Happily Ever After & Everything In Between

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!

Happily Ever After & Everything in Between was the relatable, lighthearted comic I needed!

With super adorable illustrations and, "oh my gosh, SAME!" scenarios it's easy to breeze through this comic! I found myself laughing, smiling, and nodding along multiple times!

I am a big fan of relationship comics because of their hilarious relatability and Debbie's work did not disappoint!

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!

Loved it thank you at netgally

This books shows you how married life is the good and the bad

The GN was written beautiful and the art was okay

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.

5 Stars
(I received an e-arc for this book from Net Galley in exchange for a review)

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.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
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.

***Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a free digital copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

'Happily Ever After & Everything In Between' is such an adorable comic about life after marriage. I swear, this made me just adore the concept of marrying your best friend and one true love. Sure, couples will go through troubles but Debbie Tung makes marriage seem like a beautiful thing. I quite enjoyed reading this and even laughed loudly about some of the things the characters say or think. Definitely would recommend to couples or even single people.

** Received ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

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.

Not the most original of content, I felt like all of the jokes were ones I've seen in other similar comics oftentimes more humorously and the art wasn't super expressive. That being said, I did find the book a charming tribute to newlywed life and simple moments of love. In regard to the art, I loooved the full page spreads. I found those single full pages to be the most impactful parts of the book and would love just a book of those. Overall, mildly entertaining, sweet, light-hearted read.

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.

*ARC provided by Netgalley for an honest review.*

This book was everything to me! I connected with the story of the couple so much. It’s such a lighthearted and fun read about love and what a relationship looks like after the “honeymoon” phase.

Debby Tungs books are sweet wonderful put a smile on your face read.A charming look at the first year of marriage happily in loveEach new moment in their lives from cooking dinner to traveling to buying their first home.A terrific happy making story#netgalley#andrewsmcmeel

Another adorable and relatable comic book by Debbie Tung.
In Happily Ever After & Everything In Between the author illustrates what happens when you marry your best friend. From the most common things a couple faces daily to the sweetest. Always with Debbie Tung's loveable and original touch.

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely loved this! I identify so much with the main character, it's like she is taking the thoughts right out of my head in terms of being an introvert. If you liked Quiet Girl in a Noisy World then you will like this. It is the same couple in their introverted wonderfulness. It is a quick read that is about the newlyweds and how they live in the world. Highly recommend!

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.

I felt like something new today. I felt like reading a comic. I was thinking about horror, but I chose a cheesy one this time. A lovey-dovey comic about relationships.

Debbie Tung's "Happily Ever After" is a love letter to her husband Jason and a chronicle of their relationship as newlyweds. The comic is truly endearing and explodes with cuteness. Almost every page reminded me of Danna so I called her and we talked for a while.

PS: Danna says I don't snore.

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.

This book was so sweet. I’m not married or in a relationship, but this book makes me really excited to be. I think it really captures the little moments that are so important and in my opinion, those little things can really make or break a relationship. It doesn’t have all these bug romantic gestures because sometimes love is just eating McDonald’s together at home rather than going out to a fancy restaurant.

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.

Just like her previous works, this book is ADORBS!!!
I love the way she illustrates; not too comic-ly with a dash of whimsy.
Although I prefer her first two books, this book was short and sweet. I also love the fact that each book gave us a glimpse of the author's life.

Thank you to Netgalley for the eArc in exchange for an honest review.

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.

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This charming book is a series of cartoons that tell the story of the authors first six years of marriage. In the beginning, we see a young couple adjusting to the idea of being married, and follow the progression of their relationship as they navigate the milestones of couplehood. I won’t spoil the ending, but I will say it was the perfect way to draw the book to a close. I look forward to future books in this series (hint, hint).

I moved this book up in my TBR pile because I was looking for a laugh out loud book. This book was not that book, but that does not mean I did not enjoy it tremendously. Rather than the belly laughs I was expecting, I experienced more sweet nostalgia for my own newlywed days. There are many, many recognizable scenes throughout the book, and Ms. Tung did an excellent job capturing them with her drawings.

I regularly follow Debbie Tung's work. This is her second book. I liked book; "book love " very much and still re-read it sometimes.
Her best quality is cleanness of her art which is easy on eyes and mind.
She touches soft spots of husband and wife's relationship. It is funny and highly prone to produce soft giggles from reader. It is cute if we try to define work in one word.
It is easy to read and hard to stop once you have started reading it.
Read it and her other works too. She has written three graphic novels.
Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

this was a cute book and I love the charters in the book and I can Waite till she wrights more and I love the pictures too and I love everything about this book. and I gave it 5 stars. and ill read more.

An adorably humorous graphic novel that my husband and I read together and really connected with!

Debbie Tung captured what its like to be married to your best friend so perfectly. While there wasn't a solid narrative to these comics, there was definitely an overarching progression of time and life experiences.

While we loved these comics, I think this book is for a very niche audience; new adult couples in long-standing relationships. Hoping anyone who picks this up enjoys it just as much!

I was happy to review this after reading Debbie Tung’s other collection, Quiet Girl in a Nosiy World. This one was just as sweet And funny as the last one. This one shares Debbie’s adventures with her husband. The artwork is gorgeous and the dialogue is smooth. Would highly, highly recommend!

I received this as an eARC to read for free in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for giving me access.

Happily Ever After & Everything in Between was a hilarious portrayal of daily married life. I related so much to the characters and had some laugh out loud moments, because let's face it, this is the embodiment of marriage.

This graphic novel was relatable, lovable, and just downright cute. I recommend all married couples to read this, if anything to reminisce your early years together.

It was cute and funny! It was a perfect read and I enjoyed reading the book. The illustrations were good and the comic was also highly relatable!

This graphic novel was so cute! But maybe a little *too* cute? There was no plot at all, which is fine. I don't know much about the artist/creator, but it seemed like a compilation of adorably-drawn web comics as vignettes of a relationship, and not quite a "novel." Still recommend for a heaping dose of cuteness!

This is such a wholesome book about the life of a couple of newly weds. I'm so happy that I came across it; so lovely and pure! If you like Catana Comics, you should read this one! Rating: 5/5 stars.

Short and sweet slice-of-life comic collection that focuses on Debbie Tung's relationship with her husband in their first six years of marriage. As someone in a long-term relationship I found most of these comics relatable but nothing really struck me as extra humorous or insightful or anything - what she's trying to say has been said before, and she didn't add anything that unique to the whole "young couple living together and in love" thing despite this being her own life story.

