Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC. My opinions are my own.

When I tell you that I identified strongly with this little nugget, I am not joking.

This is a very cute and very relatable little comic. If you are an anxious and introverted person I think you will find this very relatable. If not, well then at least it has the self-degrading humor that some find funny.

The art is simple and works well, I did find the constant tears on our little nugget to be a little ... Unnecessary? But that is a very minor nitpick.

Overall, this is a very cute and simple comic. A nice little snack of a book.
I am giving this 3 stars, it was cute but nothing really special.

Sad Nuggie: Life is Sweet and Sour is an almost wordless comic about a tearie-eyed nugget battling modern life.

I never thought a chicken nugget could be so relatable! Sad Nuggie deals with the topics of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, loneliness, and the minutia of life in an adorable comic format. From the opening pages, moving into his little nuggie home (box?) to the mishaps of peopling and therapy, and so on.

The illustrations are adorable, and the situations utterly relatable.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy of Sad Nuggie in exchange for an honest review.

I've been a fan of Sad Nuggie on social media for a while now so I was excited to see the book available to request.

Life is Sweet and Sour is a collection of quick and easy to read comics of Sad Nuggie going about his day which is incredibly relatable. It is mostly told via imagery with a sprinkling of text and dialogue but the understanding of what is happening is easy to grasp.

I love the art style and Sad Nuggie is such an adorable character and he feels so relatable with all of the different scenarios he faces.

A very relevant section of comics about adulthood, anxiety, and depression. I have enjoyed and related to the Sad Nuggie comics for a while and I enjoyed this book.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this in advance. I leave this review voluntarily.

Cute, simple and relatable. I knew Sad Nuggie from social media but never seen him in a comic with a more linear story. It was a quick and cute read but I expected it to be a little funnier. All in all enjoyable.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I have been a fan of Sad Nuggie for a while and I found this book to the the cutest addition to it's story!!
Would highly recommend, specially if you're already a fan.

This was cute and relatable. We've all seen Sad Nuggie on social media, and I was excited to see a full book about it. However, it was a bit of a deception. It wasn't as funny as I expected, and without humor, there wasn't much in there...

As a person with anxiety, Sad Nuffield is so relatable. The graphics are adorable and it’s a quick read, filled with valuable lessons that we can learn from.

This was adorable. who doesn't wanna see a sad nuggie try and get through life? The art is really well done as well. A cute fast and fun read for all!

This is a collection of mini-comics about a nugget just trying to get through life. It shows the struggles they face, including going to therapy, and touches on some really tough topics. It's a powerful and relatable read, especially for anyone dealing with depression or sadness. This book does a great job of making heavy topics feel a little lighter while still being meaningful.

This is a book based on webcomics of the same name. It’s more of a linear story than a collection of comics. The story itself is relatable but pretty simple. I expected a bit more from it, so for that reason I didn’t love this, but it was a quick read and the style is very cute.

I love Sad Nuggie! Very relatable comics and themes with an adorable, cute art style made this impossible not to enjoy.

Who knew a chunk of breaded chicken could be so relatable. Wonderfully illustrated and very cute, perhaps not fully my sense of humour but enjoyable nonetheless.

This book is soo cute and so very relatable. I enjoyed reading this and I think this is a book that everyone will enjoy whether they are a reader or not.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the digital ARC. I absolutely loved this. A collection of strips about sad nuggie’s day to day life. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad, and all relatable one way or another. A fun read that I’ll be picking up again.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a pretty cute slice of life book. A lot of it is relatable. I haven't been a follower before reading this book so I wasn't sure what to expect. The illustrations were simple but well done.
