If you are looking for good feel comic, this is it, Advance Copy generously provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review,
I recently had an ARC for I Hope This Helps by Tommy Siegel and while that was not the biggest hit with me, in my review I said that my favourite parts from the book were those which included the candy hearts.
So, of course, I could not pass on this one,
And I was not disappointed, It was a very quick read, Very clear, concise and straight to the point/punch line,
It took the best from I Hope This Helps and gave it it's own space, It feels more neet, that there is something connecting all the comics,
So, if you are trying to decide which Tommy Siegel book to get, I would recommend Candy Hearts, But! I have to say that it only shows a part of his cartoon style, Though, in my opinion, the best, Which means that if you like this still does not mean you will like all of his other work or the other way around.
This is more of a sample, Loved the idea with the inner monologues as the text on the candy hearts,
Some of the cartoons were snortfunny, some made me smile, some were meh, but the overal was a nice quarantine distraction.
I received a copy for review through Netgalley, opinions are entirely my own, A quick read, some of it was funny and relatable I received a free eCopy of this book from NetGalley, All opinions in this review are my own,
This was a much much more enjoyable book than I Hope This Helps:Days of Comics and Extremely Helpful Guides by this same author.
This one was pretty witty and did get a chuckle out of me in a few instances, The jokes were much better this time around as well, The art style is still pretty good! I'd like to see more of this from this author in the future!
Candy Hearts by Tommy Siegel is a humorous, tongue in cheek look at modern relationships through the anonymity of faceless cartoon candy hearts.
This is a quirky and unique take on the universality of our thoughts during social discourse, and there is something relatable here for everyone.
The book is a lighthearted look at the struggles we all face while trying to make that deep human connection that is often so elusive.
Recommended.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance to read this ARC, I've been seeking some comedy in my life lately, and this book was exactly what the doctor ordered,
Candy Hearts by Tommy Siegel is an absolutely hilarious sets of comics featuring conversation hearts that have their thoughts written on them.
It's insanely funny and had me chuckling and smirking as I read it, The comics are brutally honest and real like one heart talking about himself and the other guy half listening but instead thinking about what he's gonna say himself.
I seriously loved it! It's hard to find a good comedy book that makes me enjoy it the entire time, but this was it!
I highly recommend this book.
If you want something fun, easy to read and completely sassy and sarcastic, this book works, If you just want to read a few little pages at a time, do it, If you want to binge the whole thing, you can! This isn't a book that you need to be glued to, but it's well worth every penny.
Five out of five,
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
Candy Hearts is a collection of short comics, usually just one panel, of candy heart in very human situations, I've seen a few of them online and was curious to read a full book of them,
The comics are quite fun and mostly relatable, Unlike the author's debut "I hope this helps", this title focuses on a much more simplistic setting of the jokes and good tothepoint punchlines.
I enjoyed that a lot,
The art style suited the jokes very well, and also who doesn't love "candyhearts with random writing on them" jokes
I definitely enjoyed this one and recommend it.
Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.
Candy Hearts is a collection of funny, relatable insights into how our inner thoughts and feelings are often at odds with our outward actions and behaviours.
While these kinds of insights are commonplace in many other comic strips, the novelty of this series is that this internal monologue, typically expressed in this medium with thought bubbles or clouds, is instead emblazoned across the bodies of the candy heart characters.
This gimmick is as clever as it is simple and succeeds at making Candy Hearts stand out from its multitude of peers.
While I was consistently chuckling over the course of this quick and easy read I cannot recall a total dud in the entire collection only a handful of strips made me laugh out loud.
I do
not think this is due to a shortage of clever ideas or poor execution on Siegel's part, but instead the lack of setup or buildup that this type of joke format allows.
If Siegel continues this series, I hope he can explore more intricate or longerform ideas to help take the humour to that next level.
I would recommend this comic to fans of edgy relationship humour looking for something a little different, I can easily see myself revisiting this collection many times over or diving back into the Candy Hearts universe with hopefully future additions to the series!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review Valentine's Day is sneaking up on us again.
This year, why waste money on flowers that are only going to wilt, or candy that will, . . well, okay candy is fine, BUT instead of throwing your money away on a greeting card filled with sentimental hogwash, why not give this book of comics featuring candy hearts that tell it like it is.
. .
Your sweetie will either thank you for your brutal honesty, OR it's the last Valentine's Day that will cost you a dime.
It's really just winwin with this collection of comics,
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a glimpse at this heartwarming book, Exceptionally funny. Very cute gimmick for this comic collection putting those chalky yet tempting valentines candy hearts as standins for people in romantic situations and making the candy hearts' pithy slogans wryly reflect the situation at hand.
For example, one candy heart is giving a present to the other and the words on the giver read "For My Love Blossom, the Perfect Gift," while the receiver's hear reads "Wait, Do They Think We Are Exclusive.
"
More hits than misses, especially when the comics turn to love in the time of COVID, A diverting collection.
Thanks to the artist, publisher, and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review, Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review,
I was reading this during class while I had nothing to listen to and do however that was a bad idea because I kept laughing out loud because this was simply just so funny! I didn't read too much into this comic and went into this comic with no expectations.
I ended up absolutely loving this!
It was so funny how you absolutely needed no backstory or context in order to know what the comic was on about and all the different scenarios shown, I thought it was so funny and I could relate to many of them which is always a good thing.
I also loved the art, it's simple but yet so extravagant and fun to look at, Especially the legs to me looked hilarious,
I definitely recommend this one, I was instantly pulled in by the cover and this didn't disappoint, I would have to point out that it requires a certain sense of humor, some people might find it vulgar or not that funny, but it's mainly about relationships and the internal struggles in first dates, online dating, or even in longtime committed relationships.
It was fun and I finished it in less than an hour,
I thank Netgalley for the digital ARC, I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
Candy Hearts is a funny and very relatable comic strip book, I've never come across Tommy Siegel's work before so this was an absolute delight to read,
The pictures are funny and show many truths behind the start of relationships, dating and marriage,
This book drew me in by the cover and I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to read and review this book! I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Andrews McMeel Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
What a brilliant collection! I must admit, I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I requested it, The art looked cute but the humour seemed like it had the potential to be a bit basic, Not at all! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and enjoyability of the humour in this collection, I genuinely really loved it and it's the kind of thing I would want my friends to read, It's very bingeable and the kind of comic you pick up and reread again and again, I strongly recommend it! The candy hearts are referring to the inner monologue of ourselves, I liked the candy hearts cartoon as it is simple yet cute, but I could not relate much to the monologue,
Thank you, Netgalley, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review,
Publication Date:FebThank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was just absolutely hilarious! Captures the ups and downs of relationships but with candy hearts! And I loved how it tied in with the COVID pandemic.
A series of one panel comics centering on relationships using conversation hearts to tell inner thoughts, They are often quite wry and biting, It's a quick, humorous read,
Received a review copy from Andrew McMeel Publishing and NetGalley, All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned, Note: I received an advanced reader copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley,
It's a pretty simple comic model that Tommy Siegel has created anthropomorphized candy hearts set in some kind of very familiar relationship scenario, with their true feelings written loud and clearly on their bodies.
It's literally nothing but this from start to end in this collection, and if you think that it would get old, you'd be justified with that rational assumption.
You would also be incorrect,
Granted, I say this as a millennial who has had a decent share of dates and relationships so, in other words, I probably couldn't be more in the target audience.
Which is why these comics continued to hit again and again and again with a severe relatability that had me wincing in remembrance while making me burst out laughing with both delight and a sense of relief.
Siegel once again reveals himself to be one of the comic greats when it comes to calling out the many absurdities that make up our presentday reality.
