Hot Comb by Ebony Flowers

5.0

YOOOOOO. BONNETS OFF TO THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL. I have nothing bad to say about it. The illustration was all black and white, but that showed the artists versatility in playing with the weight of ink and different tones. Especially considering all of the characters in the book were Black. And you were able to tell even though most of their skin weren't painted as such. This was a collection of stories and they were put together so well. Enough personal story about the author and their life, without feeling heavy. And then stories either from people we were never formally introduced to or her imagination. Either way, it was written for any Black person who grew up and had a hot comb brought to their head. It wasn't just a book about hair. But the products we have all lived and died by wove everything together perfectly. SUCH A GREAT READ.
