This was a pretty fun graphic novel to read. The comics were clever and gave me some strong laughs. It did a great job giving readers a peek into a simpler side of a relationship. Fans of this comic will want to check this graphic novel out.

This collection of comics depicts sweet everyday moments between Catana and her fiancé.

I love her cartooning style and how she highlights ordinary moments that are really quite special. This is the perfect, cozy read for Valentine’s Day.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel for this eARC.

You guys, I love these comic collections so much. There isn't too much to say other than I really love them. Catana Comics brought me so much joy during a hard time in my life, and ever since then I buy each new collection that comes out. I share them with my husband as I read them as well, since so many of our messages on Facebook and Instagram include sending these comics back and forth to each other. They make me laugh as I read them, and whenever I am having a bit of a hard day I know that I can take one of these collections off of my bookshelf and reread them to brighten my morning.

I would absolutely recommend these comic collections to anyone. They are quick, light, wholesome, and heartwarming reads. I think that these are perfect to read on a grey and drizzly day, or maybe just to keep by your bed to read one when you wake up in the morning, to start your day off on a bright note.

My Review:⭐️⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5 stars

I have been a huge fan of Catana’s comics for a few years now so I was ecstatic to find out there was a new book just in time for Valentines Day. I send these pictures of this adorable couple to my husband on an almost daily basis exclaiming, “IT US / IT ME!” This is a great gift to a partner - these drawings are just so darn cute!

Thank you to Andrew McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

SO CUTE!
I love Catana and her comics are really relatable for me and my partner, minus a dog and adding a cat.
So many of these became a sticker for my messenger and I love her.

Ridiculously cute and sweet! The art was adorable, the couple relatable, and the whole thing was just heartwarming. I need to go back and read Little Moments of Love and Snug, and I can’t wait!

While I enjoyed Catana Chetwynd’s first collection, it was a bit too cutesy for me. This one, however, struck a different chord with me. While it’s still pretty cutesy, it’s also a bit toned down and more about being an established couple. Plus, after 2020, who doesn’t need something pure and sweet?



The general theme of the collection is being loved, weirdness and all, and for the most part, I found the comics charming and worth a giggle. I wouldn’t say they’re laugh-out-loud funny, and that’s not the intent. They’re not the kind of comics you have to send to everyone because “omg it’s so funny,” they’re the ones you send to your significant other because they remind you of your relationship. There’s lots of silliness about choosing to stay in and cuddle rather than going out, bits about their dog, and just generally how weird they are, together.



The artist has a very recognizable style, with characters with adorably big heads and eyes. It’s deceptively simple line art done mostly in greyscale, but the characters are still very expressive, though John’s beard/hair combo took a little to get used to. The lettering also emphasizes roundness (and adds to the cuteness) but I found it easily readable.



Overall, this collection has perfect timing, as it’s the exact sort of thing I could see someone buying their significant other for Valentine’s Day.

I received an advance review copy of this book from NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I've read the other books by this author and have seen some comics around online as well. I have always found her work to be relatable. This book had a lot of fun and short comics of a straight relationship. I could identify with a lot of the scenes depicted and found quite a few of them chuckle worthy.

I received an ARC of In Love & Pajamas thanks to the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Catana comics have been a part of my husband and I's 'cuteness' for the past few years. Every once and a while I'll give a picture of one of the comics sent to me with something along the lines of 'this is us'. My husband has bought me the first two books and we plan on getting this one as well, even though I have already read it.

I love love love these. The art style is adorable. The strip are typically one page long so very quick to read. Each and everyone make me smile. If you have not heard of Catana comics, you absolutely need to look them up right now for a quick pick-me-up! I cannot wait to add the physical copy to my shelves and flip through it whenever I feel down or in need of uber-cuteness.

Must read!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I've followed Catana's comics on instagram so I'm familiar with her comic style and themes. Her comics were endlessly relatable and a joy to read.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

These comics make me smile so much! I love reading them and then showing them to my husband to be like, “Look, it’s us!” From the lounging on the couch to not wanting to leave our bed to always wanting to squeeze his peach. I’m sure a ton of couples can relate to all of the cute antics they also get up to. This book is just so so cute!

*Thanks NetGalley for an advanced copy.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrew McMeel Publishing for allowing me to read this comic collection in exchange for an honest review.

If you've been anywhere on the internet, chances are you've come across Catana Comics before at least once. The sweet and relatable depictions of every day life with your partner always bring a smile to my face and this collection doesn't disappoint in the slightest.

Now, I'll say that I've seen my fair share of Catana Comics floating around facebook and twitter so I was expecting to see a few familiar ones, but nope. Every page was a surprise. I think this would be the perfect gift for your significant other or a favorite couple in your life. It is incredibly wholesome and positive, something we desperately need these days.

A collection of simple drawings/comics depicting life as a couple.....totally in love & accustomed to each other, enjoying being together. It's certainly a 'warm fuzzy' of a book, & many relatable scenes! A nice book for a Valentine's Day gift. 3.5 stars in rating might be more accurate.
I received an e-ARC from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley, in return for reading it & posting my own fair/honest review.

Catana Chetwynd's new comic book, "In Love & Pajamas" is the next chapter in her life with John. It is much of the same from her previous collection, "Snug." It is a laugh-out-loud snapshot of the ridiculousness about relationships between a man and a woman.

From waking up without any covers on you in the middle of the night, to remembering to get your partner a coffee in the morning to getting ready in 5 minutes when you are running late in the morning, Ms. Chetwynd covers the numerous endearing and hilarious happenings in the day-to-day in a relationship.

This was a great collection to give your loved one to remind her of how much you care about her. Guys, Valentine's Day is right around the corner!

If you liked Soppy by Philippa Rice, you should also like In Love & Pajamas by Catana Chetwynd. The book is made up of short comics that describe various aspects of a happy relationship. The comics are simple and in black and white, but also cute and relatable.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.
