Go with the Flow by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann, 336 pagesHigh school sophomore Sasha is the new girl at school and hasn't really even made friends yet when she gets her period for the first time in horribly embarrassing fashion. Luckily, fellow sophomores Abby, Brit, and Christine are there and happy to help her out, starting a fast friendship and a fight to get free menstrual products in the school's bathrooms.
Periods are part of life for half the population and they should be talked about, and not in just hushed whispers in bathrooms. This book is about that, but more than anything, it’s about friendship. I'd recommend this to anyone who menstruates, or cares about someone who has or will ever have a period. I'd also recommend it to those who haven't yet reached that point, but will soon find themselves seeking pads and tampons from the stranger in the stall next door.
