Wash Day Diaries is a beautiful slice of life graphic novel following a group of best friends as they navigate life in the Bronx, also allowing a glimpse at each of their various hair care routines.

Each chapter chronicled in a vignette style, followed a different friend within this group of 4. The color palette per POV seemed perfectly suited for our leading ladies and not only held strong in each chapter, but followed them throughout the story itself.

Kim is an artist, with a creative soul that shone through with lilac's and subtle pinks. Nisha's chapter was full of pink and yellow hues, to showcase her amorous heart. Davene was expressed with darker purples, setting the somber tone of living with mental health struggles. Cookie's pov was painted in yellows, pinks & greens, allowing her vibrant, bubbly personality to come off the page.

With lots of heart and humor woven into these pages, I appreciated how this upbeat graphic novel didn't shy away from difficult topics. You'll find discussions on depression, unwanted advances from men (then quickly followed by an insult when denied), working towards healing family trauma, and toxic exes.

I absolutely love a strong female friendship and this story delivered! You can so clearly see how much each of these women loved and cared for each other by being supportive besties we all hope to have in our own lives. 

Wash Day Diaries is an absolutely stunning, lovely graphic novel that truly deserves all the praise!!!
