Relationships are tricky. Each one is different, and all are full of ups and downs, lovely moments and the most frustrating personal habits you’ve ever encountered. It’s all a mix, and it’s never perfect. But when you love someone enough, those quirks and oddities can be (mostly) endearing. You know, to a point.
I loved this book because it is a beautiful portrait of the compromises and sacrifices we have to make in a relationships, but more so what we get in return. It shows the support we can offer one another, the small kindnesses that mean so much, and the funny moments in between. But most of all, it shows the ways in which we are all able to drive one another crazy, no matter how much we love each other, and that we can also choose to find at least some of those things funny. And this book is extremely, extremely funny.
If you’re seeking for a look into what real relationships look like, if you want to know that all the things you thought only happened in your house are actually really common, and if you want to see what love looks like in the small things rather than the big moments, this book offers all this and more.
From the bestselling author of Quiet Girl in a Noisy World and Book Love comes a funny and adorable collection of comics about married life, specifically an introvert married to an extrovert! Debbie Tung’s tender, funny, and utterly relatable comics are the perfect gift for anyone in a relationship.
The comics in Happily Ever After & Everything In Between may be inspired by Debbie Tung’s marriage to her extrovert husband, but any couple can relate to increasingly relaxed anniversaries, slowly seeing more of each other’s weird sides, or the punishment for taking care of your sick loved one (catching whatever they had). Happily Ever After humorously captures what everyday love looks like—both the sweet moments and the mundane—making it a fitting gift for weddings, anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day. – Goodreads
