Wash Day Diaries is a beautiful book. It's visually stunning, dynamic, and evocative, and a glowing tribute to ride-or-die female friendship. This is something special, and I hope to see much more from these characters! I will be recommending to friends and library patrons far and wide. This is just the most wholesome and wonderful graphic novel I have read in a long time. It is a slice of life of four friends. They each get their own chapter where they are the focus. I would have read a hundred books about them without even a second thought.

Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith follow Toni Morrison’s belief that, “if there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” The award-winning writer-artist duo embody this by creating the stories they want to see and read within comic books.

This graphic novel was so cute! I love seeing so many parts of the story being told through texting the tea in the group chat, and I love seeing a tight-knit friend group that would do anything to help and protect each other. The art is fantastic, and the depiction of the importance of their hair is really well done, showing different styles, but also how it connects them to each other. So many funny and true to life moments. I screamed when Davene pulled that Jamaican flag out of her bra! I really enjoyed this graphic novel! I think the art style and color scheme complements the story well.

I felt as though I was given quite a bit that I could relate with, but wished that it could have been explored even more. Possibly we might see more into her headspace in the next book if this does become a series (which would be amazing)... I'm unsure.
