Beautiful, wonderful, stunning, gorgeous.
This was a spectacular graphic novel in both words and ilustrations. I loved that the different stories featured color palettes to reflect the mood/nature of the story being told. As someone who does not have textured hair requiring much care, I was fascinated by the intensive process to just wash hair, let alone styling or braiding it.

Following the lives of four best friends in the Bronx, each chapter unfolds like a heartfelt conversation among sisters. The authors skillfully weave together themes of friendship, self-care, and the beauty of Black hair rituals, offering a refreshing perspective on everyday experiences. From navigating mental health challenges to exploring career aspirations and family dynamics, the graphic novel delves into topics that resonate deeply. Through diverse characters and dynamic storytelling, ๐ช๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฆ celebrates the resilience and joy of Black women. Rowser and Smith's collaboration is a triumph of representation and storytelling, capturing the essence of sisterhood with authenticity and grace. I found myself immersed in the lives of these characters, rooting for their triumphs and sharing in their laughter and tears. ๐ช๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฆ is a must-read for anyone seeking a slice of life narrative filled with warmth, humor, and profound insights into the human experience.

I love graphic novels and loved this one that had characters that looked like me and my own friends. The stories were relatable and I felt like I was one of the girls.

Beautiful illustration and colors! I love how easy it is to follow and how visual and visually appealing everything is. I think itโs too short, though! Iโm too invested in these girls to only get that!
