Goodreads Synopsis:

True love isn’t always about the big romantic gestures.

Sometimes it’s about sympathizing with someone whose tea has gone cold or reading together and sharing a quilt. When two people move in together, it soon becomes apparent that the little things mean an awful lot. The throwaway moments in life become meaningful when you spend them in the company of someone you love.

SOPPY is Philippa Rice’s collection of comics and illustrations based on real-life moments with her boyfriend. From grocery shopping to silly arguments and snuggling in front of the television, SOPPY captures the universal experience of sharing a life together, and celebrates the beauty of finding romance all around us.

Review:

This was a cute, very light and easy comic. It's mostly pictures, with not a lot of dialogue. It's a slice of life kind of book, where we get to watch this couple before, and then as they live together, and the little moments of their life together.

We see the cute, odd conversations, how they tease and decide what to eat for dinner. Snuggling on the couch, the realities of how they sleep in bed, what they do in the morning as they get ready and then work.

It's all the little moments. And I appreciate that.
