The latest in the bestselling A Quick & Easy Guide series by cartoonist Mariah-Rose Marie (Cook Like Your Ancestors, Be Gay Do Comics) is tackling relationships next with A QUICK & EASY GUIDE TO HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. Arriving in December at the latter end of this year, this special take that’s set in the multicultural neighborhood of Sun Heights offers an expansive and heartfelt guide to navigating one of life’s biggest quandaries: in finding the positive patterns in friendships, romances, families, work relationships, and communities! Because relationships are hard. Especially while taking care of your own heart and mind in the process.
The comic will host tips for having difficult conversations, advice on setting boundaries, and host resources for strengthening bonds. It intends to work as a guide to help foster better relationships and is illustrated rather beautifully in a very point-getting-across fashion. You can check out these pages below.
“A Quick & Easy Guide To Healthy Relationships takes place on a romp through the fictional multicultural neighborhood of Sun Heights where – like in all communities – everybody is going through something,” said Mariah-Rose Marie. “It’s full of relatable little stories of drama, humor, heartbreak, and healing, with a feel somewhere between Richard Scarry’s Busy Busy Town and MTV’s “Downtown”. People of all ages and upbringings will be able to finish this book with insight on how to be more thoughtful and caring with ourselves, and therefore, with those around us too. It feels like the perfect moment to be sharing this book, and I can’t wait for folks to have it in their hands!”
A Quick & Easy Guide To Healthy Relationships will be on store shelves on December 2, 2025.
