An honest view of a newly married couple in the form of a comic, this an easy read that will put a smile on your face.

Debbie Tung is back and this time she is talking about marriage and relationships. I loved Book Love so I couldn’t resist requesting this book through Netgalley as soon as I saw it.

These comics were like seeing my own marriage and I loved it. Every comic was relatable and adorable. I especially loved the last two comics, they made a perfect ending to seeing their relationship play out.

Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough, or any of Tung’s comics really. They are wonderful, heartfelt, and very relatable. I can’t wait to read the next comic.

Happily Every After & Everything In Between is exactly as it advertises, an endearing and subtle look at the relationship between a happily married couple. I found myself saying "aw" and "exactly!" rather than laughing out loud, but that did not detract from my full enjoyment of the comics. A must read for couples!

*ARC provided by Netgalley for an honest review.*

I just love Debbie's illustrations and how she can take simple moments in anyone's life and make comics that we can identify with. I really liked how the story follows a chronological order from the wedding, the purchase of the house and the couple's first steps. At various moments you laugh, but during all 160 pages you have a warm heart, because it is beautiful to know that there are couples like this in the world. Also, has so many beautiful illustrations!

This was so ridiculously cute and funny. Light hearted and so incredibly relatable. I was not expecting to see my husband and me in every comic. Super quick read. Fun and honest. I really enjoyed this. It would make a great gift for newlyweds and married couples. So cute!

3.5/5 Stars

This comic book was such a sweet and nice read. I really like to read book comics about small everyday moments and this was no exception. I think that the main characters were pretty relatable and funny and I would love to read more about them. Also, this book had the sweetest ending!

Very relate able and extremely funny. Made me laugh out loud!

This is my first book by this author. I adored this book! She reminds me of me and it just cracked me up because I felt like I was reading my life. She did a wonderful job and I'll be happy to read more of her work!

This was such an adorable, hilarious book. I absolutely loved it, and found myself leaning over to my husband to show him how relatable it was many times.

I have now read all of Debbie Tung's graphic novels and everyone of them is always a pleasure to read. The author incorporates her struggles with mental health/ anxiety into her stories and that element is greatly appreciated by myself (possibly a lot more people). Her husband has been featured in the previous books and now we get to see more the cute romance between the two. Hopefully I can get all three books in physical form to own.

I always love books written by Debbie Tung and this one is no exception. These comics are very relatable. The drawings are good and the moments of love are adorable. I'm looking forward to more books by her.

Glimpses into a young low-key couple's first few years of marriage. The initial awkward thrill of their new living situation that gradually becomes a comfortable familiarity. More cute than funny. Some of the bits are standard tried & true husband/wife jokes with a Millennial slant.

This was lovely and incredibly sweet - a perfect read for the current state of the world. I'm not married myself, but I thought it was an adorable look inside a marriage. There were so many relatable and funny moments! I would really recommend this if you are looking to interested in reading comics.

I love Debbie Tung! I follow her on Instagram and own both of her previous books so I was excited to get a chance to review an early copy of this one. This wasn't as relatable as her previous books for me, but still cute. I was a little confused as to whether it was trying to tell a story through the book or was just a collection of themed comics as in her past two books (Book Love and Quiet Girl in a Noisy World)

Thanks to Andrew McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for my copy to review.

I loved Book Love so much, and was really happy to see another book being published! The art is adorable, the jokes are relatable, and this little book would make a perfect gift to a significant other.

It is a such a cute story about two people in love.This is how the real life looks like ,the happily ever after and not the stupid unrealistic future movies show the audience.The illustrations are so cute and relatable.This book put a huge smile on my face .Highly recommended.

Debbie Tung creates beautifully relatable and adorable comics. I feel her books provide a safe space for introverts to feel that their behaviours are normal. This book focuses on her life after marriage to her husband and how they show their love and do their day-to-day activities. I loved this, despite being extremely single.

Dearest friends, this was just the sweetest read and a great way to kick off the month of April. I absolutely loved this comic and in some ways, remind me very much of my own marriage with my partner. It’s funny, charming, and just the little things about married life. It also reminds you to take a moment to appreciate everything you have in these challenging times. The perfect read if you need that quick pick me up!

Our story follows two characters who are newly weds. This book shows their every day life and their interactions with one another. They share funny moments, the chaoticness that can come with being married, and even moments of awe. We even have moments where they spend time with their friends and it shows how things can change once you get married. The moving scenes are absolute hilarious perfection!

