Girl Made of Stars - Lesbian teen Mara is navigating a difficult breakup with her ex-girlfriend when her twin brother is accused of rape by her friend

Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake

Mara and Owen are as close as twins can get, so when Mara’s friend Hannah accuses Owen of rape, Mara doesn't know what to think. Can her brother really be guilty of such a violent act? Torn between her family and her sense of right and wrong, Mara feels lost, and it doesn’t help that things are strained with her ex-girlfriend, Charlie.

As Mara, Hannah, and Charlie come together in the aftermath of this terrible crime, Mara must face a trauma from her own past and decide where Charlie fits into her future.

This novel deals with consent, victim blaming, and sexual assault, and was included in the ALA's 2019 Rainbow List.

Consent: It's As Simple As Tea

I think this short video, Consent: It's As Simple As Tea is excellent, and should be seen by all. Maybe be every high school and college student in our world. And maybe everyone else who is of the age to be sexually active, too.





Bravo/a to the team involved:

And my thanks to Donna for the heads-up about this.