A sweet and sincere collection of comics based on the author's own experiences of married life with her husband, with a lovely art style and charming moments throughout.

"Him: I found that new book you wanted! I'll get it for you.
Her: Oh, you don't have to do that.
Him: Nonsense! I'll place an order.
Her: You know, you don't have to feel obliged to get me books.
Him: What's the point of having a husband if he doesn't buy you books?
Her: *hugs*"

I can always count on Andrews McMeel to publish best works when it comes to comics and poetry! I have read a couple more books just like this and this one had the cutest illustrations ever! I haven't seen more perfect comics: this had the most beautiful and heartwarming comics depicting the tiny moments in the marriage to the huge moments of it in the most heart-touching way possible! Funny and adorable, this makes it this most perfect reads to engaged and married people! Or you can always read this for fun as I did or with your loved one!

I loved and I enjoyed this! The only reason I am giving this one 4 stars is that I have read similar moments. But this one is worth all the stars it can get!

A very sweet look into the author's newlywed life. I'm more partial to the author's first two books that focused on introversion and book love... but I will read anything Debbie Tung publishes! She's fun and relatable. I've been hoping another book would come out, so I was SO happy to see this was coming out. It was a nice, cozy break during a too-busy day and stressful month.

I follow Debbie Tung on Instagram so I´ve already seen some parts of this book and I wanted to read it all because I liked comics stips like these. I´ve really enjoyed this book. It reminded me of Soppy by Philippa Rice, which I loved too.

It´s super funny, I laughed many times, and sweet. It´s all about those moments that couples share but I think that you can find yourselves in there even when you are not in a relationship. Overall, it´s about everyday moments and you can relate to it very easily. I found myself there many times. Yeah, I am guilty of many things the author mentions.

It´s a perfect book when you want to feel good on a rainy evening. It´s sweet and the ending is the sweetest.

Aaaaaaw I love these comics by Debbie Tung! They remind me so much of me and my fiance, and they are so sweet and wholesome!

Thank you @netgalley for the opportunity to read this quick little book. I laughed, so hard. After nearly ten years of marriage so much of it rang true. It took all of those little situations couples find themselves in and illustrated them. To say it was relatable was an understatement. If you are married and need a laugh, check it out.

Yesterday I was browsing throughout NetGalley for some light readings and found 'Happily Ever After & Everything in Between' by Debbie Tung. As soon as I put my eyes on the cover, something attracted me to it, and I decided to give it a go. This book was the first graphic novel I have ever read, but before giving it a review, I also cast an eye over 'Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story' by the same author, so I can give this book a proper review and to have some background.
The novel is structured around the key points of the author's life (the wedding with her love, the purchase of their new house, and the steps that they are making together) while combining the simple moments in our everyday lives with whom we can relate. Something that I liked about this book is the simplicity of it. It doesn't deal with stressful and exhausting topics which makes it the ideal light read for a pleasant evening. It is funny, and it makes you laugh your ass out while reading, but at the same time, it is romantic, and it shows you the ideal relationship. The one which isn't perfect, but the place where you know there is somebody that cares and to whom you can always go if you have problems. The place where you feel safe and understood.
Just like I pointed out earlier, the book is quite simple, so therefore the style of the illustrations is the same. The art used is not expressive, but I don't mind it. I think it works better with the style of writing. Even if there are not many words used, the drawings are telling a lot more than words ever could.
There is no need to say that I fell in love with it! The ending was pleasing, and I can't wait for a sequel to be released. I am going to add Debbie Tung to my list of favourite authors, and in the next few days, I am going to read the other books she realised.
Overall, it was the book I needed to fulfil a perfect afternoon, and if you are looking for a deep, yet light read, this is the right book for you! I recommend it for further reading.
I would love to thank NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this opportunity.

I love the work of Debbie Tung. She is sooo talented and I felt identified with many of the situations described in this books. Perfect companion to Book Love (her previous book). Although I read it from a digital version, I will get the physical copy as this one is going to be part of my coffee table collection.

Thank you Netgally and the author for the gifted copy. All thoughts are completely my own.

As a person who was married in my early 20s I thought this book was spot on. It's hilarious! I laughed so much. It's extremely relatable.

I think if you are in a longterm relationship this would resonate with you. I highly recommend it. It's a very quick read.

"What's the point of having a husband if he doesn't buy you books?"

A cute yet relatable book about married life and its everyday moments! The title is very apt as romance, as shown in this book, does not end with marriage. In fact, it's the little things that count, and which we find joy and comfort in. It also reminds you to be grateful for your partner and what the two of you share. The simple and clean art suited the book and its content. All in all, a sweet and delightful read.

I absolutely adored this book! It was very cute and funny, and sometimes very relatable too. The artwork is amazing! I really enjoyed reading it.

This book was so cute! I loved it. It reminded me of the cute "Love is" cartoons. While reading this book there were so many pages that reminded me of my husband and I. I couldn't help but relate and share them with him. This book is heart warming and will leave you feeling blissfully happy.

I read this in one night and I've never seen any of the authour's comics before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I found that most of the comics were very relatable. However, this comic is about the couple's life together since they got married and it's different than the other comics I've read with similar topics because they document even the simplest and boring moments. There were tiny bits of humour scattered throughout the book but it just felt like a monotonous read because even the totally mundane aspects of their relationship were made into comics, which I guess was the point. One thing that kept confusing me was the format of the comics. I read this on my kobo which only shows one page at a time so I thought each page was a separate comic but then I would go to the next page and there'd be a continuation. Also the author says that the comic is about an introvert married to an extrovert but you barely see any evidence of his 'extrovertedness'. There are plenty of instances where we see the author and wife as an introvert but her husband also seems like an introvert as well. Overall this was a fun and cute read but it was just a tad bit boring as well.

Great little book! I love how Debbie Tung creates a narrative through short scenes. The scenes were very relatable and brought a smile to my face. Great illustrations!

I ENJOYED EVERY SINGLE PAGE OF THIS BOOK.

This never happens to me! And listen, I am not married, nor in a relationship, nor anywhere close to it but this book makes me want to be. This is just the most wholesome, positive experience of reading about a couple I have ever had and I am pretty sure I 'aww'ed aloud multiple times. Absolute Relationship Goals. I especially enjoyed that there were no traces of any stereotypical gender-role related incidents that make me instantly squirm, nor was there the constant presentation of a relationship that is all roses and chocolates. THERE ARE FART JOKES. And I have never laughed so hard in my life.

