Taylor Morris (Goodreads Author)
It all started three days after I officially became a woman -- the message of mass destruction arrived. It was February 14, to be exact. Happy Valentine's Day.
Sara Thurman has never considered herself part of the popular crowd - she's got her best friend Arlene and that seems like enough. But when Sara's mom sends a special Valentine's Day delivery (PERIOD FLOWERS!) to her...more

All that Sara Thurman wants is to be popular. Unfortunately for her, disaster after disaster (or as disastrous as middle school can get) comes her way. Sara keeps on getting publicly humiliated, which doesn’t help her goal at all, or so she thinks.
It all starts when she “becomes a woman.” Sara’s mom finds this out and sends Sara flowers. Unfortunately, the flowers reach the wrong destination, Sara’s middle school to be exact, and everyone finds out about Sara’s secret. Sara puts all the blame on...more

Sarah Thurman has been living a regular and normal life ever since forever until her period comes 3 days before Valentine's day. Her mom is very happy and decides to send her flowers to congrat her for her first time having her period. Soon the whole school knows about her period but at the end she learns the true meaning of puberty and learns to accept it.
What an absolutely delightful story! I found myself eagerly turning the pages to find out what would happen to poor Sara Thurman next. I loved the descriptiveness of the emotions and situations, it really brought the characters to life for me. I also enjoyed that there was a bit of mystery and surprise mingled in the story line as well.
I must confess that I found myself really irritated with Sara many times throughout the story, but that made the ending that much better! Great story with a reall...more

alright. it just shows how a girl struggles through out highschool and later finds out who her true friends are and who arent
For being a girl-book, not that there's anything wrong with that, I liked it a lot. The story is not as shallow as it sounds.

I thought at first it was really bad but then it got really good as it went
It had good adjectives, but the story itself was pretty boring.

i LOve THIS BOOK! it is such a god book its about a girl that wants to be class favorite (most popular)at her school but she does not think that she can pull it off b/c shes never even talked to any of the popular boys or girls at her school. i really advise that you read this book if you're a gurl through the ages of 9-16. but its a pretty girly book so if you don't like that kind of stuff than i wouldn't read it.
Sara must deal with a lot of issues, including everybody finding out that she got her period after her mom sends her flowers, her crush having no idea who she is, and her dad leaving home, so Sara decides to become popular to make her life easier.
I probably would have enjoyed this as a 6/7th grader.
