Yes
This is the story of four black women who are all best friends.
The story focuses on their lives through the lens of their wash days - the days that they wash their hair or otherwise get their hair ready.
As someone with textured hair, I really loved seeing these women in situations I know only too well. This is the kind of representation I love - showing something that is so normal but using it as a lens for wider conversation
I would have loved for it to be longer or even to have more books in a series (but I understand how much it takes to make a graphic novel)
