2022 bk 53. I loved this collection that showcases the starting strips of this cartoon series. Joe, Marcy, and their daughter, Sunny are a delight to follow as Armstrong shares the joys of moving, home ownership, a new baby, and learning to live with a family. This book brings smiles!

I have always loved comic books, and discovering a comic strip that's new to me, that's sweet and funny, is a Christmas present in July.

This was a wonderful read that had me laughing to tears. If you are looking for a break from everything 2020 and you want to have a lot of great laughs, "JumpStart A Love Story" is the perfect stay-cation! The writing is clever, honest, heartwarming and hilarious. I highly recommend you get a copy!
