Revenge porn (the distribution of someone's sex tape without their consent) ends up being a crucial plot point toward the end of the book.

Damn. I'm not even sure how to review this book. It's complex and full of gritty characters that you like and dislike, usually at the same time. And that ending? Left me staring at the page for a couple minutes.
