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!

A stunningly illustrated graphic novel about black hair, friendship, and much more. I admired the excellently drawn panels especially the conversations that happen via text to the bedrooms that show off their personalities.
