This was cute. I liked the art style.
Only thing that I felt was a weird take was

when Cookie dismissed the idea of taking anti depressants and suggested crystals instead… it was framed in the story as Cookie not understanding the situation and being unhelpful, but then it just kinda ends there. Cookie does help out in the end, but I just found that one chapter a bit weird the way it was never really resolved. Would’ve preferred if we got to see her learn why that wasn’t a helpful response.

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!

I've been meaning to read this for a long time. I love graphic novels and as a Bronxites, I always support my people. I impulsely borrowed ebook from Libby and read in one sitting. Loved it so much. Super relatable as a New Yorker and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the women's touching friendship. I couldn't stop smiling at the end. 🥰

This was awesome, tho the lack of addressing how Cookie was anti-medication was jarring. it's implied Davene gets on them anyways but it's strange she doesn't have a candid convo with her friends about it.
