Catana Chetwynd continues her Catana Comics in Snug: A Collection of Comics about Dating Your Best Friend. Due for a timely February release (Valentine's gift anyone?), Catana's adorable art style and relatable comic panels are just as enjoyable in this collection.

I have been a fan of Catana's webcomics for quite some time and her simplistic visual style makes for such an aesthetically appealing yet accessible product in all of her works.

So excited to read anything this author comes up with!

I used to see these comics online all the time and have always had a special place in my heart for them. If you're looking for a sweet slice of life, this is it. Obviously, as the description and title suggest, the "main characters" of the comics are a (presumably long term) couple, and their exploits are just simple things that anyone in a couple can identify with. Sometimes romantic, sometimes funny, sometimes just painfully accurate, each panel is beautiful in its simplicity.

This is a quick read, but definitely one you could come back to repeatedly.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for letting me read and review this wonderfully fun, entertaining and adorable comic.
My husband introduced me to these comics by Catana Chetwynd a while ago because they are so similar and accurate at describing us and our relationship with our quirkiness and everything.
It's a quick, light read full of cute, quirky and very relatable comics with simple, yet fun and great drawings as well.
If you haven't read or checked these comics out, you really should. They are so entertaining, quirky and full of adorkable cuteness between two best friends.

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

I love love LOVE Catana Comics and this book is not different. Its a bit eerie how similar the comics are to my life with my husband but its really great having a comic I can actually relate to.

I absolutely love Catana and I really enjoyed reading this.

I wish i had more merchandise and books by them!

Overall, a great great book!

This was so cute! I just kept screenshotting and sending them to my husband. If you’re in a relationship you will find this so funny.

This graphic novel is so cute! It's a collection of short comics all about Catana, the artist, and her boyfriend John. You can clearly see how much they love each other and the comics are lovely.
This book is going to be published at the beginning of February and I honestly think it would make the perfect Valentine's Day's present for your significant other.

Snug is the second collection from Catana Comics, one of my favorite comics creators. I love the sweet, relatable comics Catana creates, and love sharing them with my boyfriend, as they are often very similar to our relationship. This would be a great gift for an anniversary, other special occasion, or just as a little reminder to your special someone that you love them.

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC!

Sweet and real. I was able to identify and swoon over so many of these adorable comics. They depict my marriage to my best friend in such a cute and authentic way. I enjoyed this so much because it is so honest. I have done so many of these actions with my spouse and even if he is annoyed by them we both smiled while paging through these comics. I want this in a desk calendar!!!

I just read this with my husband and I love how relatable the comics in this are. they are absolutely adorable as well! Reading them makes me feel so seen and tbh I love that feeling! I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on this and just see all the cute little drawings!

I never get tired of Catana's comics, and this collection was just as adorable as I expected it to be. My spouse and I always love these because we feel like they're so very us. Honestly, nobody nails "relatable" humor quite as well as Catana does when it comes to cute, casual couple stuff!

If it tells you anything about how much I loved this, despite being the sort of person who almost never pre-orders finished copies of comic collections, I ran off to pre-order this the moment I finished my eARC because I needed it for my shelf (just like I did with Catana's last collection, which I reread often, and fondly ♥). I absolutely recommend picking it up, especially if you're in a long-term relationship and can relate to the cute, goofy things comfortable couples do with each other.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I love Catana comics and follow the author on Instagram. Most of these comic strips were new and not previously published online. Each comic strip is relatable for anyone in a relationship. Feel good, heartwarming stuff. I saved most of them to show my other half that 'it's not just me' or 'not just us' or just to put a smile on his face. Hope there are many more to come from Catana.

Every time I see one of these comic strips on my social media feed, I always pause and have a read. It’s relationship goals. So having them all compiled together is perfect for someone like myself who needs hope that the one is out there.

