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.

  I just had my wash day this morning so it felt fitting to read , seeing an illustration of the step by step process is just as long as going through it lmao. Very sweet and short , only reason this isn't a 5☆ for me is because nobody called out Cookie for that crystal mess 🙄 trying to dissuade someone from taking the medication they need and offering a CRYSTAL in exchange woulda had me heated .

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

A great read, sometimes fun, sometimes emotional, and constantly celebrating Black women, their hair, and their friendships with each other. The part with Cookie and her grandma made me cry in the best way.