I really loved this book and I loved all the moments the couple shared. I think many newly weds and even married couples will be able to relate to this graphic novel very easily. The characters are easy to see oneself in and even if you’re not married, I think someone could related to the things happening in this graphic novel. The ending is probably the sweetest part though! It ends on such a feel good note and I would be lying if I didn’t say I ‘awe’d’ a few times before finally turning the page.

Overall, I think it’s easy to tell that I enjoyed this graphic novel and found that it brought a lot of sappy feelings into my heart. I think now is the perfect time to pick up all those feel good books and this is one you don’t want to miss out on. It’s super endearing, really precious, and just the book many readers need in their life right now! I highly recommend giving it a try and letting the wholesome goodness of this book make you a little warmer!

I'm a huge fan of Debbie Tung but this third graphic novel collection was still charming but lacked the perspective I'm accustomed to with her work.

I love Debbie Tung's work and this new book does not disappoint. Debbie has a way of taking the ordinary situations in marriage and making you smile and reminisce. Her story telling is so relatable and her drawings will make you laugh because they ring so true.

Happily Ever After and Everything in Between Debbie Tung

What an adorable graphic novel! I loved the way she drew, very realistic but still the comic style I like. Nothing overly abstract where I tilt my head and say “What the f*&k is that supposed to be?”

The storyline is simple, Tung invites us into her home, her life, and her heart from the moment she marries her husband. And it is a privilege to witness what they share.
This is the life I have always dreamt of when I think about what marriage is supposed to be. Not perfect, not always pretty, but always shared with someone who understands you. Someone who doesn’t question what the largest part of the monthly budget is set aside for books. LOL!

This novel and others like it proves we are all the same. Straight, Gay, Lesbian, we are all looking for that match, that other half to call home. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I hope Debbie Tung makes a sequel. I’m sure parenthood will be just as hilarious as those ‘Honeymoon years”.
Highly recommended!

I received this comic free from Netgalley for my honest, unbiased review.

Omg, can you say adorable?
This comic is so incredibly relatable. Or, if you're like me and are still painfully single, it's relatable to the desired image of a relationship in your head.
I found myself smiling and even laughing at some of the pages. The author, Debbie Tung, is incredibly talented in her ability to creatively portray a young married couple. It was silly at times, but sweet as well. It made me want to look up her other comic strips.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews Mandel Publishing for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for my honest opinion. The publish date is June 02, 2020.

I literally just finished this book and am so pleasantly surprised! I usually enjoy graphic novels/ cartoons but in this case I was able to relate to almost every single page in this hilarious amalgamation. It completely exceeded my expectations going in!

“Happily Ever After & Everything In Between” isn’t one flowy, long story, but a collection of short discussions, activities, disagreements, and everyday situations that occur in relationships. I am not married, but have been with my significant other for 5 years and I found myself nodding in agreement or laughing out loud the entire time. SO much of what author, Debbie Tung, writes about is “us”, as I’m sure a good amount of readers will see themselves in it as well.

This graphic novel discusses everything from grocery shopping together and forgetting the one item that you went there to get ; binge-watching shows on the couch so frequently, that when they’re over you don’t know what to do with yourselves— to having a refrigerator full of groceries and instead ordering take-out , and waking up to a significant other that is anything but a morning person! These incidents come with spending —what feels like— a lifetime together. Being a couple is not all peachy, you will find quirks that you didn’t even know existed until HIM or HER.

Has your significant other ever fallen asleep, snoring ridiculously loud while you’re trying to watch TV, or have you ever been in bed and the other person stole all of the covers or flicked the light on because they can’t sleep? How about arguing over the thermostat temperature? If so, you will love reading this!

5 incredible stars. I will pick up EVERYTHING that this author has written and will write in the future.

Snapshot of moments of a young affectionate couple's day-to-day married life in comic form. So sweet and adorable. I found myself smiling at many of the pages. Certainly relatable. Not so much a laugh-out-loud type of graphic story but still tender and humorous.

We all married couples can learn a thing or two from Debbie and Jason. Love how he treats her with so much love, care and affection..

Definitely give this book as a wedding or anniversary gift for a young couple.

The drawings are simple but expressive. I'm looking forward to reading about the next phase of their life!

Thank you, Netgalley and Andrew McMeel Publishing for this ARC. This is my honest review.

Loved the book. The illustrations and the whole story work is amazing! Would love to read more of such books.

That is so damn relatable!!! Except of course without the guy in it 😋 But it's so damn relatable because I want someone like that too if at all I want someone to invade my private space.
I am so happy I have access to this collection as I had no idea that this one is coming out in July this year!
Thank you #NetGalley so much for the copy of #HappilyEverAfterandEverythingInBetween

As for the artstyle, it's the basic usual Debbie Tung artstyle which I am so used to by now and actually see it as something important in my life by now. I follow her at Instagram and Pinterest for updates. I will always follow her and support her work because I can relate with everything she says or draws. Yes, one rare artist I can relate 100 percent with.

