This lovely graphic novel totally exceeded my expectations. I needed something that I could mentally dip in and out of, focus on easily during a weird and distracted time of quarantine, and this hit every point on that list! As a married person, it was relatable without being trite, heartfelt without being saccharine. This is definitely an author I’ll keep on my radar!

Happily Every After & Everything in Between is the 2nd book that I've read by Debbie Tung. I had previously read her earlier book Book Love. Like Book Love, Happily Ever After... is a collection of short comics about the author's life. In this book she focuses on her life as a newlywed.

The comics are cute and sweet and since they are short 1 page comics, it is easy to pick this book up as you have small spare moments of time. Or you can read it all the way through in less than an hour. If you're in a relationship, you will see lots of things to relate to in here.

An adorable comic that I could find myself relating to within my relationship. The characters are expressive, notions pure, and circumstances realistic, endearing, and honest. I will definitely be considering purchasing this as a wedding or anniversary gift for my friends! #HappilyEverAfterEverythingInBetween #NetGalley

I just love Debbie Tung's books. This one is no exception. It is adorable with cute art and sweet glimpses into Debbie's married life. If you have enjoyed Debbie Tung's previous books, I think you will love this one too.

I love both of Debbie Tung’s other books and was really excited to see one about relationships. This book is adorable. I found it to be relatable and a quick little read. It would make a great gift for a loved one.

I ENJOYED EVERY SINGLE PAGE OF THIS BOOK.

This never happens to me! And listen, I am not married, nor in a relationship, nor anywhere close to it but this book makes me want to be. This is just the most wholesome, positive experience of reading about a couple I have ever had and I am pretty sure I 'aww'ed aloud multiple times. Absolute Relationship Goals. I especially enjoyed that there were no traces of any stereotypical gender-role related incidents that make me instantly squirm, nor was there the constant presentation of a relationship that is all roses and chocolates. THERE ARE FART JOKES. And I have never laughed so hard in my life.

This comic collection is an absolute gem for literally anyone. I cannot think of a single person I would not recommend this to and hope that lots and lots of people will get the joy of living with these characters for a little while.

I had the very best time reading this so I cannot give it anything BUT 5 stars. For making me laugh, making me relate and for making me believe that a thing such as true love does exist.

Great little book! I love how Debbie Tung creates a narrative through short scenes. The scenes were very relatable and brought a smile to my face. Great illustrations!

I read this in one night and I've never seen any of the authour's comics before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I found that most of the comics were very relatable. However, this comic is about the couple's life together since they got married and it's different than the other comics I've read with similar topics because they document even the simplest and boring moments. There were tiny bits of humour scattered throughout the book but it just felt like a monotonous read because even the totally mundane aspects of their relationship were made into comics, which I guess was the point. One thing that kept confusing me was the format of the comics. I read this on my kobo which only shows one page at a time so I thought each page was a separate comic but then I would go to the next page and there'd be a continuation. Also the author says that the comic is about an introvert married to an extrovert but you barely see any evidence of his 'extrovertedness'. There are plenty of instances where we see the author and wife as an introvert but her husband also seems like an introvert as well. Overall this was a fun and cute read but it was just a tad bit boring as well.

This book was so cute! I loved it. It reminded me of the cute "Love is" cartoons. While reading this book there were so many pages that reminded me of my husband and I. I couldn't help but relate and share them with him. This book is heart warming and will leave you feeling blissfully happy.

"What's the point of having a husband if he doesn't buy you books?"

A cute yet relatable book about married life and its everyday moments! The title is very apt as romance, as shown in this book, does not end with marriage. In fact, it's the little things that count, and which we find joy and comfort in. It also reminds you to be grateful for your partner and what the two of you share. The simple and clean art suited the book and its content. All in all, a sweet and delightful read.

"Him: I found that new book you wanted! I'll get it for you.
Her: Oh, you don't have to do that.
Him: Nonsense! I'll place an order.
Her: You know, you don't have to feel obliged to get me books.
Him: What's the point of having a husband if he doesn't buy you books?
Her: *hugs*"

I can always count on Andrews McMeel to publish best works when it comes to comics and poetry! I have read a couple more books just like this and this one had the cutest illustrations ever! I haven't seen more perfect comics: this had the most beautiful and heartwarming comics depicting the tiny moments in the marriage to the huge moments of it in the most heart-touching way possible! Funny and adorable, this makes it this most perfect reads to engaged and married people! Or you can always read this for fun as I did or with your loved one!

