Goodreads Synopsis: 

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.

 Review: 
I have so much love for Debbie Tung's comics and grahic novels. She is a book lover and reader, an introvert, and in this book in love... She is relatable on ALL the levels and I was thrilled to get to read this book.

The comics throughout this collection are so funny, so real, and SO cute. She shares her introvert/marriage wins, many that I too have experience with. For example, doing your own things but together, getting a cup of tea because you looked like you needed it, leaving a gathering early, deciding to stay in with a pizza and a movie. The whole collection is drawn by the author herself inspired by her real life experiences and it shows. It made me laugh and smile and frown a bit and happy cry a bit. It was the range of emotion I love especially from a graphic novel where things are so simple yet so complex.

I think that if you are married or in a long term relationship this book will really resonate with you, it might not hit all those points if you are single. Although it will still be a cute and romantic read. I will be reading this book again and again.
