I love all of her comics. I often show them to my husband. I’ve even given him one of her books for Valentines Day.

This book is so relatable to couples. They’re cute one page comics that just show everyday life with the person you decide to share your life with.

This is very cute and sweet. These G-rated comics celebrate the coziness of being loved up and living together and are definitely warm and fuzzy, if not particularly passionate or profound. They're more of a journey through the soft, contented security of happy domestic life when one has found their person. It would make a great gift for couples wanting to celebrate moving in together or for romantic occasions like anniversaries, Valentine's Day, etc.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Another fun and adorable title from Catana Chetwynd about love and relationships. I think all readers can relate to these comics. I highly recommend this title for adults looking for a laugh.

I was so excited when I saw Catana was releasing another book! Since discovering “In Love & Pajamas”, I have been a loyal follower of Catana Comics. This was another cute creation that didn’t disappoint.

Still featuring the topics of everyday life with Jon (Catana’s real life partner) and their cute dog, this collection of four-panel comics featured the moments when a relationship had levelled up. It was as heartwarming as a cup of coffee.

“In Love & Pajamas” is still my favourite but this isn’t far behind. Pick this up if you’re in need of an instant mood enhancer.

I love this 2D couple! The situations the characters find themselves in are almost always something I have experienced with a partner but in a good way. Each page is just filled with something heart warming and relatable. I find this comic couple endearing and are the only relationship I will ever refer to as "relationship goals"

Truly love this series of comics. I have a sweet spot for Catana Chetwynd’s comics, each one puts a smile on my face and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. So happy to have another book from her.

**I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***

I absolutely ADORED this book! The little slice-of-life moments are so sweet and I found myself relating to a lot of them. I also got a chuckle out of my significant other who commented "Just change the physical features, and it could be us." I love that the author/artist creates such simple images that can provide such a big impact. A fun, quick, sweet read that I could enjoy time and time again.

I just love the Catana Comics! They're always so joyful and bring a smile to my face. While I can't directly relate to the scenarios that are portrayed (I haven't found my soulmate just yet), the comics still put a smile on my face and fill me with hope that I, too, will have these special moments too.

The comics are always a quick, light-hearted read, and are perfect for when you are in a reading slump, or to break up a series of intense books. This is my third book by Catana Chetwynd, and I can't wait to see what else she has in store!

Certainly the best work of Catana yet. This collection of comics focused more on her AND John. Their relationship seemed cuter and she seemed less weird...because they both are weird together and in love :)

First of all, I want to give thanks for the review copy. For two years now, I have enjoyed every single comic that Catana has drawn. Her real life happenings and occurrences with her fiancé are so hilarious that I have to admit, that I too am John in specific ways. I highly recommend this book because it will definitely make you laugh and smile at anytime.

How cute is this?! Each situation is short, between 1 and 4 panels. The relationship portrayed will feel familiar to plenty of readers, with one high-energy, more impulsive person and one more laid-back person.

Short and quick but adorable. Not required reading or a required purchase for libraries, but it would make a cute gift for or between a couple who resemble this one.

Thank you to @netgalley and @andrewsmcmeel gifting me this eARC of one of my favourite illustrators ad comic creators @catanacomics ❤️

You Are Home is a glimpse into relationships, the cute little moments, hilarious adventures and milestones.

I found myself laughing out loud at the relatable conversations and situations.
This is such a sweet collection and I only wish I could get myself a hard copy ❤️🏡

Another really sweet collection by Catana Chetwynd. I really enjoy seeing her life portrayed this way and how relatable these two are.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

Catana Chetwynd chronicles her relationship in the most humorous and loving way. The art style is very simple, so the writing is where she really shines. Definitely worth the read if you enjoy humorous graphic novels.

The introduction states that this collection of Catana Comics is intended to act as a testament to the idea that a person or a relationship can be home as much as or more than a place, and to show the pleasure of being at home in one’s place, with one’s person, or both. This is best exemplified by the comic on Page 80.

Reading this, there were a number of times when I had to poke my partner and show him relatable comics (Catana Comics are almost always relatable, but some are more relatable than others), but I’m not sure that this volume really achieves the stated goal of conveying a sense of “home in person/home in place.” I would be more inclined to say that it’s a collection of good moments in a strong relationship between two people who support each other just right. Which, I guess is home in person, but it seems to lack the emotional poignancy that the author’s other collections have had. It’s still funny! It’s just less poignant.

It's always so much fun to read this author's work and this book too is an amazing read. Relatable, comforting and absolutely adorable. I am totally convinced now that I will read all the books this author will publish because they're all so amazing. I highly recommend everyone to read this one too!

You Are Home is all sorts of adorable goodness that you just can’t put down. Though this book’s series of slice of life comics are very clearly tailored to feature the author and her husband, this is one of the most relatable relationship book comic you could possibly ever pick up.

I had so much fun peeking into the various day-to-day moments of their lives, giggling as I recognized myself and my fiancée within the pages. It’s no question that I deeply appreciate the heartwarming nature of this collection and can’t wait to share pieces of it with my own partner. I’m sure he’ll see some of us within the book, as well.

I loved this little book just as much as many of Catana's others. Cute and funny and completely relatable. I received an e-arc of this title but will be buying a physical copy of our coffee table. Her illustrations are adorable and I could totally see myself and my husband in her comics. Can't wait to see what she does next!

Thanks to Netgalley and the editors for letting me read an ARC of this book!

This is the fourth volume of Catana Chetwynd, a collection of funny comics describing her relationship.
The daily life of this couple is represented: so simple and very sweet. They understand each other clearly by communicating only with a glance.
This glimpse of daily life is the kind of love that I really like to see represented; after the first passionate falling in love, what does a relationship look like?

I loved it all!
