PERIODS, SEX AND ONLINE SHAMING. AN EXTRAORDINARY VERSE NOVEL FROM A BOLD NEW VOICE IN FICTION.
During Frankie’s first sexual experience with lovely Benjamin, she gets her period. It’s only blood, they agree. No shame.
Then a graphic meme goes viral, turning their fun, intimate afternoon into something mortifying and damaging. And Frankie begins to wonder: is she disgusting?
As the online shaming takes on a horrifying life of its own, her universe implodes. But can laughter, bravery and the fiercest of friends help Frankie find her way out of the darkness?
MY THOUGHTS
I’ve now read a couple of books told in verse and have enjoyed them all and this was no exception. The plot was an interesting one that I thought was good and something that shouldn’t be so taboo as over half the population of the world goes through it some worse than others it’s not enjoyable but it’s something we put up with. I felt so sorry for the main character but things came good in the end with her family and friends supporting her. This is a book I would definitely recommend to teenagers to read.
