Go With the Flow is a fantastic YA graphic novel. The story is about four friends in their sophomore year of high school. One day, the new girl starts her period in white pants, much to the cruel entertainment of her peers. A few girls take her to the bathroom and they all start a friendship that will take them through challenges and good times. 

As their friendship grows, they share about their own cycles- short, long, heavy, super painful. One of the friends becomes passionate about making hygiene products available for free at school. They are met with resistance, but they persevere. 

This is a really great graphic novel that I wish I had as a teenager. I hope you will consider reading it or giving it to someone young that you care about.
