on the same level with.

This collection is a fun read that would make almost anyone feel warm fuzzies and put a smile on their face. If you're looking for something that will be uplifting and cute, pick this one up.
