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.

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.

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.

There is some non-sexual nudity (except for one panel that is sexual, but you don’t really see anything)

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!

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.