This comic collection is an absolute gem for literally anyone. I cannot think of a single person I would not recommend this to and hope that lots and lots of people will get the joy of living with these characters for a little while.

I had the very best time reading this so I cannot give it anything BUT 5 stars. For making me laugh, making me relate and for making me believe that a thing such as true love does exist.

I love both of Debbie Tung’s other books and was really excited to see one about relationships. This book is adorable. I found it to be relatable and a quick little read. It would make a great gift for a loved one.

I just love Debbie Tung's books. This one is no exception. It is adorable with cute art and sweet glimpses into Debbie's married life. If you have enjoyed Debbie Tung's previous books, I think you will love this one too.

An adorable comic that I could find myself relating to within my relationship. The characters are expressive, notions pure, and circumstances realistic, endearing, and honest. I will definitely be considering purchasing this as a wedding or anniversary gift for my friends! #HappilyEverAfterEverythingInBetween #NetGalley

As soon as I saw Debbie Tung had a new collection coming out I had to get my hands on it. I've read her two previous books and loved them and this one was no different. This one deals with married life and how she and her husband interact with each other as well as the outside world. It is super relatable and perfectly illustrates how relationships can be when you've found your person.

Debbie Tung is great at portraying what it's like to live with anxiety and being an introvert - and how it is to have someone in your life who gets you. Her signature art style is great for her slice of life comics. This one is definitely a great addition to her collection of books.

Debbie Tung never disappoints. This graphic novel was cute and relatable. I read it with my husband, and we enjoyed a lot of good laughs over the humor of every day life of newly married couples. Highly recommend for a short, sweet series of vignettes about married life.

This lovely graphic novel totally exceeded my expectations. I needed something that I could mentally dip in and out of, focus on easily during a weird and distracted time of quarantine, and this hit every point on that list! As a married person, it was relatable without being trite, heartfelt without being saccharine. This is definitely an author I’ll keep on my radar!

Happily Every After & Everything in Between is the 2nd book that I've read by Debbie Tung. I had previously read her earlier book Book Love. Like Book Love, Happily Ever After... is a collection of short comics about the author's life. In this book she focuses on her life as a newlywed.

The comics are cute and sweet and since they are short 1 page comics, it is easy to pick this book up as you have small spare moments of time. Or you can read it all the way through in less than an hour. If you're in a relationship, you will see lots of things to relate to in here.

It's just amazing! The beggining and the day-by-day of a couple in a funny way, with a beuatiful ilustrations and situations very common and full of love, partnership and affection. I loved! I felt my heart warmer after read it

File next to Philippa Rice books – at least they're with the same publishers. This is a warm selection of cartoon vignettes – sometimes just one image, sometimes stretching to a third page, that convey young married love – snuggling in bed or under the duvet on the sofa, learning to love someone's snore, and thinking planning the day to be fully productive is ever a good idea. I've seen this kind of book be horrendously awful – smug, not engaging and full of absolutely no realism at all (ooh, hello, Catana Chetwynd – didn't see you there). This is none of those things, although it does of course make liberal use of rose-tinted glasses. It does end with the same reason I think I'm done with Ms Rice, unfortunately – but with her three quite different topics so far (books, and social insecurity and self-exclusion before this) it may be Mrs Tung is my favourite.

I finished it within 1 hour. The graphics and illustrations were great. The moments relatable and quirky. I loved that the author showed new situations instead of showing ones that are already out there. It was 162 pages of pure fun and nostalgia. If you are bored and want something light and cheery then take this one without hesitation.

A very cute look at the beginning of a marriage in comics. While some are more relatable than others, the experiences cover many aspects and I think all couples will find some part that reminds them of their own relationship. This would make a cute gift for new couples as well.

I thought that this was really sweet, and it certainly had some very cute relatable moments I could take on board and see in my own relationship. With that being said, it felt as though this was more of a diary entry series rather than one that could be read with some humor. It was very much focused on just snippets of life, which is very sweet and comforting, but it could have benefited from just a little bit more of a humorous touch! The reviews seem to suggest that this is a fairly common feeling and that the author’s first books pick up on that a little more, so I’ll do my best to get my hands on them.

After falling in love with Tung's Book Love, I was excited to get my hands on Happily Ever After & Everything in Between. This was an adorable graphic novel about the day-to-day lifestyle of a young married couple. With highlights of the good, the bad and everything in between, Tung's beautiful drawings and style show an introvert's perspective of the first years of marriage that had me reminiscing over the beginnings of my relationship. There were sweet, silly and some laugh-out-loud moments captured showcasing the many relatable universals in relationships. It was a quick, enjoyable read that would make for a great wedding or first anniversary gift. Thank you to Netgalley for this adorable read.

Tung's collection of comics on married life capture the experience of the first years of marriage. She skillfully illustrates the small moments that fill a life built together, from the sweet to the funny to the sometimes annoying. This collection with connect with all those couples who are recently married or have been living together, so many of the comics are on point and relatable.

I had previously read and enjoyed 'Book Love' and 'Quiet Girl in a Noisy World' by the same author. I didn't enjoy these relationship centred comics as much but they were still pretty fun. I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys cutesy romantic comics.

Sweet. Relatable. Simplistic.

This was such a cute collection of comics. The art style and accompanying story was very reminiscent of the artist Cassandra Calin, so if you enjoy her work I would absolutely recommend this book to you. The story was wholesome and funny, and I cracked many smiles while reading.

I read this in a single sitting, and really enjoyed that experience. I really loved the art and the black and white theme, and how much I could relate to some of the panels. I do think that this collection is very simplistic, and doesn't have much else to offer besides an hour or so of cozy reading. This isn't the type of book you'd pick up if you enjoy stories with plot or substance or character development, but if you're in the mood to smile and have a few minutes to spare, this would be a great choice.

In the end, a lovely little collection that wasn't anything ground breaking or that brought anything unique or new to the world of comics, but it was still incredibly enjoyable and funny. In the end, I'd probably give this a rating of 3.5 stars, but I can easily see that being rounded up to a four for people who prefer this type of content more than I tend to.

Thanks again to NetGalley for giving me a review copy of this book!

relationship humor - comics/graphics
This is a cute collection of short comics about newly married life. This book feels familiar, like maybe I have read it before, but I think it just speaks to the experiences of anyone who has been in a close relationship.

