Such a cute collection of comics! As an introvert (Mocha) married to an extrovert (Milk) the comics were super relatable. Also, they're just a little snapshot of wholesome characters being sweet to each other.

This book was so absolutely adorable!

We follow the daily lives of Milk and Mocha with their adorable pet Matcha.

Such a beautiful book about love and friendship. It shows that no matter our differences, sometimes you can complement each other so well.

Perfect as a sweet and comfort read that just makes you happy. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Netgally and Andrews McMeel Publishing, for providing me with this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

The popular webcomic @milkmochabear has a little book! This fun, slice of life vignettes showcase Milk, Mocha, and Matcha falling in love with their little found family.

I was particularly obsessed with the story of how Milk and Mocha met, and how Matcha finally accepted Mocha as one of his parents.

Overall extremely sweet graphic novel to look through either by yourself or with your partner. I have already sent a bunch of the vignettes to my boyfriend with the caption "look thats us!" Either way, you are bound to have such a wonderful time with this one.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

So, this looks super cute. I was really excited to see the comics, as I've never heard of this artist. And the very first comic set the tone for an adorable couple of bears, one of whom doesn't speak, the other who is perpetually hungry, and their little pet dinosaur.

So many of these are just WHOLESOME and adorable.



But. But but but.

I feel like a number of them may be inside jokes. Plenty of the comics do involve dialogue, including words written on a small board by Mocha, but a lot are nonverbal. And so many are sweet and don't require explanation.

But.



What is happening here? I'm so confused.

Really worth the time to read, but some of them are just...confusing.
