The first graphic novel about periods that I found before Callin’s soon to be released New Girl. This was a super speedy read, maybe because there wasn’t much to take in with each panel. Each character had a story line but they were surface level. It’s good to read and talk about periods.

I love a good story about young people rebelling for a good cause. These teenage girls see something going on that's wrong and decide to make a change. Righteous.
Also, we need more books like this, that talk about menstruation in a way that will certainly help spark conversations and hopefully help normalize something that IS totally normal.

Excellent book about high school feminism and the sometimes misery that comes with bleeding each month. This should be on every YA shelf at the library.

A wonderful, beautiful, important, relevant graphic novel which is centered around menstruation, an often taboo subject. It is both approachable and grounded, and the author and illustrator have created a story that covers not only what it’s like to be a teenage girl but also manages to be utterly inclusive and diverse in equal and perfect measure.
This book has the potential to become one of “those” books - one of the ones that *every* girl reads as a right of passage and boys read in order to understand girls.

I’m a sucker for monochromatic graphic novels.
This was a quick, cute read. I loved how the book addressed all the nuances of menstruation. It showed how activism for periods is a mixed bag, and the stigma behind it.
It was a bit shallow in story, but it’s meant to be more thought-provoking than anything.
I’m going to definitely keep an eye out for Williams’ and Scheemann’s work in the future.