This book is super cute, and also super relatable haha. I really love the simplistic art style and for sure need to read the author's previous books. But there wasn't much else to the book, it was all just a page of relatable moments in a couple's life and there wasn't a plot or over-arching plotline to it.

I've enjoyed Debbie Tung's works online for awhile, and I loved reading Book Love when it came out, so I'm genuinely excited to have had the chance to read and review Happily Ever After & Everything In Between.

The art fits within Tung's characteristic style, which is inviting, cue, and easy to follow. Her relationship stories were enjoyable, often funny or heartwarming, and very relatable. While I tend to enjoy her bookish or introvert stories the best, her relationship stories were very inviting and impossible to not enjoy. The ending of the book was so cute and sweet, and it put the biggest smile on my face.

I would definitely recommend this to any fans of Debbie Tung's previous works, or fans of relationship comics.

Such a sweet, funny comfort read! Debbie Tung's latest describes the early years of marriage with love and laughter.

This graphic novel shows a real look into the first few years of marriage, where everything is awesome. The tone of the book was just that, light and humorous. You can get a sense of the emotional through the drawings, which are in black and white. The simplistic ways give an added sense of airiness, but you find yourself involved with what happens with the two characters as time goes on. It was great to see certain scenarios that I could relate to in my own marriage, how just being around the person you love makes you feel complete. This was a great read!

I really enjoy this style of comic book, I love the little snippets of life. This book is relateable, cute and wholesome fun. Adorable.

I'd be very interested to see a follow up book featuring parenthood, in-laws, etc.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for giving me an ARC of this book.

It was a really good read.You would laugh and cry at times .Eventually it would give you a great time.


I just loved the guy in the story

Really enjoy every page of this. I can't relate so much. The illustrations are simple and not distracting. The content is funny, sometimes can be cheesy, but this book is kind of book that can make "awww, that's sweet"

I’ve recently read Debbie Tung’s Book Love graphic novel and I loved it so much! I finished it within an hour or two, so I knew I had to read her new one. Happily Ever After & Everything In Between is ridiculously relatable and lovable! The illustrations go so well with the words on the pages; everything is portrayed perfectly. I fell in love with it so much I’m going to purchase a hard copy… I just NEED to have it, you know? Anyway, it’s an adorable and heart-warming read. Of course, I’m rating it 5/5!

I’d recommend this read to anyone who needs a light read, for any reason at all. It’s such a great read and doesn’t overwhelm you with emotions, it hits just right.

It is a very cute and funny comic book. I recommend it if you like Sarah Andersen or Catana Chetwynd works.
This book show a cute, introvert, oridanary cuople and they life. I smiled a lot while I reading.

Another great book by Debbie Tung! I truly enjoy her illustrations and love that all of the situations are so relatable. The stories of her relationship with her husband are both true to life and adorable. A quick, light read that will make you laugh and leave you satisfied. I found it highly enjoyable.

Happily Ever After &amp; Everything in between is about a married couple and their daily lives after marriage. This book is inspired by author Debbie Tung's personal marriage.
This book was fun to read and being a graphic novel very fast read. I absolutely loved and adored the married couple in the book. They were themselves and in love. I absolutely loved the art style of this book.
The reason why this book is not quite 5 stars is that I just didn’t understand the purpose of this book. I just don’t know what it was trying to do. Also, the incidents in this book were not connected. They were all different so it took me 50-60 pages (ebook format).
In the end I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to readers who want something quick and easy to read.

This one is a cute and adorable read. The art style is simple, yet effective when it comes to convey all the daily, routinely situations of two newly-weds. I'm not married, however, I've been in a relationship with my partner for five years now and I can tell you: all the scenes in this book will be familiar and relatable to anyone with a long-term relationship. Bonus points if one of you is a reader and book lover and the other one a gamer. I just felt it was myself on these pages, me and my partner throughout almost every picture, so I showed my boyfriend a lot of the images, since its like having someone drawing our couple routine.

This book was totally adorable. Debbie and her husband are so sweet together. I am feeling very jealous. They share with us the funny and also the awkward moments. The artwork is simple but enjoyable. The author needs only few frames to tell a big and meaningful story.
Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a copy of this book.

I've loved Debbie Tung ever since I read Book Love. So when I got the opportunity to review "Happily Ever After & Everything In Between," I jumped on the chance. While I didn't like this one QUITE as much as "Book Love", simply because I didn't relate to the subject matter quite as much, all of the things that make me love Debbie Tung's work fill this book. Her ability to find humor in everyday subjects combined with her emotive drawings make her books a joy to read. Honestly, I think I would read anything Debbie Tung and completely recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader’s copy of this collection of comics in exchange for an honest review .

This collection was heartfelt , realistic and just fun to read . I actually laughed out loud a few times while reading it.

Definitely would recommend for comic book lovers !


4.5 stars ⭐️

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchanged for a honest review!

Wow, how I laughed and how my eyes teared up for this beautiful graphic novel. I would recommend everyone that is in a relationship to devour this, I sure am going to buy my own copy of it. The small and so cute sketches in this one just makes me laugh and run to my partner and make him read it and then say "isn't that EXACTLY like us!?" and just want to kiss him. This is such a cute little handbook in how a relationship can look like. I felt that "wow-this-is-just-like-us"-feeling for like half of the sketches in this and it made me really appreciate the relationship I have.

Because it's so easy, in this society, to try and look for wrongness and to only see how more happy other people are in their relationship (or that how it seems to look) and start to see the wrong things in your own and how you would like to change it. Then to just read this snippets of connection just made me smile from ear to ear and to really just look at my partner and realize that I'm deeply head over heels in love with him.

This is so cute and wholesome. I've read "Book Love" by this artist before, and related to it a lot as an introvert book lover, and once again I relate to her comics about being in a loving relationship and enjoying the simple things in being of each other's company. a lot of the comics reminded me of my husband and our daily lives, and it made smile a lot.

I would recommend for a quick dose of fluffiness. I thank netgalley for the digital copy.

This is a cute little series of comics about the beginnings of married life. It's nice that it includes both the funny parts as well as the sweet parts. It would be a nice little extra in an engagement or wedding shower gift.

This is a quick and charming series of vignettes of the sweetness in everyday events when you're married to your best friend. If you've ever seen any of Tung's comics, then you know you're in for some feel-good vibes. If you're new, welcome to one of the most soothing and comforting corners of the everyday comics genre.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the sneak peek.

