Short comics surrounding the ups and downs of 4 women. The illustrations are BEAUTIFUL, with a focus on wash day, each short comic has an element of Black hair. I enjoyed the friend group humor, dynamics, diversity, and the different stages of life they were all in. Different stages of life require extra kindness in friendships. I hope to find more graphic novels like this in the near future.
