I’m not going to give this book a star rating because , while there were certainly elements I enjoyed, 
I think the authors severely mishandle the situation of Elliot’s “cheating” (read: his rape). He’s described as being too drunk to know who he slept with and too drunk to even know  what really even happened , but the assault is continuously referred to as a “mistake” and a “misunderstanding” instead of an actual crime perpetrated against him.