This second volume, collecting the popular and adorable "Catana Comics", is full of cute, relatable, and fluffy comics based around the artist's relationship with her boyfriend. Together, they enjoy cuddling, food, and supporting one another. Relationship goals are met and exceeded as Catana and John easily read each other's expressions to know when it is time to leave the party and go home to make brownies, revel in weather-cancelled plans, and cuddle to balance Catana constantly being cold and John constantly being hot. A perfect gift for newlyweds, a significant other, or just anyone who loves love, "Snug" is a delightful book that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Another gem of a book. I just love how I could relate to so many of the pages. Found myself nodding my head in agreement so many times. It was such a great book to just savour and enjoy because the story being told was so heart warming and loving

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review, "Snug" by Catana Chetwynd. I truly loved these adorable comics! I found a lot of these relatable to my husband and I. This book perfectly captures what life is like with your other half.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this early copy!

I was not surprised when I read Snug in one sitting. I enjoyed Chetwynd's first collection of comics. I believe that I liked this one even more. I find her material relatable and easy to read. I recommend checking them out, 5/5 stars! I just wish it was longer!

I love Catana's daily comics on Instagram, and Snug is a perfectly named, cozy little comic book full of intimate (and silly) moments between partners. The art is very simple but wonderfully cute that anybody will be able to relate to - in romantic relationships, or in platonic friendships! This would make a great gift for someone you care about, and I look forward to what's next!

My heart is so freaking full. I love the brand-new comics and the previously-posted ones equally, and I really enjoyed the mix of single-panel scenes among the classic four-panel setups. I said in my review of her first collection that all I wanted was some scenes of the doggo, and my wish was granted!

This collection had me grinning basically the whole time I was reading it, and lamenting how very single I currently am. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not ready to mingle and generally fine with it — but as always, Catana and John are adorable, *hashtag goals*.)

I have been a big fan of Catana Comics for a few years now so I couldn’t resist getting this book. I loved the last book so I knew this one would be just as good, and it did not disappoint! I relate to almost every one of these comics. It’s like its me and my husband in all of them and I love it. These comics perfectly express how relationships are and are so relatable. How can you not love them?

I cannot recommend this book enough! If you are a fan of comics I really suggest you read this, especially if you are in a relationship.

Snug: A Collection of Comics about Dating Your Best Friend

I Picked Up This Book Because: I’ve seen random comics by this author on social media and was interested in the book.


The Story:

These little bug eyed cuties have stolen my heart.. And maybe part of my personality. These illustrations are cute, true and would make for an excellent coffee table book. I hope this author continues to illustrate her truth.

The Random Thoughts:


5 Stars

This book of comics is absolutely adorable! It contains individual comics on each page that illustrate sweet everyday moments between a couple. I read this in one short sitting and smiled from start to finish. I definitely recommend to anyone who needs a pick me up.

Catana does the most adorable couple comics. Her comics are all so wholesome and cute. This book is easy to read and digest and that lends itself to easy re-readability. This is the kind of book you can keep on the coffee table to enjoy whenever you need a pick-me-up or have a few moments before leaving the house.

Really cute and funny like the first book. I could definitely relate to the main character and sometimes could see my boyfriend and I through certain scenes.

I adore Catana comics. I'm so glad she is coming out with a second book! This collection of short comics continues the adventures of Catana and John in such a fun and relatable way.

4.5 stars.

Catana Comics always put a smile on my face. Catana Chetwynd has a wonderfully simple style that allows the little moments to be highlighted in a way that is intensely relatable. This collection really is as snug as the title would indicate, and it's made for some wonderfully light reading. Snug is the kind of comics collection that has you pestering your partner to be like "hey look, this is US."

I'd recommend Snug for anyone who is already a fan of Catana Comics, or to anyone who enjoys short slice-of-life relationship comics.

I've seen some of Catana Chetwund's work on social media for so long! I'm really happy to have the occasion to read it.
It was so fun, good, relatable and entertaining! I love her style, her little stories, it was so cute!
I would certainly recommand it to you! And I'll definitey buy her other works!

Snug by Catana Chetwynd is a super cute collection of comics. This collection is relatable, funny and very cute.

