Girl Made of Stars
by Ashley Herring Blake
Owen and Mara are twins who are always at each other's side and support each other through the good times and even the difficult times. All of this comes to a change though when Hannah is raped by Owen. Watch as Mara tries to figure out so much on her own, such as: how Charlie, her best friend now ex-girlfriend fits into her life, who to believe, her friend, Hannah, or her twin brother, Owen, and if she is going to tell anyone about an incident that took places years ago.
There are so many things that I enjoy in this book and so much that I think was handled carefully and done well. I think that this book has so much going on but rather than district to the main theme is adds to the story. I think the fact that it has so much going on really adds to the complexity of the characters and how difficult life must be for Mara as more things stack on top of each other.
I really enjoy how each theme is handled and how each of the themes intermingles with each other. The main themes of this book are sexual assault, familial ties/alliances, and identity. I think that the topic of sexual assault is one that needs to be handled with delicacy while also having some truths to it and I think this book does just that. I love how you can feel each of the characters emotions and how this story gives you both Owen and Hannah's thoughts and feelings through the whole thing.
