Nice book to give to that special someone in your life that makes you a whole person. I think sometimes it is the little things that make you feel special; little gifts that just say 'I am thinking about us' that show your special someone that you care. This would be a great 'I'm sorry' book to give after a really bad fight.

কেউ যখন জীবনে এসে জুড়ে বসে, তখন জীবনের অনেকটা অংশই যেন দখল করে নেয়। অনেক কিছু পালটে যায়।
কিন্তু সব সম্পর্ক একটা Expiration date নিয়ে আসে। মৃত্যুর মতই এই তিক্ত দিনটা কবে এসে পড়বে কেউ জানি না।
হঠাৎ দেখা যাবে যাকে নিয়ে ভবিষ্যতের স্বপ্ন বুনে গেছেন সে অতীত স্মৃতি হয়ে গেছে।এ অবস্থা আবার স্বাভাবিক জীবনে ফিরে যেতে বেশ বেগ পেতে হয়।

বইটাতে অবশ্য প্রিয়জন হারানো নিয়ে নয়। দুটো মানুষ একে অপরকে তীব্রভাবে ভালোবাসছে। একে অন্যকে ছাড়া বেচে থাকাও তাদের কাছে অকল্পনীয়। সদা হারানোর ভয় আতংকিত করে তুলছে তাদের। এই ভয়টাকে ছন্দে আর ড্রয়িং এর মাধ্যমে ফুটিয়ে তোলা হয়েছে এই ছোট্ট ,মিষ্টি আর কিউট বইটাতে।

প্রেমিক প্রেমিকাদের খুশি করার জন্য বইতে প্রচুর মুখরোচক কথাবার্তা তথা পাঞ্চলাইন আছে। আমার জন্য কিছু নাই।

Hahaha so cute and funny book about how it feels like to be without your other half and missing this person so much (i'm quoting my favs here)
Me without you feels like :
Kung without fu
Much without ado
Kanga without roo
How without do you do
Choochie without coo
Sneeze without achoo
A knot i cant undo
Me without you?
What would i do?
Boo
Phew!

Ada sebuah kalimat: "Aku tanpamu bagaikan ..."

Buatlah segala macam pengandaian yang cocok dengan kalimat belum lengkap di atas. Sebanyak-banyaknya. Eh, jangan, sekitar 30 buah saja.

Lalu, cobalah buat sketsa sederhana (maksudku sederhana adalah amat-sangat sederhana) untuk menggambarkan setiap pengandaian yang sudah dibuat.

Sudah?

Kalau sudah, kirimkan naskah kumpulan pengandaian nan romantis yang kamu buat itu kepada penerbit. Kamu yakin naskahmu akan diterima? Tentu saja tidak! Jadi, tetap berusahalah!

Nah, sayangnya, apa yang kamu buat akan sia-sia karena sudah ada buku ini. Tak apalah, kamu jadi tak perlu repot kan?

Carilah buku ini di toko buku. Luangkan waktu sekitar 5 menit atau mungkin kurang dari itu lalu mulailah membaca.

Sudah selesai?

Sekarang pikirkan. Apakah kamu memiliki pasangan atau calon pasangan atau orang-yang-benar-benar-kamu-butuhkan-sehingga-bila-dia-tiada-kamu-akan-menghabiskan-air-matamu-untuknya yang cocok dengan semua pengandaian dalam buku ini?

Ada? Bawalah buku ini ke kasir dan berikan ke dia. Berharaplah buku ini akan mempererat hubunganmu dengannya. Semoga.

Tidak ada? Pulanglah.

Kamu membuang waktumu. Untung saja hanya menghabiskan waktu sedikit. Tak perlu terlalu menyesal deh.

How adorable and cuteee!!! 🥹
I couldn't help but think about my lovely mom, I just want to quote and tell her:

"Me without You
is like...
Peak without view
Detective without a clue
How without Do-You-Do?
A knot i can't undo
Me without You!? What would i do? "

And definitely would love to read it for my future child to express my love. ❤️

Swerling is definitely my second most favorite female comic artist.

I remember, when I went out on my first foreign trip, I bought two of their comics as gifts for my sister and a best friend. It’s very usual for me to buy their books to gift others.

“Me without you” is another adorably cute and cool comic by Lisa Swerling & Ralph Lazar, which would make a great gift for your friends or partner. (I'm keeping this one for myself.)

This is a cute collection of illustrations of scenarios that are incomplete without two. For example:
Me without you is like....
Sky without blue
Foot without shoe
etc.

While I like the sentiment and the illustrations, cannot see myself dipping into it again.

This is a cute fast book. It reminds me of the books that Hallmark sells. It's one of those books that you read once and never read it again.

Pretty cute little gift book. Some of the rhymes work better than others (kung without foo is cute, but hard to illustrate!), but overall a sweet idea.

I love this beautifully illustrated wee book. When I miss my girlfriend, I look at the book ( everyday) " hair without do" or " biker without tattoo"

Buku tercepat yang kubaca.

Suka karena susunan katanya yang berima. Manis juga pilihan kata terjemahannya. Jadi penasaran dengan versi bahasa Inggrisnya, meskipun ada sih beberapa yang bisa ditebak kalimat aslinya.

Cheesy. But works if you are loaded with anxiety and need some distraction.