I became obsessed with Debbie Tung's art style after binge reading Book Love and Quiet Girl in a Noisy World, and her latest release did not disappoint. She has such an lovely outlook on life and it really shines through in each of her panels. She's not afraid to showcase the more vulnerable side of her anxieties, but instead balances them with the more lighthearted and sweet aspects of her life. Her work never fails to put a smile on my face and I always connect to some part of it. I simply adored her take on marriage and relationships, and I flew through this in one sitting because I loved it so much. If you're a fan of heartwarming comics, this'll be perfect for you.

Where should I start it?
'Happily Ever After & Everything in Between' by Debbie Tung follows the author on the journey of getting used to being married,solving life together with her husband and just the everyday moments of their life together.

First of all, I am super amazed by the cute artwork throughout the whole graphic novel!
Personally for me it was a very sweet, relatable and cute story about how a fresh marriage starts, and about the kind and weirdly funny moments of everyday life between 2 couples being opposite of each other! I could relate most of the book because I am about to get married in 2 months and my fiancé is a 100% introvert while I am more on the extrovert side.

This graphic novel completely exceeded my expectations going in. All the parts were beautifully created: about hardships, disagreements, fun time together, short talks, different povs. I am sure most of us can nod in unision for what our significatn other did for example when we had to decide on what show to watch together, snuggling on the couch, going grocery shopping and arguing about who forgot what, trying to avoid chores and many more..:)
Being a couple is not all peaches and cream, this is the proof for that and trust me, you will find things that you didn’t even know existed. Until you met him or her. And that is the beauty of being different but loving each other so much.

I wish the novel was longer, I could have read more! Loved it!

This was so sweet I cried.

Relatable, funny, honest, and heartfelt. It is 100% perfect and I can't wait to recommend it.

Author Debbie Tung captures, in simple black-and-white comics, what it feels like to be happily married. Through depictions of "everything in between" sweet I-love-yous and more humorous moments, Tung relays her experiences as a married person in a way that anyone who has been in a long-term relationship will be able to relate to.

Very cute and funny! I wish her comics were longer because they just feel like a warm hug. I had to keep showing my fiancé the most relatable comics because they are too real.

I love this graphic novel so much. It's so scary because I can relate to almost everything. I've read it in one sitting and iI wouldn't mind if it was twice as thick as it was now because I want more.

Happily Ever After & Everything in Between is a comic novel that relates the author's first years of marriage in a fun and engaging way.

The illustrations are adorable, and take the reader into the lives of Debbie and Jason, a young couple of newlyweds that love each other and have great synergy.

Having married my best friend myself, I could easily relate to several of the situations narrated and enjoyed a few laugh-out-loud moments.

It was a sweet reminder of those years of marriage before the kids. Have we ever been that young? Has life ever been so simple?

The book can be read in less than an hour, and it is an entertaining and light read for young and old couples alike.

Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

*This review will be posted on https://lureviewsbooks.weebly.com closer to the publication date*

How simple and quaint this graphic novel is. The relationship portrayed upon its pages is a wonder to behold. The love shown between the couple. The kindnesses shared. The sweetness factor on overload. The artwork was as the storyline, simple and quaint. Anything more would not have done it justice. I enjoyed this very much.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Debbie Tung for this ARC in return for an honest review

Hi everyone!

I requested to read this book because Debbie tung is one of my favorite artists on instagram.
Her short comics are funny and sweet and I was so happy to read another one of her books thanks to Netgalley and the publisher!

With her simple style with ink and gray color scheme, in this comic book, she illustrates her newlywed adventures: from moving into a new house, to making couples friends and from watching tv shows and exercising together to always taking care of each other. I'm not even married, however I found it so relatable.

I definitely recommend this book if you already know her or if you wanna read a short comic collection that is light hearted, adorable and funny.

Such a cute comic. Really made me reminisce about the early years in my own marriage -- how my heart fluttered; how we were goo-goo eyed at each other; and how we held hands all the time. Reading Happily Ever After & Everything in Between makes me want to recapture those early years and play them again, and again.

A wonderful comic about love, marriage, and friendships. Four stars -- I really liked it.

This book will bring a smile on your face when you turn each page. Will constantly remind you of cute memories you have with your partners. Great sketches and lovable content.

Debbie Tung is a gifted storyteller and artist! I first discovered her through Hoopla when I found her book on her love of books. I loved it so much that I bought it! When I saw she had "Happily Ever After & Everything In Between" I couldn't read it fast enough! It was simply delightful. I love how she captures everyday life and articulates it in a succinct, moving way. She makes me laugh, cry, smile and want to share her work with everyone! I highly recommend this sweet book!

Thank you to Andrews McMeel through NetGalley for my copy! All my views are my own.

I have read Debbie Tung's Book Love and loved it, so when I saw this one was available from @netgalley I grabbed it up (for free in exchange for my honest review)!
I have been married for almost 11 years, and this was a fun read with many relatable circumstances between spouses! This had me laughing quite a few times! It's a quick complications of short comics, and a fun lighthearted read! I would definitely recommend this when it comes out on 2 June!
#HappilyEverAfterEverythingInBetween #NetGalley

I recently finished this amazing graphic novel and all I can say it's that I loved it and I'll reread it everytime my days are hectic or not because it was TOTALLY CUTE!

This was absolutely lovely. Honestly, I love Debbie Tung's work and this is good, I can relate even when I'm not marry (but I have a 9 years old relationship with my boyfriend and we are ok with the way we are) 'cuse there's things that you can found funny accurate about a long time relationship or about moving with someone (I live with a friend since the beginning of this years and that's a big change from living alone). So, there's that.

Lovely as always,

This was a cute read that rang true to me in my married life. I liked the lightness of the book. Introverts married to extroverts will no doubt be able to identify with the characters. There is a sweetness between the characters as we follow them through their newlywed days. I like that the writer used everyday experiences to illustrate the connection between the main characters. I also liked that the book doesn’t take itself too seriously. It is a great feel good read for a relaxing evening,

"Happily Ever After & Everything in Between" chronicles the lives of Debbie and her husband. If you have ever stumbled upon her Instagram account, you know what to expect because she has shared a lot on her Instagram. Debbie is exceptionally talented at documenting the simple pleasures, struggles and all the in-between parts of life. I found myself turning the pages very slowly because I wanted to enjoy each comic and all of them made me experience different types of emotions. I was super glad to read it. I think it would be such a great gift for newlyweds.