Snug is so stinking adorable! There were so many parts that reminded me of my relationship with my hubby now, as well as great reminders of how we were earlier in our relationship - which serves as great motivation to reclaim some of those old ways and habits. I love the simple art style and how very relatable each page is. I can't wait to add a hardcopy of the book when it comes out so that I can share it with my hubby. 4 out of 5 wine glasses.

This was a very cute book. I haven't had a chance to read the first book by this author but that did not take anything away from it.

Having been with my best friend for 14 years I easily relate to almost every situation the author depicts. The drawing style is very simplistic which allow for a quick and easy read, except for when you can't quite make out what they are doing in the whipping scene. However, it did give me a laugh when I finally figured out what he was doing to her.

There isn't any character development but that is usually the case with this time of book. It is more like random snap shot of life and not a novel with a developing plot line. I think it would have been nice to have some sort of very lose plot-line to make the ending more satisfying and less abrupt.

Overall, I thought t was great and I would recommend it. It was clean so you can even recommend it to your friend without coming off like a weirdo. :)

Oh how I love Catana and her comics that just ring so true and close to my heart. I don't know what else can really be said.

Well, except I was pleasantly surprised to see she has her own compilations! My faves are getting published in book format!

Loved this one. Super relatable for those short girls with tall boyfriends and people in relationship in general. Very cute and easy to read because of the comic style.

I’m a big fan of Catana’s Instagram account, and this book did not disappoint! Some of her comics are a bit too romantic for my taste (I prefer the quirky ones), but her voice and humor come across so expertly in the art and text that I can’t help but enjoy them anyway.

Catana was writing about her relationship in this comic book, but why does it feel so relatable? It gave me the biggest smile, and I'm now bugging my boyfriend to read the book so he'll feel the same.

I have been following Catana Comics across all my social media platforms for what seems like forever. I like, click, and share with almost all of my friends and family. A modern-day woman's Normal Rockwell is what I call her. Its a mix of heartwarming realness, laugh out loud goodness, and a love that shines through.

Though the themes bring the heart, its the endearing way Catana draws her beloved characters that combine it all to make magic. I am forever a fan.

I followed Catana's illustration on Instagram and they are really good. I'm glad she has a book with her cute relationship because now I can have it in my bookshelves. Everybody will fall in love with her drawings from the first page.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read it in exchange for a review.

I had come across some of Catana's comics around the internet and always found them amusing!

Snug is a collection of comics about everyday relationship situations which are entirely relatable and adorable!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, for this free review copy.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the authors previous book. A lot of it was super relatable and such a fun read.

I have been wanting to read something by this author for such a long time and I´m so happy I finally did. I adored this book! In reality there isn’t truly anything outstanding about this book, it is just a comic about love, dating you best friend and what it is like to be in a loving relationship but to me, that is perfect. For me, the best part is that it is super relatable, I could picture my boyfriend and I in all of this scenarios and I even texted some pictures to him just because of how relatable they were.

I adored this book, it is so adorable, and to think that it is based on the author and her boyfriend just makes it 10 times more cute. I love the simple art style and how even with few words it filled my heart.

I don’t have anything else to say other than READ IT, because it is truly worth the read. You will smile non-stop!

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Catana Chetwynd's comics on being in love with your best friend is nothing short of wholesome and sweet and never fails to leave me in a good mood. Life with a long-term partner in its many little moments are captured in snapshots in 'Snug'. Probably a great gift for someone you're having similar moments with.

How I read this: Free ebook copy received through NetGalley

This is incredibly cute, as Catana comics always are! There were quite a lot of new ones I hadn't seen in this collection, and I really enjoyed it. So did my boyfriend, as we were reading it together!

I thank the publisher for giving me a free copy of the ebook in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion.

Welcome Back!

