This was cute overall, but it didn’t feel like a super memorable book for me. I enjoyed the audiobook narration. The roadtrip was fun and the pitfalls along the way felt real.

LOVED this book. A middle grade book normalizing menstruation and puberty. Yes please. The stories were so great and relatable to young people.

I read this with my 6 year old and neither of us really enjoyed it. The poultry references didn’t age well. And the l characters weren’t very memorable.

Wow what an emotional roller coaster. It’s so hard reading about someone’s struggles, especially when an adult inflicts them onto their children. Check content warnings for child abuse.
