Moving in together can mean a great change in your romantic relationship. In the worst-case scenario, you realize that you may not actually know the person, and have to share with the pets. The cats will also give you the stink-eye when you have to leave.

Other times, you learn to appreciate the little things. Relationships are not always going to be exciting whirlwinds. You settle into routines, accepting your flaws and that of your partner's. And that feeling, when you understand each other? It can be the best thing in the world, realizing you've grown together and change in sync.

In a series of comics, Catana Chetwynd helps readers appreciate the little things in a loving relationship. Sharing your favorite movies is one thing, as is making sure the couch is comfy for post-dinner food comas.

I kept reading this collection and smiling. The slice-of-life anecdotes, paired with simple art, make a reader feel good and have faith that relationships can work out. We need this breath of fresh air in the face of reality, when it seems we grow apart from others too fast. Catana Chetwynd is a master at the whimsical maintenance that dictates our daily lives.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book, as this book has already been published, I will not share my review on Netgalley at this time.

These are always such cute little cartoons!!! They hit home a whole lot, which causes a lot of laughter and smiling while reading this. The relationship between the two characters is so fun and realistic, which makes for some funny situations.

I really recommend this to those who enjoy funny cartoons about real life stuff, those who enjoy Catawba Chetwynd’s other works, and those who just need to have a laugh.

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Like all of Catana Chetwynd's other books, this is an endearing, funny and honest collection of comics.

This truly demonstrates how 'home' can really be a person or a feeling, or both.

I loved the depictions of every day moments in a relationship, the quirks, the balancing of one another. The joy in celebrating small and big milestones.
How you can be yourself and still be someone's safe haven, someone's home.

Very sweet and I can't wait to read more of her works!

This was a cute graphic novel that has short little vignettes of life as a couple. It was funny and entertaining, definitely recommend it as a quick pick me up type of read.

I love Catana Chetwynd I follow her on social media and love her comics and graphic novels. They are so related able and I am always sharing them with my boyfriend because I am looking at my own relationship in her work. Makes me feel so happy when I read her books.

I frequently send Catana Chetwynd's comics to my husband because they often remind me of our relationship. Her newest collection, "You Are Home" focuses on the milestones of a relationship and how being with the person you love is what makes your house a home. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves other similar comic creators such as Sarah Andersen and Allie Brosh.

Loved this new collection by Catana Chetwynd. Her comics are always so heartwarming and funny at the same time. I absolutely enjoyed reading this one! I'd highly recommend it.

Catana Chetwynd's comics are wonderful! In this latest installment, Catana continues the theme of adorably cute and relatable relationship comics. Each page contains another short black and white illustration of an everyday moment in the life of Catana and her partner, John. I particularly enjoy how the comics show relationships in a quirky but healthy fashion. Overall, I definitely recommend this collection along with the author's other fantastic books. Thank you to netgalley for providing me with an electronic copy of this book for review.

This latest collection by Catana is just as warm and comforting as her previous volumes. I read this cover to cover twice and then went through the ones that best represented our daily lives with my husband. It's a wonderful gift for the person who has become your home!

This is still very cute. I worry that she's going to run out of inspiration since these all come from her own life. I'd read another one if she kept drawing.

Absolutely love Catana's work and this one really felt like "home". I could see most of this in my SO's and I's lives (except for cats since we don't have any.. yet). It's a light read, you can go back to this anytime you want, it's hilarious and definitely relatable!

These comics are so sweet and lovely. I found myself making certain pages to share with my spouse because they reminded me of us.

I love all of Catana’s books and have the rest for myself and my partner. I’m sure, like everyone else, we can relate to the comics and often find ourselves going “look it’s us!” at the scenes she sets. It’s cute, it’s adorable, it’s a perfectly warm-hearted fuzzy feeling good read you need.

Thank you #NetGalley and publisher for the ARC of #YouAreHome in exchange for the review.

This is the third of the fourth book by this author. It collects her selection of her daily comic strips. They are a fan favorite and greatly loved by all. To me they’re OK. They’re just a little more mushy than I like but I do enjoy when she puts out her full books. I find they are a quick happy read to help reset any bad day

"You Are Home" by Catana Chetwynd is a fantastic comic that captures what it means to be in a normal mundane loving relationship with a partner. Sometimes it is hilarious, other times it is touching, but it is always poignant and always seems to connect in all the right ways. It is beautifully hilarious and should be savored again and again.

This is one of the best books that I have absolutely fallen in love with. It is soo soothing and peaceful that it just simply makes my day. Just simply go and pick up any page or any comic and then it will instantly make u smile while lifting up your mood by ten folds. The drawings are soo cute and with addition to those heart warming dialogues. It's just perfect for everyone. A must read.
