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.

Tara Burton’s prose is wonderful. She does a great job at carrying the reader through the story she wants to tell. Each character means something in the grand scheme. The author does not waste time but the story doesn’t seem rushed either. 

Button certainly has something to say and I am glad I listened. If you are deciding wether or not to pick this one up, go ahead and try it out.
