Eliot woke up to a sexual act being performed on him when he had given no consent, that is rape. Eliot being so drunk that he thinks the girl is someone else, that is rape. If it had been the other way round and a man had done this to Macy and she was so drunk she believed it was her boyfriend, it definitely would’ve been addressed as rape. I’m upset that it wasn’t handled properly in the book, it would’ve been a good opening to bring up the topic of male rape and it’s honestly the only bad note I have on this whole book.(less)
