The next hot ticket could be British artist Philippa Rice, whose marvelously inventive blogs My Cardboard Life and Soppy have won her fans across the world."
--Anna Baddeley, The Observer
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.

This is pretty much too cute for me. But, for those who enjoy really soppy (Briticism for sentimental - similar to 'sappy') stories about young love, this is that cup of tea. It's got loads of milk and sugar. And honey. According to my brother it is, "Adorbs." Pretty much a spot on description...
4.5 stars.I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.When I saw this on Netgalley I knew I had to get this one, the description sounds super adorable, and it sounded like something that I would like (since I also have a boyfriend).The comic/graphic novel is about the life o...
