Will I love The Society of Shame?

Period books can be fun, and this one is the definition of fun while also pounding in the message that it’s okay to have a period, and we really shouldn’t be ashamed of having them. Sassy and smart, with a quirky cast of characters, it goes down as easy as a beach read.

I found myself cheering for all of the characters and utterly riveted by the plot. Roper leaves you thinking about shame, stigma, and the power of social media without even realizing what you’re thinking.

This is a hilarious, ingenious satire about our crazy internet culture.

I belly-laughed all the way through it. But what makes it a world above a lot of popular funny books is that it is about something. Under the laughs there is a serious depiction of how unthinking we have become in our herd reactions to whatever goes viral. It’s insane. And there is a very real mother/daughter relationship at the core of the novel which gives it soul.
