Review: Sad Nuggie: Life is Sweet and Sour

Sad Nuggie Life is Sweet and Sour by Anastasia Sevastyanova, nugget looking sad at his ice cream that fell on the groundI received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Before I begin, sorry Sad Nuggie, but despite having had lunch just now, I was definitely getting hungry seeing you all your friends. I just love chicken nuggets.

In this adorable, and sometimes a bit too sad for me but that is due to my mental health at the moment not being the best, comic we learn about a nugget named Sad Nuggie. Sad Nuggie is starting a new life at a new city and well, Sad Nuggie always had problems with their mental health as we can see throughout the book but things are getting more and more with all the new stuff and new things he is trying out. I loved that despite SN feeling so anxious, sad, depressed at times he did went out to do new things, get groceries, meet up with friends, and other things. There are days that he just cannot do anything (and I can relate) but I love that it isn’t always. I was definitely rooting for this little guy and hoping that his mental health would have more and more happy days. Make Sad Nuggie Happy Nuggie! I am also happy that Sad Nuggie has a therapist who is there for him.

I loved how each chapter is about different things. From settling in his new place to finding a job to the weekend and others.

I want to go to that wax museum as well and get those souvenirs, they were so cute!

The art was fun, however I am not sure if I liked that Sad Nuggie always had tears in their eyes. It made it really hard for me to see if he was happy or sad. Some moments were obvious but others I was like is he crying again? Is he sad? I guess it is part of the brand/character but for me it would just have worked better if when he smiled he would lose those tears.

All in all, I did like this one. It may not always have been the easiest read because it hit close home, but I am happy I got the chance to try it!

Star rating, 3.5 stars
