This is such a great graphic novel working against the stigma that surrounds periods. There's a great group of friends at the core of the story, working together and supporting each other. The artwork was also fantastic, and this story could inspire other teen girls to stand up for what they think is right.

At one point, one of the girls (Abby) goes rogue and does something without her friends' permission. I think the way this was handled in the book was effective, as they had conversations about why they were wrong and what they needed to do to move forward. All in all, this is a positive graphic novel that is a great addition to any collection.
