1. The art style. It looked sketch-y and the colour palette was divine - a mix of pinks, purples, blues, and yellows to represent the four MCs. I loved how expressive and gorgeous the illustrations looked.
2. The friendship between the four women was so natural and beautiful. Their connection was palpable and you could just SEE the love they had for one another.
3. It drove home the point that Black hair is not just a look, but an entire culture that white people like myself can never fully understand the significance of and therefore should not participate in. This book showed me many aspects of Black hair culture (although I am sure there are many more that it did not have the space to cover). It's having a whole day booked out to care for and style your hair; it's the music you listen to while doing it; it's the friends you talk to and the family you connect with. It's the style you choose and why you choose it. It's doing it yourself, having a friend or family member do it, or going to a salon. It's community.
In short, I LOVED this book and you should read it ASAP x
