Humorous, relatable, millennial-scape, and tender at parts. This was a fun and breezy read in one sitting. Do check Meg's work online for more such relatable content.

This book was hilarious and adorable. There were some moments in this that were familiar. Additionally excellent were the illustrations.

Without a doubt, I'd suggest you read this book.

A funny collection of bouncy cartoons that deftly illustrate the high lows of figuring out adulthood, as meg Adams puts her life on the page, unafraid to show everything she's been through with her art, sexuality, mental health, relationships, and more. Both funny and serious, and overall a delightful read.

Thank you NetGalley/publisher for providing me the eARC in exchange of my honest review.
This book made me laugh so much. I related to so many of the strips in this graphic novel. The art was very cute and the stories were extremely hilarious.

I came across this collection of comics about two married people who are quite the opposites. I've never heard of Meg Adams before, so I went in blank. The short comics were cute and some were very relatable and funny. I laughed out loud a couple of times. I especially loved the comics about self care and mental health. I wish there were more of them in the book. If you're looking for a quick and funny read, this is it!

I’ve followed Meg Adams’ work on social media for a while now and I just love how wholesome and relatable it is. Her art is just fun and easy to enjoy, and I was so excited that there’s a book of her work now! It’s a hit! Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

I had a blast reading this one! Funny and relatable, I laughed at situations I knew and others entirely outside my experience. The graphics are superb and very detailed. I had seen Meg's work occasionally on social media, but never at this magnitude, so I don't think you need to be a fan to enjoy it.
I foresee this book being a great gift for any partner on Valentine's Day. Also the perfect self-gift for any forever alone that just wants to have a good read. <3
(4.5/5).

I was already a fan of Meg Adams, I’ve been following her Instagram for years now. Her comics are cute, relatable, and don’t shy away from tackling more serious subjects like mental health or family issues. I also have two small dogs like she does so it gives me a kick to see the dog mom vibes represented. Her relationship with her husband could literally be my husband and I! A solid first collection of comics, I look forward to more from her!

NetGalley arc!

Very relatable comics, I’ve been following Meg for a while and always found her comics funny and, how to put it, normal, in a way. Like I said I can relate to a lot of them but they’re also very true to life and how people go on about their days. I’d love to read more of her comics in the future for sure!

Miigweetch NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Fun, silly, and relatable. This is an easy, breezy read. I enjoyed the comic style and felt it complemented the subject matter. I recommend this to all cohabiting millennials, especially if you find yourself in an “odd couple” situation.

loved everything of this graphic novel/collection of comics! The drawings are so cute and funny. The gags are super fun and incredibly relatable, since me and my boyfriend have the exact same dynamics! I also appreciated the more serious pages about anxiety, self love, mental health: they are subtle and gentle, and make you think about significant stuff with a smile on your face anyway.

A cute, "opposites attract" graphic novel with great artwork and many funny moments featuring Meg (extrovert) and her husband Carson (introvert).

It was the read i needed to take a break from the lengthy books i read nowadays. I read it in one sitting and it wasn't boring at all. The relationship between Meg and Carson was pretty sweet.

A graphic novel definitely worth the read!

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read an Advanced Copy.

That moment when you open up a graphic novel full of shorts and you immediately recognize yourself in every single one!

I absolutely love collections of short comics that depict everyday life. Why Are You Like This is a collection of comics with a millennial take on marriage, adulthood, pet ownership, self-love, and self-care. Each and every one of these comics was so totally relatable, I almost felt like Meg Adams was spying on my life! This book is perfect for fans of Debbie Tung's Book Love and Sarah Anderson's Sarah's Scribbles Collections.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this eARC. Ths graphic novel collection releases on March 7, be sure to preorder your copy now!

This comic is really cute and fun to read. I gotta say that I totally understand the *plant mom vibes*.
The illustrations are very pretty and I love the fact that the dogs are almost always included.

I recommend as a quick read.

CUTE. FUNNY. RELATABLE.
I have followed Meg on Instagram for awhile and was soooo happy to hear she was putting her amazing talents into a book! Many of these comic strips made me actually laugh out loud. The way she draws herself and partner is hilarious and also always fitting. She has a way of being able to match the dialogue with the faces of the characters that I just love. And let's not forgot about those dogs, I mean, their personalities were jumping off the page. The biggest thing about this book that got me is how freaking relatable it is. Her and her partner are eerily similar to me and my partner. I felt like I could have written these ideas as well because many of them have literally happened to us. Or maybe she somehow knew about the things me and partner do and say and react and then put it in a book. So that was kind of strange but also such a fun experience. I don't know the number of times I had to stop and show my partner and say, "Hey look it's us!" Great work Meg!

I received an advance review copy through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily
