It’s a wholesome comic about being black women

Okay first off I love this! The friendship dynamic and the hair care routines tide in with each of the different stories bringing them all together. Really enjoyed the character designs and the colors of the art although I did feel like the line work was messy and distracting especially in the beginning of the book. Fortunately the colors and the overall story kept me engaged and helped me to really enjoy the book.

I WOULD love to see more with these characters!

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.

This graphic novel about 4 women of color was amazing. It shows that we can easily not just add but create a whole story based off of diversity. I'm
glad I picked this up at the library.

this was such a good read; I absolutely loved it!! The artwork and illustrations were gorgeous. Their friendship was really sweet and seeing how all they cared for each other. The graphic novel does a great job of keeping you immersed in the storyline and connected with the characters, especially considering that it’s on the shorter side.
