Candy hearts is so much fun to read!!!! I found it because of that parenting comic that became something of a meme.

ALSO. CANDY HEARTS IS PERFECT MEME MATERIAL!!

Anyway, yes. Loved it. Check it out! Idk when it comes out but check it out! Thanks, Netgalley ✨

I recently had an ARC for I Hope This Helps by Tommy Siegel and while that was not the biggest hit with me, in my review I said that my favourite parts from the book were those which included the candy hearts. So, of course, I could not pass on this one.

And I was not disappointed. It was a very quick read. Very clear, concise and straight to the point/punch line.

It took the best from I Hope This Helps and gave it it's own space. It feels more neet, that there is something connecting all the comics.

So, if you are trying to decide which Tommy Siegel book to get, I would recommend Candy Hearts. But! I have to say that it only shows a part of his cartoon style. (Though, in my opinion, the best). Which means that if you like this still does not mean you will like all of his other work or the other way around. This is more of a sample.

It’s cute, it’s fast. A 114 pages of single panel comics isn’t going to take anyone very long to read. I d seen 1 or 2 of these online so when I saw the galley I asked for a chance to read it. I’m not sorry I did. It put a smile on my face for 10 minutes before bed one night. If you want a quick chuckle this is a fine choice. On reflection seeing other reviews I might have gotten more of a laugh out of it if I’d done any online dating. But happily I met and married my spouse young and dodged that ****show. Good luck to those of you stuck with that.

Cute collection of comics about the true feelings and intentions of people in relationships and dating situations.

Candy Hearts by Tommy Siegel is a humorous, tongue in cheek look at modern relationships through the anonymity of faceless cartoon candy hearts. This is a quirky and unique take on the universality of our thoughts during social discourse, and there is something relatable here for everyone. The book is a lighthearted look at the struggles we all face while trying to make that deep human connection that is often so elusive. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance to read this ARC.

*chuckles guaranteed*

I'd like to thank netgalley and the publisher for giving me a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Yeah, I really liked this book. I read I hope this helps by Tommy Siegel and I liked it but not that much so I visited his Instagram profile to see what he was doing now. And I saw the candy hearts stories. I think that most of them are really funny and true. Like they are funny because it states the reality. I liked how the candy hearts always had different coloured because it makes it a bit gender-neutral in a way, even though sometimes my brain associated a candy heart with a gender. If you start reading this book, you will read it really fast, even in one sitting because first of all it’s not that long and because each panel contains its own story so it doesn’t feel long at all. I recommend this book to adults mostly.
4/5

Publisher's blurb: Tommy Siegel's single-panel "candy hearts" cartoons are sharp-edged yet lighthearted observations of human romantic relationships. Each one brilliantly depicts the many ways in which lovers deceive each other and hide their true feelings from the world.

Doesn't even tough what delights you will find in Candy Hearts"

OMG, Candy Hearts is a friking delight! A graphic novel that uses those terrible tasting candy conversation hearts, to tell what we would never have the nerve to say out loud.

My favorite one; One heart says "I don't believe in marriage." The other heart's response; "Yet you believe in Bitcoin."
Gave me just the chuckle I needed today, and like they say, "They're funny 'cus they're true."
Highly recommended. Would be great Valentine's gift as long as your paramour has a sense of humor.


I received this book free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion. Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and @Netgalley

Hilarious set of cartoons depicting what we're all really thinking on dates and in relationships. Several are laugh out loud funny and I can't wait to share these with friends and family when published. There are a few that are bittersweet and some that are edgy but all relatable.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

So often books like this come along, merely collating some Internet comic yucks – and adding many not good enough for the Internet the book-buying public are supposed to feel grateful for – and leaving us getting very little out of them. Books like the first Tommy Siegel compilation I tried, which was hopeless. This is much superior to the norm, then – and to that prior volume. We generally have two, at most three, candy heart-type figures, with their real inner thoughts writ large for only us to see on their faces. Because they're candy hearts they're unnatural colours, and only the occasional girly crossed legs or man-spreading will give the game away as to their gender. But age, race, experience – all are hidden, and we're just allowed to see these sweets – with their surprisingly expressive body language – declare what they think internally, and the book gets surprisingly wide success with letting us see the irony behind those thoughts. This is a world of incompatibility, where nobody can seem to be on the same wavelength enough, and where every SMS comes with an ulterior motive at odds with the recipient's thinking. It's also, I'm sure, a lot lighter than how I've described it. But the point remains this is no cheap, easy-to-draw, conceit – there is thought and literariness here. And the most sudden, unspoken response to someone on a subway platform thinking they've pulled you could expect. Surprisingly, four stars (if not a fragment more).

What a brilliant collection! I must admit, I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I requested it. The art looked cute but the humour seemed like it had the potential to be a bit basic. Not at all! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and enjoyability of the humour in this collection. I genuinely really loved it and it's the kind of thing I would want my friends to read. It's very bingeable and the kind of comic you pick up and reread again and again. I strongly recommend it!

Candy hearts with legs reveal their deepest thoughts about relationships in this hilarious cartoon collection. Very relatable and warmly recommended.

Really cute illustrations and very relatable to modern life. Some were funny. A quick read book.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This is my second Tommy Siegel book and it is laugh out loud funny. All the things you think while trying to find love, on a date or even in a committed relationship are in here, it was a really quick read and it left me wanting more, I will definitely keep tabs on this author as he just gets it and puts it out there in the most humorous of ways.

A delightful and hilarious book! Each page is so funny and I had a lot of fun reading this book! A great book for someone who wants a laugh! Seriously go read this funny book!
