Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

Story
Caroline Parker knows three things to be true. First, she is going to be Boston's most sought-after divorce attorney by 35. Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that. When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she's ever seen, she's also straight.

Story
After a disastrous blind date, Darcy Lowell is desperate to stop her well-meaning brother from playing matchmaker ever again. Love—and the inevitable heartbreak—is the last thing she wants. So she fibs and says her latest setup was a success. Darcy doesn't expect her lie to bite her in the ass. Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account, Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate. But she knows it is most assuredly not Darcy... a no-nonsense stick-in-the-mud, who is way too analytical, punctual, and skeptical for someone as free-spirited as Elle.

A must read
Beautifully and whimsically at times in prose but a very relevant and real story that everyone should read

Angsty
What if you loved your twin brother more than all the stars in the sky? What if that brother did something unforgivable? What if your brother raped his girlfriend?
Mara doesn’t want to believe Owen raped Hannah, one of her best friends, but she knows in her heart he did. Her feminist mother, once championed survivors, now tells Mara to stand behind Owen and dismiss Hannah. Mara has secrets she’s never told anyone. The bullying and slut shaming Hannah experiences reinforces Mara’s resolve to never tell anyone what happened to her.
Mara is such a complex character. She misses her BFF and ex girlfriend Charlie and also exploring a relationship with Alex, a close friend of Owen. I easily envisioned a family like hers, pro-victim until the golden child is the perp. The pressure Mara’s parents put on her felt as realistic as it was frustrating.
The words Ashley Herring Blake writes are so beautiful they practically dance off the pages (kindle screen). She gave Mara a voice filled with pain, determination and strength, haunting and memorable.
GIRL MADE OF STARS is filled with diversity where that diversity is just part of the characters’ complexity, not the entire story. Sexual orientation and Charlie’s gender expression are a strong component of Mara’s relationship with both Charlie and Alex.
The importance of GIRL MADE OF STARS struck me throughout the book from microaggressions to overt slut-shaming to misogyny. In one instance Mara is suspended for 2 days, one for a too-short skirt and the other for behaving in an unladylike manner.
I don’t need endings to wrap novels in a pretty bow, but I would have liked to know the disposition of one subplot (saying more would be a spoiler). The pace of the story could have been faster. I paused reading several times without the feeling I wanted to continue ASAP. Despite GIRL MADE OF STARS hitting all the right buttons, I didn’t feel the emotional connection I mostly do with stories about the aftermath of rape.
GIRL MADE OF STARS captured the pulse of society’s #MeToo movement and the realities of life without perfect resolutions and full justice for survivors of sexual violence.
