Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake
5.0

Woah.

Mara and her twin brother, Owen, have always been close. So when Owen's girlfriend Hannah, one of Mara's best friends, says that Owen raped her, Mara doesn't know who to believe. She loves Hannah, but she doesn't want to believe her, because Owen is family, her other half. In this uncompromising, raw, and incredibly powerful novel, nothing is black and white—except when it is.

I'm so glad that this story exists to shine a light on such a fraught, difficult topic. It made me cry and I think you should read it.