And that's why I believe I won't be fine with anyone other than someone similar in the book to be with in real. Because that's the perfect guy. If my partner feels like it's the husband's thing to buy books for his wife like it's one of the most important things in our married life... Wait. Does such a husband exist? It must. Because this book says so. And yes, everything, I say, everything in this book is everything I ever wanted. This couple is perfect.
*I don't want to say much but her husband understands her as much as others want to judge her for being herself.
*People will say they are weird together but I say they are perfect for each other.
*Please don't misunderstand that we all will relate to her comics and thoughts. To some it may seem like they cannot relate at all and it's all made up. The author is not trying to show that being an introvert and just being herself is not asking you to be like her or anything. Her previous collections has all her thoughts on such issues cleared up. I would highly recommend those too.

*No matter what all that matters in the end is having someone you know who is going to be with you no matter what happens.

I absolutely adored this collection of comics! I thoroughly enjoyed how real Debbie Tung's portrayal was of a happy and well adjusted couple. Nearly every page reminded me of my partner and I, and it made me so happy to be able to share it with him.

Thank you so much to Netgalley for the early access to this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and to Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending me an e-galley of this comic collection in exchange for an honest review!

Happily Ever After & Everything in Between is an adorable collection of comics following a newlywed couple going through the first months/years of their marriage. The adorable and sometimes quirky artwork is as cute as the situations the couple find themselves in encompassing the normal tasks like buying a home and moving in to things that even unmarried couples would appreciate like trying to figure out what to eat for dinner and picking out a movie.

It's just a feel good collection of stories sure to put a smile on your face.

Such a cute and heartwarming comic that captures the everyday moments and magic of everyday love. Debbie Tung has done it again!

Sometimes I just need a break from a normal chapter book, especially when I’m in a reading slump, and when that happens I turn to graphic novels. The art in this book is simplistic in black and white with little detail in the background (most of the time) which I like because it focuses the reader to the words and the two people that this is really about. The book provided snapshots of a newly married couple’s life through humor and realistic situations. I am not married, nor ever have been, so in a lot of ways I can’t relate to this book completely. I still greatly enjoyed this read and think anyone in a relationship, whether it’s romantic or family relationships, can appreciate how real the author is about the simplistic joys found from another, the annoying habits we all have, the inevitable fights, and the importance of unconditional love from those in your life.

I finished this book in one sitting, maybe too quick a read, and immediately ordered her other book “Book Love” to help me get through my next reading slump. Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for my honest opinion. The publish date for this book is June 2, 2020.

Happily Ever After is such a sweet series of comics.  Readers will adore spending time with this couple as they live together and negotiate their relationship. Many of the strips offer a glimpse of the universals in relationships and many made me smile. This couple could serve as a model for all of us as we try to live well together while confined.   Definitely worth a look.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Another great book Debbie! Her books do well in our store and I look forward to adding this to the shelf. I can always relate to her drawings and like the others, this one was no exception. I have known for a bit that this was coming out and I made sure to mention to my librarian friend that it was on Netgalley

I"m in love with this author's books. I have read the other two and I was so excited when I saw this. Her comics are so relatable and funny. I always have to screenshot some of them and share them with friends on how I love them. I love this one and I will give it 5 stars. There are so many cute and funny moments. I just can't stop reading her books. Thank you to netgallery for this amazing read. I recommend everyone to read this one and her other books.

First of all, let me say that Happily Ever After is VERY cute. If you're in a long-term relationship, I'm certain there will be at least a few comics in this collection that will make you smile, maybe even go "awwww!" That said, having read two other of Debbie Tung's books, I was really disappointed overall in this book. The other two were so humorous and cute and fun, that I was surprised by how much of this was just sort of "slice of life"-feeling with a little sweetness — no real humor or fun shining through like I expected to find. If this was your first introduction to Tung's work, I totally recommend checking out one of her earlier books, as I think they were much more lovable! I'll definitely pick up her next release and I don't regret reading this one, it just wasn't what I hoped it would be.

A delightful series of comics that captures the humor and fun of early married life. Most couples will identify and while maybe not trailblazing definitely funny and full of heart.

Debbie Tung’s third delightful & insightful book! The best gift books ever: this one is for newlyweds or married couples still saying “I love you!” Her 2nd book, Book Love, is the perfect gift for your friend who loves books but seems to have already read everything... And her first book, Quiet Girl, is the present for the friend you love but can never get to go anywhere there might be other people. All of Debbie’s work says, & shows you why, “Wow, humans are so quirky & loveable...”

