Sometimes when life gets you down there is nothing like reading a cute relationship to make you feel better.

I’ve been following Catana on Instagram, and when I saw this was available I had to read it. It’s a short collection of comic strips, but it’s so full of warm and fuzzy feelings that I’m hankering for more, and with the world going crazy right now, everyone needs something smaller to focus on to give you a sense of escapism, and this is perfect for that.

Catana’s illustrations are cute. Her relationship is cute. Everything is so damn cute, and I love it. John and Catana are two quirky beans who are perfect together, and their moments together feel real and precious. I’m just gushing over them, and their slice of life interactions are the best.

If you haven’t read Catana’s work then you are missing out. It’s a wonderful and comforting read.

A collection of cute comics that any couple can relate to. Catana brings to life the situations that make us laugh with and love our partners.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was super cute! I've seen the author's art float around social media the last few years and always found it so adorable, and really relatable. The cartoons remind me a lot of my relationship with my husband. They're funny, real, and you can feel the love :) I'll definitely be checking out her other collections like this!

All Catana Chetwynd books are amazing and this one is no different. Reading In Love & Pajamas puts the reader in such a happy mood. So many relatable scenes.

I loved this book. I feel it perfectly sums up what it is like to be in a relationship with someone who truly is your other half and best friend. Although it’s told through illustration and meant to be lighthearted, it captures a relationship perfectly. It made me grateful to have found my other half. There were so many pages I ran over to show him for us to relate too. We will definitely be purchasing a copy to keep on our shelf!

A new Catana book! If you’ve seen her other comics before than you know what to expect already. If not, prepare for page after page of a happy, neurotic, deeply-in-love couple who enjoy naps, coffee, snacks and, above all, each other.

Catana’s style is simplistic and adorable, perfectly fitting for these happy little moments. If you have a partner you’ll find yourself showing them specific cartoons -- lots of them -- and getting nods and smiles. If you don’t have a partner at the moment, consider “In Love & Pajamas” a relationship goal.

I didn't think this one was quite as strong as her first two, "Little Moments of Love" and "Snug," but that's mostly because I got just what I was expecting with no surprises and sometimes, that's just what you want.

Catana writes about a couple I'd like to be friends with.

This comic is just flat out adorable! I'm not sure if it was intentional or coincidental but the timing of these cutesy couple staying home in pajamas is just quarantine relationship goals! Pick this up for a sweet little read that will be out just in time for Valentine's day!

I received an early copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

I follow Catana Chetwynd on social media and I love her. Every bit of this book made me smile. Her comics are very relatable, as I was constantly grabbing my boyfriend to shove comics from this book under his nose and exclaiming, "It's us!" Chetwynd's art style is adorable and I love how the simplicity of the comics still speak volumes. A quick and enjoyable read!

This book was cute and I wanted to like it more. However, I found the wife unrelatable at times. I don't really like the "look how petite I am compared to my husband" thing. It's overdone. Also, I've seen many of these scenarios before, and while some of them were sweet, most were recycled ideas I've seen in other books or memes. I'm giving it three stars because I smiled a few times while reading it, and there's an audience for this book that will enjoy it more than I did.

This is adorable and relatable. It's such a feel-good representation of the author's loving relationship. Read it with someone you love.

In Love & Pajamas is a simple yet lovely look into the mundane moments of a relationship. Catana Chetwynd depicts the soft, warm moments of domesticity that we all need a precious reminder of. Though her comics focus on her own relationship with her fiance, Chetwynd manages to reach beyond the romance and into the true intimacy of their relationship which is where she touches on those truly relatable moments. You don't have to be engaged or romantically involved at all to experience the joys of being able to be your true, weird self with another person, and that's what In Love & Pajamas is about, the moments where you can be yourself and embraced by someone you love.

This was a quick read, but one I know I'll be coming back to when I need a sweet little pick-me-up. Chetwynd's comics may look simple, but the emotional depth she manages to put in just a few lines on a page is astounding.

This book just gave me a warm feeing of happiness and contentment that I associate with a good relationship. It'ssweet, non-pretentious, funny, and genuinely romantic.

Completely relatable, hilarious and adorable. This was a perfect way to start the new year. She covers love, relationships, and everyday life. If you're not familiar with Catana Comics, you're missing out.

I follow Catana Comics on Instagram so this was a treat to get an early copy of this book. Some of these comics have been on social, but most were new! Love that they are super relatable and are guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

Thank you to the Catana Chetwynd, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. #InLovePajamas #NetGalley

This was my first Catana comic book but I have encountered her comics around social media. They're very cute and endearing and this was cozily relatable as I read it in my PJs with a cup of tea.

I love relatable love stories. And this series is so relatable. I could actually see myself and my sexy sir in this comic. It’s fresh. It’s adorable. And it’s reality.

So relatable and fun comic book! Some of the comics can be seen on Catana´s social media and some are new. Overall, it was a refreshing read!

"And I need at least 8 hours to mentally prepare for social activity."

Not even married or in a relationship, but I must say that this wonderful collection of comics tickles my fancy. I binged the entire book in twenty minutes flat, and I smiled the entire way through. It was a great pick-me-up, and a much needed contrast from most of the more intense books I've been reading as of late.

Chetwynd does a fantastic job in capturing the little moments and conveying them in four panels or less, and I'm excited to read more from her in the future.

This was such a cute slice-of-life comic series about being comfortable with the one you love. I really enjoyed my time reading this and the art style is simplistic and I find the facial expressions to be so cute...

These collections of comics were so adorable! They really showed the comforts of a relationship and if my future partner and I aren’t like that then I don’t want it
