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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5 Stars
🥹 this graphic novel is so needed. I’m thrilled books like this exist for girls now. It feels so comforting that conversations are finally being had and that one day periods will be discussed freely.
A lovely story about 4 high school friends, with lots of conversation around periods. Some entry level info such as period products and leaking but also discussion about endo and period poverty. 💪🏻
The characters felt like a hug, the illustrations felt warm and the premise - super simple really. Menstral health is important, it impacts half the population. With so much still yet to be researched, it’s imperative that the info we do have is actively shared. 🥰
