I absolutely LOVED this. Everything from the color palette to the friendships, to the narrative devices (written and illustrated) was exceptional.

Wash Day Diaries follows four friends and the different aspects of their lives, through the lens of their wash days (for their hair). I love the way the authors showcase each woman's life through the context of hair—relationships, mental health, and more. In a very short time we get a really deep look at the friendship these women share, as well as who they are and what they are dealing with.

I love seeing how the women all uplift each other and offer their support, and how their individual stories connect to the larger narrative at play. All the characters are incredible, and I would love to read more about all of them individually and together. (I especially want more of Nisha's story. The way the authors told her story through group text was perfection. Hands down the best execution of texting in a graphic novel that I've seen.)

This is a slice of life story about Black women that is, at its core, about community care and connection.
