A gripping psychological novel.' - Daily Beast could be the first great novel about the way the internet has become a part of our lives, what it means, and how it has fundamentally altered the way we get along with each other. Lottie Moggach’s mordantly well-observed debut, Kiss Me First. More than just a book about an early 21st-century lifestyle. An ingeniously plotted novel of stolen identity, Kiss Me First is brilliantly frightening about the lies we tell-to ourselves, to others, for good, and for ill. As they e-mail, chat, and Skype, Leila becomes enveloped in the world of Tess, learning every single thing she can about this other woman-because soon, Leila will have to become her. She is beautiful, urbane, witty, and damaged. Leila is thrilled when Adrian asks to meet her, flattered when he invites her to be part of 'Project Tess.' Tess is a woman Leila might never have met in real life. A sheltered young woman raised by her mother, Leila has often struggled to connect with the girls at school but on Red Pill, a chat forum for ethical debate, Leila comes into her own, impressing the Web site's founder, a brilliant and elusive man named Adrian.
