Goodreads Synopsis: 

Tommy Siegel's Candy Hearts comics offer a hysterical window into the many ways romantic couples are not at all on the same page.

 

From the awkwardness of flirting during a pandemic to scrolling through disastrous dating profiles, Candy Hearts hilariously captures the secrets, lies, and misunderstandings behind every relationship. With dozens of never-before-seen comics and a special Candy Hearts sticker set, this book is the perfect Valentine’s Day (or Anti-Valentine’s Day) gift for your friends, lovers, or even yourself.

Review: 

I came across this book on Netgalley while looking for books to read and it looked just enough funny and dark for my humor and it did not disappoint. I have a strong love for Candy Hearts in general both eating them (nom) but my husband also proposed using one, so they hold a special place in my heart.

Candy Hearts is all about internal dialogues and what you are thinking in different situations, but all the situations Siegel puts the hearts into turn out to be funny and awkward.

This book is for adult audiences due to its crass-ness and concepts. It is a series of comics where some are only one page and others go on for a few. They cover concepts of dating, online dating, being along, being with the right/wrong person, parenting, and just relationships overall. 

The collection was fun, it was nothing amazing, but the jokes were funny. Some were laughable, others a bit too awkward for my liking (but that probably says something about me more than the book). This would be a fun one to read around Valentine's Day, I think it works for those in relationships and probably those not as well.
