Quick, adorable read, especially for those who are completely smitten with someone. For the weirdo romantics!

A very small and cute comic book! Everything is very relatable to me. I tell my husband about some of the strips. It was a very quick and fun read.

This is a great collection of short comics. They are quick and short, and great reflection of relationships. There are many little comics you read and smile to yourself and think of it is similar to one's own relationships.
Although I love the quick little stories, I do wonder if she should go more in depth. As the stories progress, she does show darker, not so cute aspects of relationships, and in a way I do wish she went into detail and created a story. But as is, it is a great book to flip through and read little glimpses of the character's romance.

I'd give this 2.5 stars if I could. Cute comic beginnings, but occasionally creepy in the subject matter. I can see why they eventually broke up.

Liz Prince is maybe better known for her [b:Alone Forever: The Singles Collection|18853251|Alone Forever The Singles Collection|Liz Prince|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1385351343s/18853251.jpg|26799422] comics on life as a single lady, but this one is an adorable (and pocket-sized!) collection about her life with her boyfriend. Themes include: Butt grabs, cuddle farts, and silly talks.

Ok, first - beware. This book is tiny. Like, not a great deal bigger than my phone, tiny.
I actually read it and am reviewing it sooner because I'm terrified I'm going to lose the library copy I have.
I read Prince's [b: Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir|20256612|Tomboy A Graphic Memoir|Liz Prince|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1395769985s/20256612.jpg|28068606] first, and then put this on hold. As far as the form goes, it is very similar in concept to [b: Soppy|21535713|Soppy A Love Story|Philippa Rice|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1400882237s/21535713.jpg|40864662], something I read less than a month ago. Definitely don't go into this expecting something as polished as either of those books. It could easily be a daily comic, with moments in life, focusing on her relationships with her paramour.
In many panels, you can see the thumbnailing outlines* faintly under her final images. It's sketchy (but not necessarily in a bad way). The style (b&w, obvs) fits, to an extent, with the content, which is occasionally crass and crude, and honest (I assume) about the intimate dynamic of this very specific couple.
Cute, super fast read (it might have taken me a half hour).
I see that she has several other works focusing on her early dating life, so I imagine this could be an especially satisfying read if you've watched her try and fail to find her partner through a book or two.
Read if you like people enthusing about their happy relationships.
*Anyone know what those are called? Circles with lines across to show perspective on a head, for example?

Ugh. I mean, Jon and I do some of these things but I certainty don't want anyone to read about it and I don't want to read about anyone else doing it. Some of the weird shit couples do are meant to be just for the weird couples!!!!!!!
