Fun story about life with a pug.
Fast, easy and funny read that has some entertaining aspects.
Overall, a cute read that will make you smile.
Thank you to NetGallery, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was so dang adorable! My dog and I could relate to so many things! There were various moments that I caught myself smiling like a lunatic and a few even got a surprised chuckle out of me. The art style is simple and clean. I would have loved it even more if everything had been in full color. Overall, this passed the time quite nicely and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves dogs.

Living With Mochi would make the perfect gift for any pug lover, dog lover, or just plain pet lover around. Inside we find quick little moments into the daily life of Mochi the pug who loves his mom more than anything and has tons of cute quirks. This is a fast read that will make anyone who enjoys animals smile. Looking forward to more adventures with Mochi!

Thank you to Net Galley for this ARC.

I am a fan of the comic so, of course, I had to read the book! I had a horrible day and picked this up as it was bound to bring a smile to my face. And it did. I loved reading Mochi being adorable along with the humans and relaxing with the book. It's also a quick read but yet you could set it down and come back to it if you wanted to as well. It's a must-buy for those who love pugs and/or dogs in general.

WOW! This is just like it was written about my life with my own dogs.
This is a collection of web comics. The graphics were cute! Some were in black and white while others were colorful. I liked how she mixed the b&w and color throughout. It is about her life with her dog. As I mentioned previously, I could relate to most of the comics. I laughed so much. I loved how the dog is a character too. You could actually see what he was thinking as well.
I will be recommending this book for a long time. If you want a cute, quick, and funny book- this is the book for you.

Publisher's blurb: The comics chronicle Mochi’s life from puppyhood to adulthood, featuring Mochi's unrequited dog friendships, his jealousy of his two dog-brothers, and his love of food. Readers and dog parents will love this humorous tale of a sincerely loyal friendship between one grumpy pug and his adoring owner.

Absolutely adorable! Makes me want to go out and buy a pug just so I can name him Mochi. You don't have to be a dog lover to relate to Gene's life with Mochi, all fur parents can relate to how they take over our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way.
I really enjoyed this and even laughed out loud at some of Mochi's antics and even recognized my cats in a few.
Recommend, especially for these days where smiles can be hard to find.

Thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for allowing me to take a look at this graphic novel!

It’s a cute story, especially if you are an animal lover but I feel that it could have been improved if the author introduced like who’s who in the story. Besides that we know she adopted Mochi to become a part of the family (not everyone agrees and that’s ok too!) and how it is rewarding to have a dog around the house to keep ya company (again not everyone has the same mindset). That was the only thing I liked about the novel. The art is simple enough and it does show to be a feel good story but it just didn’t match to my personal expectations. I’ll give it 3 out of 5...

I have followed Gemma on Instagram for a while and always love her comic style posts about her adorable Pug Mochi.
This book encapsulates everything that makes her Instagram so fun to read. Mochi is drawn in the most adorable way, and every little story details the super special bond between a dog and its owner.
Maybe I am biased as a fellow Pug owner, but i always find her stories so relatable and pure.
If you are looking for a great book to flip through to warm your heart this is the book for you.

This is such an adorable comic collection. The art is adorable and I love Mochi's characterization. I recommend to any pet parent.

I requested this comic without knowing anything about it just that it was about dogs and that was more than enough for me. My dog is the best thing in my life so reading a comic book about what it is like to have a dog was the formula for success in my opinion.

In Living with Mochi, Gemma Gene celebrates fur-parenthood and the extreme love you experience when you look into your dog’s eyes.

This comic book is easy to read, I read it in less than 1 hour and still it became one of my favorite books. Living with Mochi is a nearly perfect representation of what is it like to be a dog owner and treating your dog like your child. I had to show my mom almost all of the scenarios the author depicted because I truly felt represented.

Living with Mochi made me laugh out loud several times, Gemma Gene managed to perfectly describe what we think goes on in our dog´s head and all of the scenarios were things I could picture my fog doing without a doubt.

I have every intention on reading everything that the author comes out with and as soon as this comic book is released I am going to get myself a copy. Truly an outstanding read and a story that will make your heart warm.

