I enjoyed this!! Loved seeing the beauty and hardships involving Black girl friendships. I did feel like this was a bit too short…I would’ve loved to see a bit more development for each of the characters; each chapter on each character felt really brief. But still enjoyed this all the same.

Wash Day Diaries offers a glimpse into the main characters lives as they navigate their day. It was a quick, light read that celebrated their joy and connections to each other. 

There was a character who mentioned mental health struggles, and their friend basically said “just take this crystal, it will help.” They didn’t talk about it again on page after that, which felt was unsatisfactory.

oh, how SEEN this book made me feel. i've been really going through it as of late so this quick story about what's basically the loving girl gang of my dreams felt like a mug of hot cocoa for my spirit. i saw myself in each of these wonderful characters (who i hope we see again in another book or even just a webcomic, please please please) and it was so therapeutic to let myself cry when some emotional scenes literally had me like "she's just like me for real". truly loved this book
