Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review
You know how, when you're hanging out with someone you really love, like a best friend, sister, spouse, etc, and something happens and you both laugh so hard you pee a little? Or you're having a text conversation and it's just so witty and snappy, you're convinced you need your own reality show?
But then you try to tell other people about this hilarity, and they just kind of smile bemusedly and say, "Must've had to be there"?
This book is one, long, "You had to be there."
I don't doubt these sisters have a great relationship, and that they amuse the hell out of each other. But it does. not. translate. These stories are not funny, or amusing, or interesting. They're just there.

'Sister BFFs' by Philippa Rice is a book of comics about sibling sisters who constantly bicker about things.
Two sisters who are grown but still living at home fight each other about everything from who cleans to exes to how much money you'd kiss Tom Jones for. There are job searches and funny text exchanges. There are comments about body odors and how they dress.
It's all pretty funny. It feels like it is taken from real life. I've liked the author/artists other collections and this was different, but still funny.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

A third through this, I wanted to ditch this so bad. Having 3 sisters, I thought this would be a great read. However reading two twenty-something sisters behaving like 9 year olds are very off-putting. It did get slightly better after that (sliiiiightly).

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.
“Sister BFFs follows a pair of sisters who are not quite adults but trying desperately to act like them. From job searches to embarrassing encounters with former crushes, these twenty-something sisters navigate the ups, downs, and in-betweens of early adulthood – together…”
This was a cute, short collection of comics based on the author’s real life. I have a little brother, so I usually love reading about awesome sibling dynamics. Unfortunately, this was advertised as “sweet” and “witty” and I didn’t really feel either of those words accurately describe this collection. The sisters argued too much; they were downright mean to each other for no reason. Unwarranted picking, bugging, rude retorts. It just didn’t sit well with me. I like reading about siblings who love each other and have an incredible bond, like my brother and me. And yes, obviously we fight sometimes, but that’s not my kind of humour. I don’t like fighting. It just didn’t charm me like I thought it would be going into it.
The plot didn’t have a direction – it just felt like a peek into some the lives of some rude people. These characters were supposed to be adults, but I know 5-year-olds who are more mature than them. Juvenile and childish are the best words to describe these characters. I detested them, to be quite honest.
Some people may love this, they may connect to the sibling rivalry and rudeness, but it just wasn’t for me. I don’t know if there was anything outright wrong with it, but I didn’t like it.

I guess I was hoping for more relatable bits to show my sister, but I felt like they were a lot meaner than us. But still some cute art and some funny bits

You are an ocean away (literally) from your sister and you read this book and realise how stupid you were to tell her that she was an adopted child, that your mom loves you more than her, that you are blessed that sister came as a bff in a family.
Okay, I thought I never going to say that but I want my lil sis right now, sitting beside me, eating junks. Right Now!

This was a fun read!
Philippa Rice wrote Soppy an adorable graphic novel that featured real life moments with her boyfriend. In this one however she illustrates memories with her sister. Having a sister myself, I felt a personal connection to a lot of the stories.
That one actually happened not long ago, as we were watching on YouTube excellent auditions in talent shows:
