Girl Made Of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake
"The best lies are layered between solid truths..." -Mara
"It's a tangled mess of simple facts, a kaleidoscope of right and wrong. The aftermath--that is what is complicated." -Mara
Mara and Owen are twins, they know each other like they are one. But when Hannah, Mara's friend and Owen's girlfriend, accuses Owen of rape, Mara knows that Hannah isn't lying and Owen isn't telling the whole truth.
Mara's parents rally around Owen, as does his classmates. After all, weren't Hannah and Owen dating and didn't they all ready have sex?
Mara tries to make sense of all the dimensions of this act, and by that she finds her voice, her love, and who she can trust.
This would be an excellent book for students navigating dating, students trying to understand their sexuality, students trying to do what is right under difficult circumstances, and lastly students who may be hiding a secret that has changed their life.
Gripping and fast read with some interesting twists.