Thank you for netgalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A cute comic about a recently married couple and the types of conversations and situations they find themselves in. Each little scene is only a page long so it's very easy to get through. The synopsis highlights the fact that one is an introvert and the other an extrovert. I think I was expecting more of a clash between the two types but the introvert/extrovert thing was referenced just a few times throughout the book. It's mainly a cute documentation of the first few years of a new marriage. I definitely recommend this for anyone that wants a fun, light read that will give you a good laugh.

Happily Ever After & Everything in Between by Debbie Tung is such an adorable comic about a married couple. The comics are cute, short and sweet, and relatable.

I love how Debbie Tung wrote this book especially the illustrations. reminded me so much of how me and my husband are like living our life together. i cant wait for this to be published sooner so i can read it together with my husband

I may not usually pick up a graphic novel, but hey, 2020 is my year of wild literary exploration. Turns out that very few books have ever put a smile on my face as much as this one.

"Happily Ever After & Everything In Between" is an absolutely adorable narrative of the author's young marriage with her soulmate. Each page presents a new casual situation from their daily life in a quirky and hilarious way. from difficulties picking a movie, going out, cooking dinner to paying mortgage. The characters were so relatable and sweet that I couldn't help sending many of the graphics to my boyfriend which made us laugh and recall many moments from our relationship.

For this reason, low-key wish that the book was ever so slightly less personal to the author. The opening pages reveal that they got married six year ago and that this book documents their adventure so far. That's why I personally wouldn't feel like buying this book for someone I'm in a relationship with, for example, because it feels inappropriate, like someone else's love story, implying that I wish we were them. This might be a controversial opinion, and others might think this aspect the best thing about this book, but this is my suggestion.

I seriously wish this novel was longer.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley, for providing a digital copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
Happily Ever After & Everything in Between is a delightful compilation of comics that honestly illustrate how long-term relationships work. From newlyweds, to buying a first home, Debbie Tung managed to put dreams, hopes and more with just a few panels per comic at her disposal. I found myself relating to both of the characters, and showing some of the comics to my girlfriend.
I deeply recommend this book if you’re looking for some light reading that can make your heart feel warm, specially in these uncertain times. Definitely recommend for the romantics out there who are simply done with unreal expectations set by the traditional media.
This book will be published by Andrews McMeel Publishing on June 2th, 2020.

Very cute and relatable with the way it portrays relationships. This is a great read for newlyweds or even new couples. This was a humorous and happy read and several of the comics got a laugh out of me.

What's not to love about this book and this author?? Everything feels very genuine and realistic. Not everyday is the best but having a true friend there for you through it all makes it easier. Not every relationship has to be hard and you don't have to settle for a good enough spouse. I enjoy everything from this author and would recommend it to everyone.

This is the epitome of "it's the little things that matter" in a relationship. The little snapshots of their marriage is so cute and wholesome and relatable no matter what your status is. If you want to sit down with a heart-warming read for a little bit, this is the book to pick up. The art style maintains a nice simplicity with little moments of beauty. The title really encapsulates the story and the ending was so sweet. I cannot wait to read more of her works!

Comical view of life as newlyweds from the perspective of an introverted wife. I could relate to many of the scenes and got a few good laughs. This book is a quick and easy read, sure to put a smile on your face.

I teared up in the end. I smiled and laughed.
This book is just so cute and so relatable to anyone who is in this happy relationship.

Adorable illustrations and very funny real-life situations that the characters experience. There is not that much to say about this comic - it's just good. Simple as that.
The beauty of this book is in how much you can connect yourself to the characters. How many time you yourself were in such situations. This means that this book is probably not for everyone.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend to anyone who is happily coupled up.

Happily Ever After & Everything In Between is a quirky little collection of comics revolving around the everyday life of a newly-wed couple, based on the author's own experiences of marriage. It takes the little moments, from staying in together, deciding who does the chores, and loving the other's little quirks, and puts them all together for some simply wholesome content.

I really enjoyed the art style for this book: the gray, watercolour tones combined with scenes containing quite a lot of detail were refreshing to look at. I almost wish there were more pages like it, as most frames contained simple white backgrounds (though considering this is a collection of comics, the simplicity makes sense).

The overall message I got from this book was around the idea that marriage may not be how one expects it to be, but that's what makes it an enjoyable experience. It doesn't always have to be "romantic," but it can still be fun and exciting and a place of comfort. This is a very sweet and cute message to portray, though it's not a very new idea; many web comics exhibit the concept of "expectations versus reality," and there wasn't much out-of-the-ordinary with this one.

Overall, this was a fun, cute read! I can imagine newly-wed couples (or any married people, for that matter) finding much to appreciate and relate to in this book.

I read A Quiet Girl In a Noisy World so I knew the second I saw this I just had to read it. So glad I was able to get an early copy of this and what a special read it was. I saw myself in every page and slide of this book and had q few good laughs along the way, mostly agreeing that the way she and myself thinks the same. I one day hope for a relationship so beautiful, and real, and quiet as this one. Just easy going and loving and full of sweetness. 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book for me to read!

This was such a cute story! The illustrations were lovely and hilarious, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this graphic novel by Debbie Tung. A humorous graphic about marriage life, drawn from the author's own life with her husband, it was funny and sweet to read through. Graphic novels are a genre that I am still new to, but I thought this piece was gripping, fun, and an easy read for anyone, even someone who isn't married. I highly recommend!

I can't with Debbie Tung! She is seriously my fav author.
Everything she writes, I will buy. This is my third books I have read from her and did not disappoint.
Her other two books are soooo relatable to me, and surprisingly this one as well! Her relationship with her husband is just so sweet, funny, and a lot of it are soooo similar with my relationship life. I am thinking to get this book as an anniversary gift for him.
I smile so so wide while reading this book. It truly makes my heart warmth!

Debbie Tung does it again. If you enjoyed Book Love or Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story, this is another smash hit that combines charm, humor and heart. The unique style is perfectly layered here to warm even the coldest heart. Five stars. Even the cynical soul will be comforted with this beautiful book.

5 stars read for me.

I could relate this book with my relationship with my bf and some of it is so true. I really look forward to reading more of her books cause i just FREAKING ADORE HER WORK.
Debbie never fails me. When she mention books as her priority in her household bill. That was just so relatable and hilarious 😂😂😂

Highly recommend to check her book out she is amazing and hope to check out more of her work in the future....

