It has been a while since I have read a book in under 24 hours, but I just simply couldn’t put this book down or take my mind off it when I had to engage in other activities (e.g. sleeping eating and, ironically, changing my tampon).

Simply put if you have periods, read this book. If you don’t have periods, also, read this book.

It is an enlightening, fact ensuing and anecdotally charming report on how periods affect people’s lives covering the tampon tax, period poverty, endometriosis, period sex, and the history and politics of periods.

A wonderfully easily read that has simply made me fill up with period pride. Read it, now.

Amazing!! Brilliant!! Everyone should read this book! It is truly about bloody time we educate ourselves and others and lift this bloody taboo talking about periods.

For a first book Emma has done an exquisite job with it!! Well bloody done Emma!!

It’s about time we talk about periods freely!!

Can’t recommend this enough!! So bloody well written!!

Picked this book up because I was intrigued, a book about a subject that is barely spoken about. I was a little afraid it would be a little too silly but it ended up being a good balance between informative (I learned some new things), funny anecdotes and actual struggles happening right now concerning periods and the taboo and shame that surrounds them. I liked this book and I actually do feel like now I wouldn’t mind talking about periods and everything that surrounds it anymore. So mission of the author succeeded, let’s not hide anymore.
