![]() ![]() ![]() I also loved the way the writer handles Tahlia’s and Lily’s friendship. It’s a rollercoaster of a ride made even more stressful by the fact that she doesn’t trust any adults besides her mother to bring the news of her period to them. This is such a funny book - and yet, my heart went out to Tahlia through all the awkwardness she experiences. Unbeknownst to her, life has a couple of other changes in store for Tahlia. With only Lily on her side, Tahlia has to figure out how to buy pads and tampons, use a tampon, avoid toxic shock syndrome, and make it to the pool party. It’s more stressful because her mother is out of town leaving her with her dad and two older brothers whom she can’t stand to tell about her period. This year, she’s ready to correct her mistakes and make a statement with her best friend Lily. The year before, she’d dressed in what she now realizes was a childish outfit (wearing a rashguard and shorts) while everyone else wore fancy swimsuits. ![]() In Grow Up, Tahlia Wilkins, young Tahlia is excited to redeem herself at the end of school summer party hosted by the popular kid, Noah. ![]()