Overall Living with Mochi is a fast, fun, cute and realistic comic book about what it is like to be a dog owner. I truly recommend this book if you are looking for a fun story, cute drawing and an overall good laugh.

Living With Mochi was an absolutely adorable read. As someone with three dogs, I could strongly relate to having pets with Mochi's big personality (and lack of boundaries...). The art style was cute and simple and worked very well for the humorous and lighthearted tone throughout the book, and I loved how the book was split up.

I would have liked to see an 'End' chapter to parallel the 'Beginning' chapter, as the book felt like it ended slightly abruptly. Other than that, the book was very cute and perfect for pet owners with dogs who are convinced they're human or really anyone who adores dogs and pugs!

Living with Mochi chronicles the day to day life of Mochi and his Mami. Mochi is an adorable, slightly overweight, not-at-all lazy (cough) fawn pug. The comics are so sweet and relatable--I don't have a pug, but I do have a smaller dog, and could relate to most of the comics--the begging for human food, the sleeping in positions that seemingly are designed to make it as uncomfortable as possible for humans, and holy cow, the boundaries chapter! Gemma could have been writing about my dog instead of hers.

This book is a must read for anyone who loves pugs, and really dog lovers in general. Mochi is adorable and his antics are hilarious.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

Hahah - this book is so so so funny! If you've ever had a dog that truly believes it is a human you need to read this book. Although it has been years since I've had a fur baby, this was so relatable. Mochi really is a baby; not a puppy.

Adorable comic about the joys and trials of living with a pet. Mochi is a pug who rules his house. I can relate, I have a cat that rules mine.

Good for pet owners and animal lovers.

I was granted eARC access to Living With Mochi by Gemma Gené through the publisher Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

Living with Mochi is a collection of comics about Mochi the pug and the life of a pet owner presented in a roughly chronological order (getting Mochi comes first, etc.) and it's absolutely hilarious! Every pet parent knows the woes of convincing their pet to accept the type/amount of food they're given, and every pet parent has experienced either too much or too little affection from said pet at different times. These little comics with Mochi illustrate those joys with honest humour and beautifully simplistic drawings that will warm any animal lover's heart.

You may already know about Mochi and his talented human Gemma through their various online presences and absolutely adorable merch, but this is your chance to get a whole lot of pure Mochi stories all in one offline place. I highly recommend this to both Mochi's fans and all pet/animal lovers alike.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an eARC of this comic compilation in exchange for an honest review.

Living with Mochi is Mochi the Pug's adorable journey from puppyhood to adulthood with his loving human parents, based on Gemma's real life pug. The illustrations remind me a little of a more polished and stylized version of Simon's Cat with some Garfield influence and they are all lovely with this greyscale watercolor effect.

One thing that really struck me is how much Mochi really seems like a pug which reflects how much Gemma loves her puppy. There are so many unique puggish mannerisms that reminded me of my own pug, Phoebe. They really have a larger than life personality and Mochi is no exception.

This really is a love letter to not just pugs but dogs everywhere. Dog lovers and pug owners alike will find their little furry companions in Mochi and it'd be a perfect gift for anyone with a similar furbaby. I really enjoyed it!

Is this like most Life with [insert pet's name] book? Yep. Did I love it? Yup. Do I want more? Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup...

Living With Mochi is an adorable comic about a dog and his relationship with his owner.

It’s quick and easy to read, and it is perfect for a break from reality. There’s no deeper story, it’s just small comics, so therefore it’s great if you need to forget about the bad things in life for some time and focus on a cute dog.

The story is very personal, which made it harder to relate to. I don’t know any of the people in the story, but it is still cute to read about their relationship with Mochi.

The art style is very cute and fits the comic well.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Everything about this book is so cute! The art style, the story, Mochi, everything!! Absolutely adorable!

This was pure serotonin in comic format. I absolutely adore mochi and the art style! It's also very relatable, since all dogs have a little bit of mochi in them.

I loved how it was formatted in chapters and how each focused on different parts of mochi's life. I highly recommend this comic if you're in the mood for something sweet and quick to read!
