Description:

The wildly popular web comic SOPPY--with more than half a million notes on Tumblr--is the illustrated love story of author Philippa Rice and her real-life boyfriend. 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.


Rating: 5 stars

Review:

I love the quirky and adorable artwork. Soppy follows the author and her real-life boyfriend as they deal with their relationship. This was truly sappy and sweet and truly a fun romantic comedy in the making.

This just focused on the everyday normal domestic things that this couple is doing from hanging out at home to enjoying a date. I will admit it I'm a total romantic sap and this book is so adorable because it's funny and really cute. I couldn't stop smiling or laughing while reading this.

I enjoyed reading every page of this. This was my first time reading anything from this author but I'm glad I did. I can't say enough how cute this was.

It's simplistic yet brilliant in how it shows all the little things about romance which tend to mean so much more than the big over the top in your face shout it to the world romance. This was so sweet.

I definitely will be buying a copy of this when it's available.
