A wonderful book told through the story of four girls who recognize the injustice that is forcing those who have periods to have to pay for feminine products. One of the girls attempts to do a big campaign to get her demands noticed, which at first hurts the feelings of her friends. At once a book about undoing the sigma surrounding menstruation but also a book about female friendships.

I really, really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was funny, educational, and well-written. I really enjoyed the art as well. The friendships were realistic, as was the portrayal of high school. This is a book I wish I had growing up, even though I grew up with a mom and sisters who talked about periods. I hope this finds its way into the hands of tweens and teens who need it!

I got my first period when I was in 6th grade and I was mortified by it. I cried so much that I missed the school bus. I know the characters in this book are older than I was, but I wish I'd been in a situation like this, being able to talk about it with friends, like the girls in the story. I'm glad to see books like this because I think it helps young girls to understand their period and not be ashamed by it. I thought the whole aspect of the school providing tampons and pads seemed a little unrealistic, but maybe that's the problem.

Fans of Raina Telgemeier and Jennifer Holm will love this book.
This book centers around the the unjustice of 'Aunt Flo.' There is a main theme of friendship and feminism. And of course the rollercoaster of emotions that goes along with High school.

Most appropriate for Jr. High and above.

An engaging graphic novel for tween and teen girls about periods and how to deal with them. It is also about friendship and growing up.

This is the book I needed in middle school and high school and I’m so excited to have found this title! So many people will benefit from this. Young and old.


The art work was very smooth and streamline, it flowed perfect with the story and portrayed emotions and situations in a way that made me feel them too!

I’m proud of the authors for creating such a monumental and inspiring book!

Thank you #Netgalley for this title!
