Girl Made of Stars

THIS WAS SO GOOD. Many parts made me cry. Many parts made me feel empowered. Many parts hit too close to home. Some parts made me angry - but that's something I liked about the book too. It wasn't black and white. It was complicated and messy, and showed the complexities of people and relationships in the aftermath of sexual violence. The fact that Owen never seems to face any consequences for his actions definitely bothered me. His supposedly über-feminist Mom just continues to love and accept him? I think what Mara tells him at the end is supposed to "punish" him in a way but does it really? As I said, the relationships are complicated, but I wish there was a bit more pushback against him. Still, a great read overall and I would highly recommend.
