nicolemillo 's review for:

Period. It's About Bloody Time by Emma Barnett

DID NOT FINISH

---

This was due back to the library so I didn’t finish it, but it was heading for an “OK” review anyway. I was surprised by the occasional (unintentional, I believe) non-inclusive language à la “men don’t get periods and they never will” (pun intended, I’m sure). The brash attitude — as though broaching this subject is super shocking — felt a little weird to me because I am often looking at topics like this about women’s health and rights, but I think it may feel appropriately edgy and risqué to many readers. It was insightful here and there with a few interesting facts sprinkled in, but I’m not sure it will be worth my time to finish it when it becomes available from the library again.

It might not have been the best match for me, but if the topic is new to you and you like a “sassy” writing style, this might be exactly what you’re after.
