This book was so perfectly weird. Very relatable for my relationship and life. My husband kept peaking over my shoulder and laughing with my from cover to cover,

I follow Sarah on Instagram and when the book was announced I knew I had to read it. Her comics are relatable, funny, and cute but with the dash of weird someone in a long term relationship can totally understand. I've sent so many of these comics to my boyfriend saying, "Look, it's us!"
Thank you for putting all these in one place and providing this for me to review. I look forward to more!

I enjoyed Kim Reaper a lot and this series, which chronicles the author's life and relationship is just as cute if not cuter. I mean, there are FOUR cats in this comic people! Also an adorable relationship between a couple of goofy people who truly seem to love each other.

I recommend this comic for people who like banter and poop/farts humour.

This wasn't for me. The art work is cute and consistent, the book is well designed, although it is just a collection of random vignettes put together. What really didn't work for me was the type of humour in this comic - even if I actually laughed with a few of the scenes - I generally found it mean and dirty.

I have followed the author of this comic for a few years now and I love everything she makes.
This book is a compilation of some of the comics she has drawn and posted on Instagram. I found all of these comics so cute and relatable, it shows a lovely in site on her relationship and the silly things that they do with each other.
As much as it is a lovely thing to see every so often on Instagram, being able to read such a book is a lovely thing to keep on the shelf.

Already such a huge fan of Sarah's comics online, was so happy to see she had a book coming out! I totally see myself and my boyfriend in Sarah & Stef, the weird closeness and the cat quirks. So wonderful. Much like Catana
Comics, we've seen some of these before, but I never mind that. I always feel grateful they share their art on Instagram to us for free. Congrats on this great collection, Sarah!

I got an ARC of this book.

I have seen some of these comics before and I generally liked them. I have chuckled and moved on. There were times when I was really amused and even forwarded them on to others. Yet, reading this book just left me majorly disappointed

It appears that every single comic I liked the first dozen times I saw them were included in this book. That isn't a bad thing. The bad thing was those were the only comics that I even mildly liked. This book was just constant poop and fart jokes. I have never enjoyed those jokes, even as a kid. I am just shocked at the sheer number of those jokes. There was no substance at all. There was just poop and fart. That was it. 

There were a few comics that had the potential to be funny, but they were just so overshadowed by everything else that I couldn't enjoy them. There were a few fart jokes about the cats that could have been funny, but there were just so many fart jokes that I was annoyed before they appeared. I don't recommend this book to anyone, unless they have the humor of an eight year old boy (though the eight year old boys I know also wouldn't have found this book funny). 

The only art that stood out to me was the cats. They were consistently cute and I looked forward to seeing them for the most part.

I feel the same way about this comic collection that I do about Catana Comics' collection. I have seen some of Sarah's work before on social media and found it cute and funny. This also got a laugh or two out of me at a couple of bits. However, overall, this trend of comics is super creepy read as a whole volume. It seems so weirdly co-dependent and doesn't appeal to me at all. Maybe I'm heartless and have no human feelings? Also, way too heavy on the fart and poop jokes, and I'm not normally someone who feels that way about fart and poop jokes.

I am already a fan of Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins as I follow their adventures on social. I adore the quirky art style and short, too the point, laugh out loud comics.

There were a number of scenarios in the comics where I see my hubby and myself.

Heartwarming and funny. Ended to soon and made me wanting more.

A cute and wonderful adventure. Glad to see this artist getting recognition! As a cat owner she really expresses what it's like.

I don't think I'd recommend it for the LibraryReads but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. This book is so cute! I see a lot of my boyfriend and I in Sarah and Stef so some of these cute little comics hit close to home. I love reading comics about the simple and mundane and this book hits the right notes. Quick read, good for reluctant readers.

This comic made my heart happy as it includes cats, love and farts. I really like the graphics (I already follow the author on instagram (which I recommend 10/10)) and the humour. If you want to giggle on your couch ,with your cat on your lap, read this book! If you don't have a cat, you will still enjoy this book very much!

This had a few relatable frames (cat ownership really creates a common bond and seems to continue to be a solid foundation for humor in art). Some funny parts, but I’ve read others that I like much better so I think it’s a tough comparison. I can see some folks really enjoying this one, for me it was just okay.

I do love seeing an artist pursue their passion so it’s exciting to see the way the author is working to get into the graphic novel/comics world.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What’s not to love, the two main characters are adorable and let’s not forget the four cats - Who can resist them!

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. I found it easy to relate to. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

This fun bunch of comics brings me so much joy! Its so easy to just zip through them all and then go back and do it again, laughing every time. This is what a real relationship is and I love all of the quirky little bits. Our Super Adventure is drawn well, beautifully coloured and popped with the sweet and the spice that makes me want to adopt several cats and a cat-like boy of my own.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review; I am also interviewing the creator for The Beat.

Sarah Graley's diary comics are so fun and super #relatable, so seeing them collected in one volume made for a wildly fun read. I really like Graley's other comics, as well, but my first exposure to her work was through the strips about her cats, her shared love of pizza, and her partner Stef. I was instantly hooked, and that hasn't changed a bit. If you're a fan of comics like Kate Beaton, you'll very likely love this — I highly recommend grabbing a copy!

Oh. My. God. Y'all, my freaking RIBS hurt. I've always loved Sarah's webcomics, but this collection was the best of the best and I seriously laughed so hard through the entire book. Sarah and Stef remind me SO much of myself and my spouse, and I literally was just making my poor spouse look at so many of these comics like, "Look! It's us!" If you can't relate to the way these two act around each other, you might not find it as hilarious as I did, but I honestly think anyone will be able to find something to love here.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I absolutely adored meeting Sarah, Stef, Wilson, Pixel, Pesto, and Toby. The scenes were relatable and had heart.

That said, some of the panels seemed related but were many pages away from each other, and other panels lacked an ending or punch line. I think this collection could be made stronger with some rearranging and editing.

Sarah Graley's stuff is so sweet, silly, and will have you saying "this reminds me of me/us!" more often than not. A fun read for teens and older. The art style is inviting and colorful.
