It strives so hard to be feminist that it misses the mark completely.

Very funny, enjoyable murder mystery. Characters are written really well and you can picture them as real people. The dialogue is really well done. Not a paticularly realistic murder mystery.

All Kerry wants to do is stay at home with her rom-coms and strict retainer schedule. Instead, her BFF Annie has roped her into going to a party to investigate who’s cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school. On the cusp of kissing her dreamy crush, Scott, Kerry discovers the body of Heather's second in command – suffocated with a menstrual cup. Within days, another student turns up dead, with a sanitary pad across the eyes. Now Annie and Kerry are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.
I did not expect to laugh that much reading this book, but I did! This book is easily in the top funniest books I’ve read this year. I’m glad I jumped in blind, because finding all those menstrual references in relation to the murders was gold!
Kerry’s quips, both internal and outspoken, were hilarious! Annie was definitely the BFF I wouldn’t recommend, because she’d always get you in sticky situations inadvertently. However, she was also loyal and lots of fun. So I guess that balanced the experience a bit better for Kerry (kind of).
The murder mystery itself was impressive! I couldn’t guess the whodunnit, and I didn’t know where the story was going (most likely because I was too busy laughing, so my brain was incapacitated). The audiobook narration was great, I loved the British accent!
What I’m going to say is… go and read the book. Especially when you’re in a slump. Or need cheering up on a hard day. I’m going to hunt down the sequel!

There was more talk about periods, vaginas and sex than there was murder mystery.

This seemed like such a fun book but it wasn’t quite working for me. There was too much focus on the main characters, their quirks and wanting to be popular. I just wasn’t feeling it.
