Blood Moon

Frankie, who loves physics and astronomy, has a first sexual encounter with Benjamin after school and then gets her period. A graphic meme about the private moment rapidly spreads online, changing an affectionate afternoon into a source of humiliation and harm. The novel in verse follows the fallout as Frankie’s friendship with Harriet turns cruel and Benjamin is the only person who knows what happened. Menstruation, sexual curiosity, shame, and online shaming shape the story.
