Ooo, Ch. 2, 30m: we've got CHILD PORNOGRAPHY and REVENGE PORN into the mix.

Ch. 2, 17m: ah, the lovely trope - "jealous over-protective" dude needs to keep silly, naïve girlie safe b/c she's too dimwitted or foolish to take care of herself.

Ch. 1: fascinating what sixteen years makes. The age our MC is at the outset of the book, and the age this book is now. Meghan Chase has a rapist for a father and a homophobic bully for a best friend, yet the father fig is presented as chaotic neutral and the best friend is presented as chaotic good. Ah, the moral compass of 2010.
