This is the cutest look at life with an extrovert and introvert and so so many of them were me and my husband. I think I showed him half of them like "babe it's us!!!!" so I'd say it went well. For some reason comics have really been speaking to me lately and this was no exception.

I was having a bad day when I decided to read this graphic novel. Any comic or joke I read rarely makes me laugh out loud but I did it often while reading "Why are you Like this?"
What an absolute delight! I want a relationship like Meg has with Carson, I'm so jealous!!! From the first page where they both welcome the reader is, I think, one of the first times I've seen a comic address me directly. Brillliant and funny.
Meg Adams' artwork is great at showing emotions, the look on Carson's face when she says she nuked yesterday's coffee is priceless and exactly how I would be looking. Horror...pure horror! lol
Highly recommended when you need a laugh.
Thanks to @netgalley and Meg Adams for the opportunity to read this eArc in exchange for my honest and unbiased review

Why Are You Like This? An interesting question answered in very short, relatable comics by Meg Adams. I had never heard of her prior to reading this. I was attracted to the book because of the description which was a fun take on marriage. It was fun indeed. I am reading this as an Advanced Reader Copy but if I wasn't, I would want to share some of these on social media because they are so relatable. I didn't understand or relate to every single page, but I laughed out loud often enough for my family members in the other room to ask me what I was doing. What I love about this book is how relatable some of the panels felt. You know those quirky things you do or think that make you wonder if anyone else feels or thinks them? Well they are in this book. There are so many things that I couldn't help but laugh at because they were so true. I love the relationship that she has with her husband. As a work of art, the drawings are great. I love how sometimes the drawings are blurry to show movement. I like how her face changes when she is thinking or doing different things. Most of all, I love how real she draws her body. I love that she depicts herself with stretch marks and belly fat. It is so real, I love it.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone that wants a quick, fast, humorous read. Enjoy!!!

*****SPOILERS*****
About the book:Opposites attract” has never rung truer when it comes to vivacious extrovert Meg and her level-headed introvert husband, Carson. Carson makes his coffee with only the finest locally roasted beans; Meg microwaves two-day-old joe. Carson is reserved and rarely opens up to friends; Meg ensures everyone in her life—including her mailman—knows about her hemorrhoid. From the joys of marrying your best friend to the bizarre musings of a twelve-pound pup to the humor and heartbreak of anxiety, Meg’s all-too-relatable comics leave no stone unturned. Dorky and downright hilarious, Why Are You Like This? explores what it means to make fun of oneself and find laughter in the little things.

What I Liked:
1. The art is good

What I Didn't Like:
1. I feel like I've seen this artwork before
2. Most of the jokes fell flat for me

Overall Thoughts:
As a fellow Meg (though I go by Megan) I can say we are all weird. I'd say she forgot to say how she's late to almost everything - because Megan's are always late to everything.

Book was cute. The relationship between Meg and Carson was heartwarming and sweet.

The artwork was entertaining. Reading the book went fast and I wasn't bored or felt like it was drawn out (get it?)

Final Thoughts:
I feel as though this book was "missing something". For the most part some parts were like "Yeah, that's funny or that's sad" , but it was just okay.

I'd love to see what else Meg Adams puts out next.

Recommend For:
• People that like comics
• Strong husband & wife teams
• Dog owners
• Halloween obsessed people

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh em gee! This was my first comic book read, but it won’t be my last. I honestly wasn’t sure to expect from this, but I caught myself giggling out loud. My family would look over at me like I was crazy, so I had to read a few pages to them. The pictures went perfectly with it too! This book is so relatable with my husband and even friends! I definitely recommend this! It’s a great book to have around when you want to read and need to laugh too!

A funny compilation from ArtByMoga, that kept me laughing at each panel. The art is vibrant and colorful, and the facial expressions are priceless! I love how relatable and quirky, and how she captures moments that have happened to all of us.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a HUGE fan of this artist and a big follower of their cartoons/comics, thrilled to have been given a chance to review their comic collection!

They genuinely capture giddiness, shenanigans and love of Halloween, which I also love, and it's fun to see my partner and I are similar to them; it feels like you share moments and pretend that it is your moments drawn to life. Although their comics also have venerable moments about mental health while they also poke fun sometimes, I believe the mixture of seriousness and pleasure has always been respectful and appreciated by me.

In the end, this is a laugh-out-loud (and the right emojis this time, not like the comic with her mum, lol) and wholesome. I highly recommend this book and hope others can add it to their selves or TBR's for a good pick-me-up comic collection.

This was absolutely hilarious and so, so real to life. I felt seen! I've found a new favorite artist.

A cute and fun comic collection by Meg Adams. There's not a storyline throughout, but a bunch of individual pieces that work well collectively.

I enjoyed this and would definitely look for more work from this author in the future.

