Why we recommend it

The first Buttons installment — Sky writes the captive romance with the lace as both the delicate and the entrapping: the lace is what she's wearing or what covers the nature of the captivity, and buttons are what fasten it shut. The series operates on the imagery of the domestic and the binding in equal measure.