Happily Ever After & Everything In Between is a sweet, slice of life graphic novel. It had me smiling the entire time I was reading it. I didn't love it quite as much as Quiet Girl in a Noisy World and Book Love. However, it was just as heartwarming and relatable as those two books. Some of my favorite/most relatable moments were disagreeing over the thermostat, wanting ice cream on snowy days, using each other as an excuse to be antisocial, and all of the other little things in a relationship that let you know that your partner knows and understands you better than anyone else. I do think that couples that are married or in a long term relationship will appreciate this more than people who are single.

I absolutely love Debbie Tung. I feel like her books are about me! This one was especially sweet and I kept showing my husband different parts of it because it just felt like us.

This book was cozy and warm! I loved the illustrations and the story arc. I'm almost 100% sure this is a true story and autobiographical of the author's life, which makes it so much more impactful! The juxtaposition of the "outdoor" relationship vs. the "indoor" relationship felt so realistic! I really hope I can find a partner like this, to be silly with. This book was cute and cuddly and emotional, loved it!

Thought this might be a cute read, and it definitely was. I definitely saw me and my husband in this comic, so it's nice to see some couple things are definitely universal. It's not exactly what I thought it would be, but it was an easy read, so I am not complaining. Was very enjoyable. I couldn't exactly tell at times who was the extrovert and introvert, since even me and my husband are both and I can't tell sometimes who is more or less. But I think that was the point and it's how the couple complimented each other. Recommend. Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy.

Debbie Tuang’s new book Happily Ever After is a very cute collection of comics about married life, it is charming and entertaining. Some say that marriage is the greasiest achievement, Tung is that happy newlywed and demonstrates the daily life of being a young couple in her new book. You do not have to be a newlywed to relate with everything she says or draws. There are many comics in this collection that will make you smile, several that will you want to share and others that you will even say awh!

I absolutely loved Book Love, this is not as great, but definitely worth the read! 4.5 stars

Thank you #netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I adore slice of life comics and this delightful novel was no exception. Being married is, overall, a weird thing. This amazing comic series shows how wonderful and strange real life can be. Do you need something funny and light for COVID-19? Read this, it is a true delight.

I really enjoyed this book because it is SO RELATEABLE with the relationship that I am currently in. I found myself laughing out loud several times as I am guilty of some of the things that take place in this book. Overall it was a very quick and enjoyable read that I would recommend for anyone in a relationship.

I received an eARC from @netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I had a great time reading this comic collection! It was so relatable which made it all the more enjoyable. I love Debbie Tung’s art style and will definitely be keeping an eye out for future collections by her (as well as reading her previous ones!). ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5.

Release Date: 2 June 2020.

This was very cute, and very easy to read. I really liked the drawings, especially the full-page ones. Very adorable. The one bad point is that it made me crave some McDonald's, especially chicken nuggets.
Ideally read in bed, with a cup of tea, while it's raining outside.

3.5 stars

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

I loved this book, it was so funny, relateable and numerous and I loved how the female character (Debbie) loves books too.
The drawings are brilliant and very comical.
A quick but enjoyable read and I will be checking out more of Debbie Tungs work!

Debbie Tung's comics always make me a ball of mush. It's partly why I keep coming back to them - to let them melt me into this emoticon with starry eyes and moist eyes both at once.

Also, totally not an overreaction:
Debbie: I can finally connect with nature.
H: The Wi-Fi is down
Debbie: Noooooooo, how will we survive????

This was really sweet and relatable. I could easily recognize my own relationship and reading this brought a smile to my face several times. However, the quality varied quite a bit thoughout the book and while some comic strips were adorable, a few fell kinda flat for me. I would recommend this to people in a relationship, maybe even to read it together with a partner. I hope there will be a follow up about the author's journey as a mother.

Debbie Tung is definitely on top of my lists of favourite cartoonists as she writes and illustrates stories that are heartwarming, relatable and absolutely adorable. I feel like I could read her works for hours and hours on end. I had the pleasure to read her previous works recently and I love each and every one of them. From the small details to the bigger ones, every single thing.

This book made me believe in love, the happiness and joy of finding the one and making the most of the memories you would have together. That small actions the other makes will still make butterflies flutter in your stomach even after all the years, the simple moments of everyday life and that perhaps life isn't so bad after all when you've got each other's backs.

Every time I finish this author's works, I'd yearn for more and then I'd want even more after that. I don't think I will ever cease to get bored with her comic strips, relatable content of being obsessed with books and staying in, the love she has for her husband (lowkey jealous because I want what she has. Hopefully someday!) gorgeous and detailed illustrations. I look forward to what she has to offer next and in the meantime, I'll just repeatedly read her books over and over again!

This was a cute peek into the dating and early marriage of the author. It had a lot of relatable moments and was a quick, enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed Book Love and Quiet Girl in A Noisy World and felt the same for this new book by Debbie Tung. It was such a cute and romantic story about their marriage life. Some of them are relatable to me. Her artwork is nice. I can’t wait to put my hands on the physical copy.

This is just so cute!! Feeling so warm and fuzzy on the inside 🥰

I’m not married yet but some things are very relatable to my boyfriend and I. I can’t help but share some of the comic strips with him!

High praise for the adorable cartoons and illustrations. I truly enjoyed this comic. It helped me unwind from a busy day at work.

Also a big thank you to the author for sharing her life with us through these wonderful comics. Can’t wait to see more works from her!

I have always enjoyed Debbie Tung's work on Instagram and her books are an equally charming addition to it. This one, however, straight up melted my heart. I am a sappy person at heart and I love cherishing the little moments in life. And this book does exactly that. Thanks, Debbie, for another heartwarming work.

This is the kind of book that you give your favourite couple, a newly married couple. Very cute and relatable.

I've seen/read a lot of short comics from Debbie Tung online and have always found them cute and quite relatable, and yet I never knew she had books published.
This one hit specifically close to home, as her relationship with her husband is illustrated so honestly and it warmed my heart, and it made me think of my partner and I's relationship. Thus I ended up with a smile plastered on my face while reading. I hope most if not all readers can relate while going through the pages - Debbie Tung depicts quite a happy and normal life with one's partner.
The comic was a fast and light read and just made my day a bit brighter. Half the reason why, is the drawing style that is simplistic enough, so it doesn't overwhelm or distract from the story, but it's also cute and just overall, nice to look at.

