It works really well as a printed collection, particularly with the absolutely excellent chapter pages. They're so good I thought they were the work of some famous poet and not original.

I was hoping this would have a little more content that was new to me.
But that's a personal problem - I guess I'm a little bit of a Johnny Wander fangirl.

I love the aesthetic and tone of Ananth and Yuko's work - they're quirky, honest, a little snarky. Good stuff. I'm looking forward to the next long-form work they put out.

The type of pleasing and cozy book that pairs perfectly with coffee in the morning, a hot bath, or a day in bed when you’re not feeling well. I borrowed it but I’m hoping to purchase it for myself. A true sign of a great read.

Nothing mind blowing but a very entertaining series of comic strips!
Especially the ones about tinnitus were very relatable to me. :')

This is a trimmed down version of my review, to view the full review visit The Book Ramble.

I received a copy of this book from Diamond Book Distributors on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This collection of comics follows the lives of Yuko Ota, Ananth Hirsh, and their roommates as they move to a new house and get new pets. Culminating in Hirsh and Ota’s engagement. Of course there’s also cats. I enjoyed this collection a lot, it felt kind of like a Lucy Knisley book a little, though it never got quite as serious as her stuff usually is.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I grew to really like the people in this book. I really enjoy this slice of life type of writing. The hourly comics especially were fun. I really liked the cats….they were super cute!

I wasn’t a huge fan of the colours on the pages, it made things a little hard to read. If it had been black and white it might have been a little easier for me to read. I still liked the art aside from that though.

I would definitely recommend this book. I look forward to reading more by this pair.

Big ol' volume of mostly one-page slice of life comics, sort of like American Elf. Charming. I read all 403 pages in one sitting, which is probably a pretty strong recommendation.
