*I received an advance copy from NetGalley. However, this does not influence my opinion. *
I absolutely adored this book! It’s so cute and Catania’s drawings are just the sweetest thing! Everyone can find something to like about her books! If you want a little break from the stress and anxieties of this world, take a minute to pick up this book or any of her comics. They will definitely put a smile on your face!

Because who doesn’t love couples comics?!

A collection of comics from the Catana Comics series loosely framed by the themes of love, marriage, and romantic partnerships. The content is sweet and minimalist, with no need for prior familiarity with the artist or the series.

A beautiful book about love that will make you smile, giggle a little, and sigh happily while staring out your window. Bravo Catana for another great collection guaranteed to become a classic.

This is the second book I have read by author Catana Chetwynd, and she just gets better the more I read. Her little comic snippets are sweet, funny, and oh-so-relatable. Her previous book, Little Moments of Love, did very well in my library system, and ended up in our comics section, though I believe it would do well if cataloged in humor as well. It was also featured in some valentine's day/romantic book displays, and was always taken very quickly.

The author's simplistic style is perfect for this type of sweet little comic, and she manages to get so much expression into each little drawing, despite how little definition there is in each person's face.

I will definitely be purchasing this book for my library system, and I look forward to more by this author as I think she has a bright future in the publishing world.

This book is VERY CUTE and is definitely one I would like to add to my collection. Almost too relatable, like has Chetwynd been watching our home for all of 2020???

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc. All opinions are my own.

This is an absolutely adorable comic series about a couple and their 100% percent relatable life choices. I love how the comic itself is mostly monochrome, making any pop of color really stand out. Even though I'm not in a relationship myself, reading about these two and their adventures was so wholesome and relatable, I couldn't help but love them.

I cannot wait to see what Chetwynd comes up with in the future!

Oh my, this comic is about me. And my bf. It talks about us!! And it was so sweet and so fun. And relatable (duh!). I loved the stripes I saw around by this author, but this collection is just the best!! And sometimes it made me think someone has bugged my home, but this is a whole new story! I think that this book would be the perfect present for a loved one. For Christmas or for Saint Valentine's day, maybe. And maybe coupled with a box of chocolates!!

February is the month of love and what better gift could anyone ask for than the magic of Catana Comics. Sweet, everyday kind of love drawn with and adorable flair. I have followed these two cartoon people for what seems like forever on social media and to be able to have them on my coffee table is pure joy! If you're putting together a gift basket for Valentine's day or you just have a bookish guy or gal in your life, it's perfect!

Super relatable & really adorable. Anyone in a long-term relationship (+ those that live together) will see themselves reflected in these comics.

The art style is simple, neat, and just right.

This comic collection is the perfect combination between mushy, cheesy sweetness and everyday petty that exists in today's cohabiting relationships. Somedays, it's all about snuggling and sharing media together. Somedays, it's about squinting at each other until your shared pet chooses the best lap or giving the side eye when all of the chips are gone. It's a charming relatable collection that is both funny and true.

I love Catana's cartoons, the first time I saw a drawing of hers was through Instagram and since then every time I come across one of her drawings I have that same feeling of heat in my chest.
.
They are simple drawings that express everyday life, small situations so proper and natural that they make me smile.
.
Catana and John are the main characters in this comic strip where funny, intimate and familiar situations occur. Things like getting ready to go out, having a pet, preparing dinner or the position in which one relaxes in the living room couch comes out of moments that we all share with someone when we feel loved and do not think about how weird and funny we can see ourselves.
.
One can find oneself looking at a drawing of Catana and saying "that's me", sometimes Catana, sometimes John. Just me with someone else who hugs and smiles at my quirks.
.
This book is so cute and fun that it is necessary in any library.

Thanks to #NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for letting me read this beautiful comic #InLovePajamas by #Catana that celebrates the life of being together, and it will be published the 02 Feb. 2021

Totally delightful slice of life comics. Inspired by artist's (Chetwynd's) life with partner John. Quick read.

Just really fun, sometimes too true. Real pants, varieties of cuddles, after a bad day, socializing, ordering out...

This collection of comics by Chetwynd is a wonderful addition to any bookshelf, and a great follow up to her other books. There is so much in this book that is relatable to those in relationships, from the silly to the small daily moments that have you bursting with joy. This is a sweet little book that is a wonderful way to remind yourself about everything you truly love about your partner.

This was so cute!! It made me smile and laugh so much. This is my first time reading from this author, but I will definitely read more by her soon.

I absolutely love the Catana comics. They are so relatable and just make me feel better in ways about my relationship. Little things that I think are weird or that only my husband and I do she puts in these comics and it's like, Oh someone else does that too. The drawings are cute as always. This one leans a little more towards what most of us have been going through during the pandemic with working from home and such. However, it doesn't bog you down with details or anything. Just cute little slice of life snippets that make me very happy overall.

I love sharing these books with my husband and can't wait until the next one comes out. I hope everyone reads and enjoys this and finds something they can relate to in it.

Loved this comic book by Catana Chetwynd!

These adorable glimpses into a couples life show the good, the bad, and the daily pieces that make a real relationship. You can feel the love and caring from these simple snapshots of random moments.

I really enjoyed reading this, and definitely appreciated their senses of humor. I really felt the realness of this couple, and it gives you such a warm feeling, even as you laugh out loud.

I'd definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to read some sweet and only sometimes sappy comics about love and life being with someone you love.