Debbie Tung is laugh aloud, tear up a bit, smile to yourself reading: buy, stock, handsell, gift, recommend, reorder any & all Debbie Tung titles & make people happy. It’s really that easy.

Debbie Tung's books are cute and quiet, and this one in particular is an adorable love letter to her new husband. Perfect for a pleasant read on a rainy day.

**HEARTWARMING**

Debbie Tung comes up with this very relatable and beautifully illustrated comics about what is it like to live close to your better half. Oh my! I can’t wait to read all her other books! So glad to have read the ARC from Netgalley!

#HappilyEverAfterEverythingInBetween #NetGalley

Touching and relatable without being too mushy. The author has an acute eye for observation and notices the little things that are the glue in a long-term relationship. A lovely book.

I absolutely <em>love</em> Debbie Tung and her work. Author of what accounts to some of the most relatable graphic novels and comics that I have ever read, she now returns with a wonderfully gripping and amusing book featuring the things we experience within our relationships. Using her own marriage as inspiration, Tung delights readers with a plethora of fantastic and hilarious tidbits from her own relationship. I loved every moment of reading this book and couldn't help comparing Tung's artwork to my own relationship.

Tung's style never ceases to blow me away. She continues to impress me with the adorable nature of both her art and her storytelling. In fact, certain stories were so relatable in such a real way that even my boyfriend, who has never cared much for what I read, had a few good giggles when I showed him. <em>Happily Ever After & Everything in Between </em>is very much one of my most appreciated slice of life graphic novels.

I can say this much for this novel and Tung's previous <em>Book Love</em> that I've read before: they're both utterly amazing. I can't wait to see what she comes out with net.

<em>I was provided a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.</em>

This was a cute quick read that felt very realistic. Even though the illustrations were simple, I was surprisingly touched by some of the messages they conveyed. This would make a great present for a partner or someone in a long-term relationship, and I can’t wait to read the author’s eventual book about parenting.

A slice of married life collection of comics, this collection shows everyday scenes of this couple. My first read of Debbie Tung's work, this was a light, fun, sugary sweet collection. The collection felt like a heartfelt love letter to her husband. I liked the art style, especially the scenes set at night. While the cartoons were relatable they were not very insightful or interesting which made this collection a bit forgettable for me.

Alternating between sweet and funny, this collection of comics shows the positives of a relationship. An uplifting books for troubled times. My only hiccup was the shading of grays sometimes made the writing hard to read; however, that could have been due to the computer I was reading it on and the paper copy will not have that issue.

Debbie Tung is slowly becoming one of my favorite illustrators ever! I always feel so warm and cozy when I read her comics and I'm so grateful that I sometimes snag early copies of her books!

Happily Ever After is the next one in her slice-of-life comic books that depict everyday moments in her marriage. It's cute as fuck and it makes me want to go find the biggest stuffed toy in the world and cuddle with it. It was very reminiscent of Snug, for me, but they're also really different at the same time and idk if it even makes any sense but that's just how it is.

Also, can I just say that her art style is super adorkable?! I love the inky style so so so much! As always, what a pleasure to read her book!

Huge thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy! I LOVE YOU, NETGALLEY!

After drawings introversion in Quiet Girl in a Noisy World and about book lovers in Book Love, in Happily Ever After & Everything in Between, Debbie Tung is illustrating her married life. As in her previous books, I related a lot to the author and her love life with her husband, even if I’m not married. It does echo to some of the drawings present in Quiet Girl since her introversion is present in her relationship.

Overall, as with all Debbie Tung’s books, I really enjoyed the illustrations and the scenes. I will keep reading her comics.

Debbie Tung has done it again. Her comics are so relatable and authentic and just cute as a button. Highly recommend it!

Such a cute read! This is the second book I read for Debbie Tung, the first was Quiet Girl in a Noisy World. I have to say I enjoyed the first one a bit more but this was VERY adorable, especially the ending!

<i>Happily Ever After & Everything In Between</i> would make the perfect anniversary gift for most couples that include a reader or two. I've read both of Debbie Tung's previous two books, and while I enjoyed both of them, this title speaks to me on a more intimate level. Most of the comics reflect similar experiences I've had with my own adorable husband (some of them almost act for act or word for word!), and I found myself smiling so much while reading. I had to share some of the comics with him, and I believe this is another book I want to own for my own library. Tung is one of those authors that we need right now during these tumultuous times, if nothing else than to help us escape our current reality.

Definitely recommended.