I loved and I enjoyed this! The only reason I am giving this one 4 stars is that I have read similar moments. But this one is worth all the stars it can get!

A very sweet look into the author's newlywed life. I'm more partial to the author's first two books that focused on introversion and book love... but I will read anything Debbie Tung publishes! She's fun and relatable. I've been hoping another book would come out, so I was SO happy to see this was coming out. It was a nice, cozy break during a too-busy day and stressful month.

I follow Debbie Tung on Instagram so I´ve already seen some parts of this book and I wanted to read it all because I liked comics stips like these. I´ve really enjoyed this book. It reminded me of Soppy by Philippa Rice, which I loved too.

It´s super funny, I laughed many times, and sweet. It´s all about those moments that couples share but I think that you can find yourselves in there even when you are not in a relationship. Overall, it´s about everyday moments and you can relate to it very easily. I found myself there many times. Yeah, I am guilty of many things the author mentions.

It´s a perfect book when you want to feel good on a rainy evening. It´s sweet and the ending is the sweetest.

Aaaaaaw I love these comics by Debbie Tung! They remind me so much of me and my fiance, and they are so sweet and wholesome!

Thank you @netgalley for the opportunity to read this quick little book. I laughed, so hard. After nearly ten years of marriage so much of it rang true. It took all of those little situations couples find themselves in and illustrated them. To say it was relatable was an understatement. If you are married and need a laugh, check it out.

Yesterday I was browsing throughout NetGalley for some light readings and found 'Happily Ever After & Everything in Between' by Debbie Tung. As soon as I put my eyes on the cover, something attracted me to it, and I decided to give it a go. This book was the first graphic novel I have ever read, but before giving it a review, I also cast an eye over 'Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story' by the same author, so I can give this book a proper review and to have some background.
The novel is structured around the key points of the author's life (the wedding with her love, the purchase of their new house, and the steps that they are making together) while combining the simple moments in our everyday lives with whom we can relate. Something that I liked about this book is the simplicity of it. It doesn't deal with stressful and exhausting topics which makes it the ideal light read for a pleasant evening. It is funny, and it makes you laugh your ass out while reading, but at the same time, it is romantic, and it shows you the ideal relationship. The one which isn't perfect, but the place where you know there is somebody that cares and to whom you can always go if you have problems. The place where you feel safe and understood.
Just like I pointed out earlier, the book is quite simple, so therefore the style of the illustrations is the same. The art used is not expressive, but I don't mind it. I think it works better with the style of writing. Even if there are not many words used, the drawings are telling a lot more than words ever could.
There is no need to say that I fell in love with it! The ending was pleasing, and I can't wait for a sequel to be released. I am going to add Debbie Tung to my list of favourite authors, and in the next few days, I am going to read the other books she realised.
Overall, it was the book I needed to fulfil a perfect afternoon, and if you are looking for a deep, yet light read, this is the right book for you! I recommend it for further reading.
I would love to thank NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this opportunity.

I love the work of Debbie Tung. She is sooo talented and I felt identified with many of the situations described in this books. Perfect companion to Book Love (her previous book). Although I read it from a digital version, I will get the physical copy as this one is going to be part of my coffee table collection.

This is a cute little book. It’s one of those quick, meant to be funny reads. Unfortunately, I felt like the gray scale illustrations didn’t really lend themselves to the happy story that it was. I also thought they were somewhat repetitive.

A sweet and sincere collection of comics based on the author's own experiences of married life with her husband, with a lovely art style and charming moments throughout.

An adorably humorous graphic novel that my husband and I read together and really connected with!

Debbie Tung captured what its like to be married to your best friend so perfectly. While there wasn't a solid narrative to these comics, there was definitely an overarching progression of time and life experiences.

While we loved these comics, I think this book is for a very niche audience; new adult couples in long-standing relationships. Hoping anyone who picks this up enjoys it just as much!