4.5

I totally checked this one out only because of the author, since I really enjoyed Debbie's previous comics. In the similar manner to Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story, this one offers insight into Debbie's personal life, while at the same time being cute, funny, and probably relatable to anyone married or in a long term relationship. I enjoyed this comic a lot. It's drawn in a signature Debbie's artwork, simplistic, but effective. I really can't wait to see what she's coming up with next and I'd highly recommend this one to everyone looking for something cute to cheer them up.

Thanks to the Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely LOVED this comic book! The ending was so precious! Debbie does a wonderful and creative job of conveying what a bibliophile-introvert often goes through. Add in the marriage aspect and it gives the reader hardcore feels.

This was an adorable book. I enjoyed it very much. Debbie Tung does a really good book with her books. #HappilyEverAfterEverythingInBetween #NetGalley

3.5 stars

Tung has the talent to write and draw feel-good books and this was no exception. Whilst "Quiet Girl in a Noisy World" focused on the author's mental health, this aimed to show snippets of the author's married life.

Overall, it a beautifully drawn feel-good book that left a smile on my face!

This was my first ever graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. It was a super easy, quick read. The illustrations were so cute and were really easy to follow along with and really portrayed the emotions that the characters were feeling. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me early access to this book.

Debbie Tung’s latest graphic novel, Happily Ever After & Everything In Between, continues her simple yet delightfully engaging musings on everyday life. Tung’s latest work shows her lovable protagonist’s evolution of self and partnership. Renderings lovingly highlight a myriad of relational dynamics from pre-marriage to the honeymoon period, to settling in and growing together from individuals to a couple and as a family. Lighthearted and completely relatable with laugh out loud reflections are sure to charm a diverse crowd!

4 snuggles out of 5!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the electronic ARC in trade for an honest review.

I love graphic novels/comics about relationships and couples especially. I've read ones with family members too but the ones about couples just seem to always really hit the mark and make my heart swoon.

Debbie Tung hit the nail on the head with so many of these panels, and she had a lot that I could personally relate to that I haven't yet seen done already which is a treat.

I'd love to read and see more from her - the little relationship she created in between her pages made me happy and was a nice pick me up. Loved it.

I love Debbie Tung’s previous work, and this was no exception! Her illustrations are great and I love the story on each page.

Very sweet! A quick and nice read, would make a great Anniversary gift.

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC for an honest opinion.

Thanks Netgalley for this opportunity , that I can read the book before it release officially. .

I always love Debbie Tung books .

And , this book a 5 stars from me .

Totally relatable with me and about marriage life .

Seriously, i keep on smiling happily while reading the book.

After I’ve finished read the book , I give my husband a smile and hugs him .

Great book Debbie Tung . <3

I really enjoy Debbie Tung’s comics and this doesn’t disappoint. Heart-warming, fun and an honest look at relationships.

A cute, relatable and heartwarming book that reminds readers of the tender moments that make long relationships so special. The art style is simple, but well-done. The length is also ideal, with enough variety between the different anecdotes so that you don't get tired of how sweet the book is.

The art is so cute that you'll find yourself flipping through until you realize the book has ended. This book includes various scenes that are familiar to married couples and presents them in a fun way.

The only reason I'm not rating it higher is because I had already seen many of the illustrations -- or ones like them -- before. It could also be that I've gone through them, which is why they were so familiar lol That said, this is a cute, short read!

I loved Book Girl and Quiet Girl in a Noisy World by Debbie Tung so I had expectations for her new book Happily Ever After & Everything In Between. I was not disappointed. Debbie's books are cozy and cute. Though the characters are much younger than me, I find different scenes that I relate to exactly. Other times I like them because I see my college age and 20 something kids and their significant others. This book has a sweet but realist picture of a young couple just married. I don't know if I'd call this a graphic novel though it does tell a story -- it's a curl up on the couch and read in one sitting kind of book. I already can think of several people this will make a great gift for. I'm hoping Debbie is working on the next installment -- life after baby. I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary copy of this book on Net Galley, all opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this! I really loved the art style in this graphic novel. i also found it extremely relatable, which i really loved. It was so honest and so real.

I was a little confused at how the graphic novel was laid out, but I think this more has to do with the fact that I was reading it digitally and not physically. i wasn't sure how the novel was laid out, but then I started to catch on that it was little vignettes, but some were longer and some were shorter.

Overall, I really enjoyed it! I found myself laughing out loud and "awww"ing at certain pages. I think anyone who has been in a relationship would really enjoy this! With that ending, I'm REALLY hoping we get a sequel!

This is another wonderful collection of comics by Debbie Tung focused on the early years of her marriage and the normal ups and downs of building a life together. It's generally just an adorable view of a happy couple.

Absolutely loved it! There is so much of this book that I was agreeing with and was happy to know I'm not the only one doing some of these things with my partner!

3.5 out of 5 wine glasses. Super cute, super sweet, and very relatable. I enjoyed the art style and the pacing, plus even though I've been married for over a decade, I could still relate to the young couple (which made me feel young at heart)!

I think I've seen panels from this illustrator as relatable memes in the past, so I'm glad to finally be reading a full collection.

I've been showing scenes to my boyfriend and as he saw me nearing the end, he had this to say;
Boyfriend: "how's the comic book that tragically describes our love life" ...
Woah. Tragic is a bit dramatic, but this comic is eerily accurate!

I yawned in sympathy at the ruined yawn sketch. This, among other scenes got a chuckle!

Overall, this was cute, relatable, but ultimately, it will be a bit forgettable standing up to some of the other comics/graphic novels and general books I read, due to its simplicity (which works but isn't super captivating).

Another wonderful collection of comics from Debbie Tung, this time focused more so around her and Jason's relationship, marriage, and all the cute little in-between moments.

That was such a wholesome read. It was definitely a good in-between book to break up my murder mystery kick. I thought the art style would be different based on the cover for some reason but I still enjoyed it! A little simple but some pages were stunning. The one with the 'plant jungle' was my favourite. I'd happily read about the next part of their lives! I have a feeling a pregnancy book would be equally hilarious and lovely.

This is the first book by this author that I’ve read and I really enjoyed it! The illustrations are adorable and the story itself is SO relatable! I found myself laughing out loud to so many of the lines I was reading. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a quick, funny read about the real joys of marriage!
