I knew from the blurb that I am not part of the intended audience for this book. I was pretty sure it would be ridiculous - and it was. In a fun way.  Although some of the informal language used in dialogue and narration made me feel positively ancient, I loved the focus Weston put on the historical shame of menstruation and the casual sexism of some of the older generation.  I felt empowered and am really looking forward to hearing a 15 yo reader's take.  Was it trying too hard to be both funny and political?

Absolutely engrossing, it had me laughing and WTFing outloud. I was not expecting that plot twist whatsoever, and the fact that we also got answers to every conspiracy mentioned. Usually all the books I've encountered that are labeled Rom-com thriller there isn't actual thrill or mystery present, but this has everything. I will be adding this gem to my mystery shelf once it comes out. I recommend it to sleuths like me also would be an amazing read for young adults since it incorporates topics that need to be talked about. I'd like to mention the fact that the author teaches us that no matter how bad or misunderstood the dead person was they didn't deserve that and has her characters avenge them even though they were hurt by them. The popular group isn't as perfect as they seem.
