4.0

an empowering graphic novel with beautiful illustrations and colour palettes that depicts a close knit group of Black women as well as the individual characters and their struggles in less than 200 pages. i wasn’t expecting to get so attached to these characters given how short the novel is but the author managed to completely hook me from the first page. mental health, friendship, relationships, and self-discovery were all touched upon with care, and i love how hair care was interwoven through all of it. this story has true-to-life portrayals of relationships and the love you can have for each other even through your differences and misunderstandings.
