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

This was my first graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. The illustrations were BEAUTIFUL! I love how each character had their own colour, but every page was still tied together by the same colour palettes. I especially enjoyed seeing different hair textures being brought to life by their movements, and styling & care processes. The characters were funny, loveable, and relatable. Such a wonderful book, that I’m glad I had the opportunity to read!

TLDR; 5 rating, I hope Davene finds someone who can help her, and Cookie :(((
Content warnings at the bottom. :)
While a super quick read, I think about it a lot still. I am very particular about the kinds of graphic novels, manga, and comic books I read because, much like audiobooks and their narrators, I can’t read books with pictures if I don’t like the art. The art in this one is very good.
Davene’s story resonated the most with me, as someone who has dealt with depression. Cookie didn’t handle that very well, so I hope Davene is able to get the help she needs. I loved the relationships between all the girls, and Cookie’s story is absolutely heartbreaking.
Reading this, especially between The Magnus Archives seasons, was a pleasant reprieve.
Rating: 5
Would I recommend? Yes, especially if you enjoy contemporary fiction, bright colors, and compelling and real stories.

Not only did the author and illustrator do a great job, but so did the editors and colourists. Every chapter has a different colour palette. Different timelines have different illustration styles. Every chapter starts with a wonderful watercolour piece and ends with a cute doodle.
The first four chapters follow each friend & their perspective with the last chapter being group dynamic.
Some heavy topics of mental health and elderly care (see content warnings if necessary).
I really enjoyed the Nisha’s and Davene’s chapters. The panel work of the group chat was well done. The attention to detail was incredible; ALL the steps of hair care and hygiene rituals were shown.
The book had my immediate attention as soon as I saw the keys in the knuckles on page 3.
