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. 🥰

This book is very popular with my 5th grade students at a boys' school. It is not inclusive of all menstruating people (just talks about these products in girls bathrooms and makes it sound as though anyone who might need the products but doesn't use the girls bathrooms doesn't exist).

A tale of friendship meets a feminist masterpiece. I am actually surprised with just how much I enjoyed this. I went into it thinking, 'I'll probably like it' and that'd be that. But wow.
First of all, the fact that the story is so much more than the main plot is the best thing ever. It kind of shows that just because you have your period you don't have to put a pause on life. And with every challenge that each girl faced, her best friends were there to back her up in one way or another.
This is obviously such a great read for learning about period positivity - it does it in such an easy and accessible way. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone wondering how to talk to kids/friends/students about menstruation, but I'd also recommend it just a solidly heartwarming read.