I am super excited to be writing this post! It's a little outside of my usual but I am here to talk about Snug a book of Catana Comics collected. This is the second book of it's kind and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review. Something I have not really shared on my blog is that I love Catana Comics, these cute little comics are something my spouse and I have shared with one another for years now. A lot of them apply to us ( so they are super relatable) but also they are super cute and fun to share with each other. So when I got this ARC on Netgalley I was incredibly pumped and I knew exactly how I wanted to read it. Reading this book was a little different than I have ever done with any other book, I snuggled up on the couch with our kittens (though they did not stay very long, they had kitten things to do apparently), and my spouse. We looked through this together and it was a super sweet fun time!

The comics are super cute and lovey as always and were done in the usual Catana Comics style. There were a lot of comics in this particular book that we found funny or my spouse or I would point to and say yupp, or yeah you do that too. If you have not checked out a Catana Comic yet you can definitely do that online on their Facebook or other social media outlets but also you should check out their books! I am definitely going to be purchasing this second book to just have around to share again with my spouse at some point in the future. On Goodreads, I am rating this five stars.

Cute, funny, sweet, endearing. "Snug" is all those things, and certainly feels like an antidote for the turmoil and cynicism of today. However, I think it's best served in small doses. I think reading a comic a day (rather than the whole book in one sitting for a review) is the way to go.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an AC in exchange for an honest review.

On occasion, I'll see little comics from this illustrator on social media. I never think much about it other than the humor and how relatable each one can be. I didn't even realize that there could have been a collection until I came across Snug. Each page had brought something different that everyone can relate to. I have enjoyed every comic that was presented in this collection and I can easily imagine everyone else will as well.

Snug is yet another collection of the adorable comics created by the one and only Catana Chetwynd. If you haven't seen any of her work before, go ahead and google Catana Comics. Trust me, it's worth it!
Catana Chetwynd's comics have always had this sweet and endearing feeling to the comics. And that's one of the reasons that her comics have become so popular. They're cute and personal, covering the sweet and content moments.
And okay, it also shows off how silly two people can be, when they've found their person. We all get a little bit silly around our partners, thanks to not feeling the need to maintain a filter. And Catana Comics has always shown that off quite nicely.
Snug is a collection of some of these moments. They're playful, silly, and sweet. Sometimes the comics alternate between those emotions and moments. And other times they're a blend of all three. No matter what, they're a blast to read.
And fans are Catana Chetwynd will want to check this collection out, as not only does it put some of our favorites into print – it also has a bunch of new comics as well. In fact, there are fifty new comics that never made it online. And that alone makes this one worth checking out! It helps that the comics are everything I was hoping for, being a perfect fit for her series as a whole.
As always, I loved each and every one of these comics. All of them were fun or quirky. And more than one of them made me laugh and confess that I have in fact done exactly that, while in a relationship. And that's pretty cute, if I may say so. I imagine most readers feel that way.
This was another great collection from Catana Comics. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her work in the future!

I’ve been a fan of Catana Comics for quite some time now and I’m so happy to get a chance to read this!
This collection was so heartwarming and wholesome that it left me feeling warm and gushy inside.
Would recommend if you’re needing a cute little pick-me-up!

I love Catana comics! Little Moments of Love is still my favorite, but this new collection had many great scenes in it as well! This comic will appeal to YA to adults who can relate to the silly antics of a relationship. Adorable! If you follow Catana comics on Instagram, you will enjoy this collection!

This was sooo super cute!! I've always loved Catana's comics so this was really fun to read all at once!!

Cute, loved the little vignettes about the author's relationship and how relatable so many of those moments are when you're in a long term relationship.

Similar warm fuzzies to the original Catana collection. This one seemed to have fewer comics that were personally relatable to me, but maybe that was just my mood, or the ARC format being distracting. There were definitely still a few I really loved, and I recommend for any fans of Catana, or really, anyone dating or married to their best friend.

Content 'warning' is pretty much the same as the original too: there's really no actually content, but with minor cartoonish nudity, a brief reference to blood/murder, and most of the humor being in the context of adult relationships, this would likely not be appreciated by younger readers.

Thanks to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
