interaction between mass and gravitational wave, no energy is absorbed (unlike in case of EM waves)?
but there are different forms of "interactions". and one of them is predicted to take energy away from the GW: meeting up with oscillation of light.
when GW pass by a star and the two waves meet - and IF the frequencies are favorable to react in such a way:

the light of the star should appear to brighten.
