Interpretation As Books Girl Made of Stars
"I need Owen to explain this. Because yes, I do know that Owen would never do that, but I also know Hannah would never lie about something like that." Mara and Owen are about as close as twins can get. So when Mara's friend Hannah accuses Owen of rape, Mara doesn't know what to think. Can the brother she loves really be guilty of such a violent crime? Torn between the family she loves and her own sense of right and wrong, Mara is feeling lost, and it doesn't help that things have been strained with her ex-girlfriend and best friend since childhood, Charlie. As Mara, Hannah, and Charlie navigate this new terrain, Mara must face a trauma from her own past and decide where Charlie fits in her future. With sensitivity and openness, this timely novel confronts the difficult questions surrounding consent, victim blaming, and sexual assault.Itemize Books Toward Girl Made of Stars

5/5 Stars. WOW. I cannot believe how much this book touched me. I was expecting to love it but I dont think I could have possibly anticipated the depth and intensity of this story. Heart-breaking and gut-wrenching an absolute must read.CW: rape/sexual assaultI am dead inside. .Buddy read with my Maggie.
Me, thinking about this book at any moment in my life: Even girls made of stars are captives, bound at the wrists and traded like property. Even girls made of stars arent asked, arent believed, arent considered worth the effort unless they can offer something in return.Even girls made of stars buy into those lies sometimes. This book destroyed me. This book destroyed me and it destroyed the chances of all other books this year because I have no doubt that this will be one of my favorite books of

this was so beautifully written and the cover is so beautiful and the message should be heard by everyone. though i kinda didn't like how Mara kept comparing her similar situation to Hannah's current one, when hers happened three years ago and she never told anyone. she kept talking about her own issues and it got a little annoying. i felt like she should've been a better friend to Hannah and more understanding to Owen. i felt like she was really wrapped up with her problems with Charlie (why
4.5 Poignant, Emotional & Thought-Provoking Stars for Girl Made of Stars! This book was beautifully written. Rape, abuse, and sexuality are not easy topics. Blake did an amazing job of telling this all too important story. It was told with hope, love and healing. It doesn't sugar coat life after abuse. Yet, it was powerful in its message that victims are worth the telling. That despite a culture that often places blame on the victim they are worth believing. That there are people who will
I cant think about Owen. I cant attach his name to Hannah on a hospital bed, bandages on her wrist, tears on her lovely face. 4 1/2 stars. I cried.Girl Made of Stars is about a situation that for the vast majority of us is not only horrifying, but unimaginable. For other feminists like me, our default is to offer compassion to rape survivors. To offer belief. To unite against the rapist. But... imagine if the alleged rapist was your closest friend, your anchor, the one person you've always been
I'm glad this book exists, this topic is so important.