Meg Adams, author and illustrator of the popular ArtbyMoga comics, has compiled some of her best known work into one collection. Her work portrays everyday life in a quirky but relatable way. I love the style of her illustrations, especially the way in which she draws facial expressions. While most of her topics are lighthearted she does also cover a few more serious subjects such as anxiety and depression.

I like collections like this that flow but don't have a full storyline. The comics are each a single page and can be read individually. Readers can also read through the whole book in one laugh inducing sitting like I did.

I have followed Meg Adams and ArtbyMoga for years and I am delighted to see some of my favorite of her comics included in this volume. I hope that there will be additional collections in the future.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing!

Have you ever read an autobiography or an interview and thought, "Hey, this person could be my bff..." or "Omg... Why is this person talking about me?"

This was how I felt when I read
#WhyAReYouLikeThis @artbymoga today. The comics and conversation between Meg and Carson are hilarious because it reminds me of my husband and I and because its oh so real.

"Be kinder to myself" is also a resolution for me this year. And I think my younger does deserve that love and compassion. I also identify myself secretly (shhhh!) as a "snack" and indeed that first wash after a cut is the best (hey my head feels lighter!).

Loved this book and truly recommend it. Thanks @netgalley for this #ARC and dear @artbymoga, I cant wait to read (and see) your other advetures. P. S: Sprinkles and peanut butter rocks
P. P. S: Boedy and Luna are adorbs

First of all, a confession: I have always referred to Meg Adams by her online name, @Artbymoga, and it feels weird to change to her real name for this review. I promise I will try my best.

Second of all, this may sound strange but… is Meg Adams… me? Am I Meg Adams? Wait, hear me out, let’s compare for a second:
We are both overthinkers; a ceramic Halloween pumpkin is staring right at me while I write this; I am also part of the group that is lactose intolerant but decides how to face each battle depending on hunger, plans or whether I will be able to rest the next morning; my boyfriend cannot physically stop himself when he is telling one bad joke after the other, …
Nah, I am just kidding, I know I am not Meg Adams because I hate Christmas carols all year round and not only after hearing them non-stop during Christmas season, and I have two cats instead of two dogs. But she is so relatable! I was nodding after each strip, saying ‘that is me’ with a laugh when things were funny, mumbling ‘that is me’ with sorrow when she started throwing truth bomb after truth bomb to my face. I am that little child I would not hurt, my self-care should be what I need and not what I want; I act different if I was the one who made the mistake or if it was someone else.
The eternal cycle of New Year’s resolution hit especially hard because of the proximity of the date.

I could go on and on, but I don’t want to describe each and every single strip in this amazing collection. The art is adorable, by the way, with very exaggerated face expressions and the cuddliest dogs ever, but I think it is superb when she puts little details here and there, like the stretch marks or the chaffing in her thigs.
A funny, intelligent, relatable collection of strips with the perfect mix of depth and heart; that is how I would describe Why are You Like this? by Meg Adams. I hope she never stops sharing her story with us readers.

This book was adorable. Their relationship was so cute, and I loved the art style, how sometimes it would be more exaggerated and cartoonish than others. I highly recommend this to everybody. i love these kinds of books, drawn and written about someone's relationship with their partner.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC.

Cute, fun comics about the author's every day life. I really like her art style. The comics themselves remind me of Sarah's Scribbles.

Thank you for the EArc NetGalley and McMeel Publishing. After I was finally able to figure out how to read this format on my iPad I enjoyed the quick read of this book. The characters are relatable and I love how they are drawn in a “real” way. The topics don’t flow but it is a comic and I don’t know if it’s fair to complain about that. I especially appreciated all the love for the fall season. Really cute book.

Short, funny, relatable collection of comics with beautiful artwork. These are the types of comics I would share on my instagram stories because they are only a few panels and you don't have to swipe through multiple slides to read the full comic/get the full effect. However, because it was in book (or downloadable pdf in this case), I would personally have enjoyed a handful of longer panels strewn throughout. Overall, cute and enjoyable!

4,5⭐
Such a fun and relatable read! Really quick read, perfect if you wanna have a good time, and some laughs. I loved it and instantly went to follow the artist after finishing the book!

Thank you so much to NetGalley for this ARC.

I've seen lots of ArtbyMoga comics online and really enjoyed them. Personally, I would say I preferred coming across one or two at a time rather than reading a whole book in one go, but the book is still a fun read. It would make a good gift for a fan of the artist or of short, funny cartoon strips.

This is an amusing look at every day life that was relatable and humorous. I follow Meg (ArtByMoga) on several social media platforms and enjoyed getting to read her comics together in one place.

Thank you to Netgalley, Meg Adams, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

The art in this was super cute. Not my favorite graphic novel or comic but I’m not mad that I read it.
