It's a high-speed train of a book that will have you clinging to the arm rests for the whole suspenseful, creepy jaunt. The plot is intelligent, thought-provoking and asks questions about a huge range of pertinent topics including identity, ethics, mental health and the dangers of living a virtual reality. This is a novel that gets darker with each turn of the page. Leila, our unreliable but compelling narrator, casts a powerful spell. 'A terrific success, captivating and consuming from the outset.
explores the dark side of friendship' Glamour 'Could this be the first coming-of-age novel for the internet generation?. Kiss Me First is a remarkably clever novel that is gripping from start to finish' Books of the Year, Stylist 'Lottie Moggach's very modern thriller takes identity fraud to the next level. but Lottie Moggach's approach - less doom and gloom and more wit and warmth - means that her two lead characters leap off the page' Marie Claire A brilliant debut that boldly heads into some very dark places. 'A finger-on-the-pulse take on identity as an online life replaces the real thing. 'Hailed as this year's Gone Girl, make room in your beach bag for this' Elle 'I was gripped from the first page, moved throughout, and swallowed the book whole.' Erin Kelly, author of The Poison Tree 'An outstanding first novel about a young woman who, with the internet as her ally, steers another woman towards suicide.' Books of the Year, Observer It's about women, families, relationships, intimacy and love, and it's bang on the money: Moggach has taken the online world's pulse and called it perfectly' Grazia
Kiss Me First works as a coming-of-age story, as a mystery, as a psychological thriller, as satire - and as a fantastic read. Not only is it acutely perceptive about the online world - all of it, not just the weirder end - but Lottie writes both Tess and Leila with a skill that borders on telepathy.
Kiss Me First is brilliant, one of those books you read till 3am. 'This is a book for anyone who's ever spent any time online, and for anyone who feels they over-engage with social media.
