I really like Catana's artwork. Her comic are so cute and very relatable. This was fun to read and put a smile on my face.

This collection of comics shows the many moments in a long term romance. Moments of frustration, silliness, affection and more. Chetwind's people, with their large, round heads and big goldfish eyes seem a little odd at first, but this style works for her. She successfully portrays the range of emotions needed for this strip, which reminds us all of what we love about being in love.

Thank you for making this a 'Read Now'! I had so much fun reading this! Firstly, the drawings are just tooooo adorable! This comic is so so relatable! The 'snug'gles are real, the hand-in-the-same-mitten is just too cute, the this-comforter-fight is so so real, staying-home-in-winter-and-order-all-things-online is so us (I'm married but everything in this book is something we both can relate to!), and oooo 'reach for your toes' scene made me laugh out so loud that I had to show it to my other half, and it brought a smile to his face LOL I'm definitely getting this book for him on Valentine's Day!

This comic is so-so good. Deserves to be read over and over again! Definitely a perfect 5 (which I rarely give!)

I absolutely LOVE Catana Comics! It's like looking into a mirror and seeing my relationship with my husband reflected in these pages. Due to be released in February, I'll be sure to purchase a physical copy for my love for Valentines Day!

It's amazing how much can be said in four to five frames with little to no words at all. Catana Chetwynd perfectly achieves her relationship with John through simple, highly Instagramable bits in this adorable book. Each comic is four to five panels long but somehow manages to fit so many relatable emotions and actions into such a cute little square. In its entirety, the book is absolutely adorable. Having followed her on Instagram, I kind of knew what I was getting into, but this collection exceeded all expectations. Catana manages to take the mundane day-to-day of modern relationships and packages them into the perfect quick read. A perfect gift for those you love or a great pick-me-up for yourself, I cannot recommend this book more.

This was an absolutely adorable collection of short comics about dating the right person. I moved in recently with my (also tall and bearded) boyfriend and I found this so relatable and funny. I think any 20 or 30 something in a similar stage of life would as well

This is super cute and so full of love and understanding! How will I ever not love Catana's comics.... I am invested for this lifetime.

The comic style is a bit less attractive than the first collection I would say. Otherwise the art sequence and everything works out fine.

As it is just about the couple, it becomes a bit monotonous and a bit repetitive.
But you know what? It is just amazing and sweet! It was difficult not to feel super single while reading this.

I enjoyed it a lot. I see lots of potential in the upcoming collections. I cannot wait, Catana!

Thank you #NetGalley for providing an ARC of this amazing comic collection #Snug

I loved her comics and this one was even better, deeper in some case and also terribly funny because I still remember how were the first weeks/months, but it seems she was able to make it last longer ;)
Looking forward to the next comic book!

Mi piacciono moltissimo le strisce di questa autrice e stavolta il libro mi sembra anche migliore del precedente, piú profondo in certi casi e anche terribilmente divertente, anche perché ci sono passata anche io e ancora mi ricordo come sono state le prime settimane, ma Catana sembra riuscita a far durare i primi mesi molto di piú ;)
Non vedo l'ora esca la prossima raccolta!

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This was a cute and wholesome book. I really enjoyed a lot of the comics and feel like anyone in a happy long term relationship can relate. Some of them seemed a bit 'look how quirky we are!' to me and I thought that was a bit annoying. Overall it was a cute and quick read.

It was so cuuute and really accurate. I love her comics because I find a lot of similarities with my (our) life. (But I think, I'm not the only one.)
The comics, some of them I already knew, but there were some totally new ones, and I looooved them. We were sitting with my boyfriend reading and laughing on each of the pages, because it's so us. :D
Thanks for the opportunity to read. :)

I really like Catana and have followed her art online for quite some time. It was nice to see this collection of familiar and new comics all in one place. Her art is so sweet and funny!

"Snug" was just as adorable and feel good as Catana's previous book "Little Moments of Love." Her simple drawings partner perfectly with the comics; they accentuate the stories without tons of extra backgrounds or unneeded props. I was worried that the comics wouldn't be too original or that they would be too similar to the previous book but each comic was original. I can't wait to see her next collection whenever that may be.

What is there even to say about Catana Comics? These sweet comics have been in my life and bringing me immense joy since I first saw them around two years ago, or so. And they are not only adorable, but so relatable. Sometimes I feel almost attacked with how much my fiance and I relate them to our own relationship. Socially awkward? Wants all of the pizza? Nothing but cuddles and no pants? Attacks their partner with all of the kisses and weird reactions? I feel you, girl. Especially during the year and a half that my fiance and I were long distance - we sent these back and forth to each other daily, and they always made us feel closer together, and definitely helped us get through that time. So I knew going in that I was going to love this.

This is a very quick read, as each comic is only a few panels on a page, so I just read through them all in about 25 minutes. I would highly, highly recommend this to absolutely anyone. It is funny, and sickly sweet, and I guarantee that every single person will find at least one (likely way more) that will make them smile!

This was insanely adorable. I loved the illustrations. I was already familiar with these two from comics is seen in social media. A whole book centered around their relationship was cute. I felt like I saw myself in so many of the comics. This is what relationship goals should really look like.

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2020. $15.
Language: PG (2 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: PG; Violence: G
BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Catana and John’s relationship is one that will have you fawning over each page -- sighing awwws aloud and making mental notes of #relationshipgoals. Each page is different glimpse into their cute and romantic relationship.
Each page of small and simple moments captured in comic form is adorable, and I enjoyed reading them as they made me smile and laugh and long for some of those elements in my own life. However, once I finished, I was a little disappointed that there was no story, no character development. This is simply a record of cute moments in a relationship.

I've been following Catana on Instagram for a long time. I love her comics. They're so funny, heart-warming, and relevant. Several of these made me laugh out loud and even though I've read the ARC, courtesy of NetGalley, I want a physical copy to flip through. I just wish it were longer. I love her comics!

I read this in one sitting, so much fun. I loved the first the book so I knew I needed to read this. This graphic novel shows the little things that matter in a relationship and does it in a very cute art style. This made me smile and laugh through out the whole entire book. Definitely going to buy this for my collection.
