Sad Nuggie could be so relatable at times! My heart <3 The illustrations are wonderfully cute and so are the stories, even if some of them made me feel a bit sad! But... it's okay to feel sad, thank you Sad Nuggie!

Sad Nuggie Life is Sweet and Sour is a cute take on navigating the challenges of adulting as a chicken nugget. You'll enjoy it if you ever wanted to grow up to be a chicken nugget.

I never imagined I would relate so strongly to a cartoon chicken nugget, yet here we are. This was such an adorable read, but also very meaningful at the same time. The struggles of this chicken nugget are the struggles of us all, honestly, and I loved it. The art style was super cute, and while the story is very simplistic, I think it's perfect for what it is! I would recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with life, and honestly, who isn't?

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-ARC.

I never heard about Sad Nuggie before but now I'm a fan. These short comics are so adorable and relatable! I never expected I'd find myself in a cute chicken nugget.

I received a digital ARC of this from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for review. Sad Nuggie is a book about a Sad Nuggie trying to find his way in the weird and experiencing life’s ups and downs from dating to scary situations to things that make us anxious. This book was really relatable and very cute. I loved following Sad Nuggie on his adventures and found many relatable moments.

Read this with my 9 year old. We have loved Sad Nuggie for some time, so this was a fun find. She loved flipping through to see why Sad Nuggie is so sad. Great illustrations.

I've never heard of Sad Nuggie before, but needless to say, I'm a fan.

Highly relatable content.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you netgalley for kindly providing me with an arc!

This was absolutely adorable. An extremely relatable book of comic strips portaying the triumphs and (more often than not) failures of a nugget, it made for a cozy and funny reading experience!

I picked it up on a whim, and something about the wholesome millennial humour of it made for such a charming reading time, I just adored this so much, absolutely recommend it for when you need a good ol' palette cleanser from heavier books (or. You know.... Actual life :') )

I don't know how to write this review other than to say, "Did I write this? It feels like I wrote this." I really love the art of this sad little nuggie.

Such a cute and easy to read comic about a sad little nuggie just trying his best. A graphic novel perfect for someone going through a rough time who needs help feeling less alone. The concepts are universal but simple, so this could be great for even a child dealing with hard emotions.

Thank you Andrews McMeel Publishing & NetGalley for the arc.

This book is a great reminder that a universal truth regarding life is that it sometimes doesn't go the way you expect it to. Some people are flexible enough to roll with the punches. Then there are the rest of us who completely understand Sad Nuggie's vibe. Just like Sad Nuggie, we get a bit overwhelmed by "normal" life activities but as long as we keep pushing forward, celebrating small wins, we're going to be okay! The bold illustrations and positive message of Sad Nuggie will put a smile on your face giving you encouragement on the days when life is just a little too much to deal with.

The illustrations in this were so precious. (I dont think I have ever thought of chicken nuggets as precious before...but here we are)
And so many topics and experiences were so relatable. A quick but enjoyable read!!

first of all, I've never heard anything about Sad Nuggie before, though apparently the account is quite big. but anyway.

this is a short comic collection about an anxious little nugget navigating the big world, which seemed to can't do anything right and never in luck's favor. A bit relatable but overall so random. it's not doing much for me I'm so sorry. the llustration style is cute tho.

Sad Nuggie is so cute and the story it tells is so relatable. Life is unpredictable and hard to navigate, Sad Nuggie reminds us that looking after yourself is hard. Things like eating healthy, socialising and self care are hard tasks that adults have trouble maintaining everyday. This cute comic reminds me to keep going, because eventually it will get easier.

I think this is a great book for teens and people in their early 20s. This helps remind them the them aren't alone, everyone is struggling to look after themselves.

Sad Nuggie explores various aspects of adulting while periodically going to therapy for new ideas. In my opinion, the best part was when Nuggie tries app dating on "Tender," which made me laugh out loud. The illustrations are cute, and the idea of an anthropomorphized chicken nugget is new and fun.

Overall a fantastic graphic novel about a chicken nugget and their path to self love with the support of their therapist. Just so cute, really thoughtful and at times heart rendering and at other times funny. Actually had some very meaningful message which I think could be really helpful for adults and children alike. think the concept was just so interesting and felt very neurodiverse aware which is unusual in a therapy book let alone a graphic novel. I think it would be a perfect gift for someone. I do think it’s a shame it wasn’t another item of food because I’m guessing it would put off some vegans or vegetarians but I found it ok and I know no chickens were hurt to make the book. Definitely read to the end where there are details of the illustrator and some bonus drawings. If you like the graphic style I think you would love this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this book for my consideration this is all my own rambling, honest and personal opinions

A very witty comic strip about the mundane life and common struggles of a cute and relatable personified chicken nugget. The book was divided into mini stories that were all endearing and hilarious. The little snippets of his therapy sessions, showing the effects of social anxiety and overthinking, were realistically comical. The art style was so simple yet effective. I highly recommend this for all adults, and will be gifting this to my friends when it comes out.

This was just too cute! It felt so relatable that I got scared at some moments 🤣 I thinks this comic r3flects really well the hurdles of adult life while adding cute illustrations and comedy. Belive it or not, it made me reflect about my current situation and how I approach difficult situations: I should be more positive, but sometimes is okay to make time for myself!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc!

Adorable short-story comic strips that adults will relate to and kids will enjoy. We all face tough times, but Nuggie tackles life's ups and downs with a smile and a ‘can't get any worse’ attitude. This book makes a thoughtful gift for anyone going through a rough patch or as a cheerful get-well present. This book makes a great addition to your library, definitely a reread kind of book.
