When her mother dies, lonely girl Leila has to learn how to manage living on her own. Leila has a digital avatar, Shadowfax on the virtual reality game Azana.

There that she meets the mysterious Mania, and discovers the secret paradise called Red Pill. Despite being troubled by Calumny's disappearance from the game, Leila does want to join so she can start to understand some of the mysteries behind her new friend Tess and the world of Red Pill.

Leila suspects Denier, the youngest member of Red Pill, might be Adrian's next target and is determined to save him. But her doubts about Adrian are causing friction with Tess who is totally dependent on him.

Feeling responsible for Tess' safety, Leila realises Adrian is playing a game with her. She must find Tess before Adrian does.

But closing Red Pill down, Adrian sews the first seeds of doubt about Leila's character among the other members.

Adrian's game 'to stop the witch' reaches its real life climax as all the players assemble at his secret location, the real Red Pill. Adrian's acolytes are powerfully devout, but Leila's doubts leave a lingering question in Tess's fragile mind.

Tess makes it back to London and unites with Jonty to try and find Leila and stop Adrian. Leila must use all her wits to resist Adrian's mind control.

But how to vanquish an enemy who only exists in the shadows of the virtual world? It somehow manages to be both sleepy and bleak, which only drives viewers to seek out a different reality elsewhere.

As impressively as Azana's expanses are conceived and executed, none of Kiss Me First's digital escapism can match the more natural thrill of watching its two leads find in one another a safe haven that might be the real deal.

While the CGI sequences are impressive for a TV show of this scale, there's a noticeable stilted slump within Azana due to the facial animation's clear limitations.

I can't think of a better show to premiere in this era of technological anxiety, nostalgia for non-existent worlds and questions of identity, and it's great to see such an unapologetically female-led and youth-targeted show come out of Channel 4.

After viewing the first two episodes of Kiss Me First, I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to a light binge with Tess and Leila.

It's a series that demands you suspend disbelief, which isn't normally a problem, but then it takes leaps and bounds that don't seem to follow any plan.

Kiss Me First has a lot of spinning plates. It blends virtual sci-fi with repressed drama - creating a mix that's part therapy session, part love story, part mystery.

The show is sly and non-judgmental about all the alternative realities to which a young person might be drawn. More Headlines. Top Box Office. More Top Movies Trailers.

Jacob Oller. Paste Magazine. Dark, intriguing VR sci-fi drama can be mature. Kiss Me First is not trying to say the Internet and social networking is bad but just using it as a tool to tell this mystery.

For some, the narrative might not be the easiest to read but if you have spent time reading online journals at any point of time, you will pick it up pretty easily.

I really enjoyed this novel, the mystery was pretty ordinary but there were some surprises. I preferred the philosophical questions and the way Lottie Moggach explored the online life with such ease.

I was surprised to learn that this was a debut novel; it was executed well and offered some interesting thoughts on social networking. Also credit where credit is due, the approach to the internet was handled well; I think it will stand the test of time for a while and not age as fast as some novels.

Kiss Me First has been getting a lot of attention lately and it really was a thrilling novel and is sure to entertain the readers, especially if you spend most of your day online.

Mar 10, Anne rated it really liked it. Although a fairly short novel at just under pages in the proof copy , it took me longer than usual to read.

There is an intensity about the story, the characters and the writing that at times felt almost suffocating.

The reader is thrust into the isolated, fairly strange world of Leila. Leila is our narrator and although she does realise that there is more than one side to every story, we readers only hear her side to this particular tale.

Growing up the only child of a single mother, Leila Although a fairly short novel at just under pages in the proof copy , it took me longer than usual to read.

Growing up the only child of a single mother, Leila has led a sheltered existence. The slow decline in her mother's health and her eventual death have left her with a sense of worthlessness and she immerses herself in an alternative world via the internet, playing games and interacting with people in various chat rooms.

One web site in particular; Red Pill and it's charismatic founder Adrian attracts her more than most and it is through Adrian that she hears about Tess.

Tess wants to commit suicide, but doesn't want to cause hurt to her family and friends. Tess plans to tell everyone that she is moving away, to 'start over' when really she plans to kill herself.

Leila will take on Tess's identity online. Leila is relating her side of the story a year later when she has travelled abroad to the place that Tess 'moved away to'.

Slowly and surely she relates just how she became Tess, her feelings for the other woman, her lifestyle and her friends.

This is an incredibly unique, unusual and sometimes terrifying story. Terrifying in the way that it really makes the reader consider just what they do and say online.

These days, most of us use at least one form of social media. Every day I see friends and family who post the most intimate details of their daily lives.

Give me a bit of time and I'm sure that I could 'become' one of my Facebook friends. In fact, how do I know that that online presence is in fact that person who I last saw 15 years ago?

Lottie Moggach has dealt with some harrowing and serious issues within this novel, yet there is also an innocence about Leila that makes her both hostile and endearing at the same time.

A perfectly plotted story that deals with a very topical subject. I will be very interested to see what Lottie Moggach comes up with in her next book.

Aug 25, CiderandRedRot rated it it was ok Shelves: unreliable-narrator , issues-novel , misleading-cover-art. First off, I don't know what the cover artist for the above was smoking, but disregard with extreme prejudice.

The suicide will still be dead, but the grieving process would be drawn out exponentially since at some point the whole charade must end. But they all felt under-realised to me.

Jul 04, Katey Lovell rated it really liked it. Her debut novel Kiss Me First is original and fresh, with an unsettling and thought provoking plot.

Leila lives in a poky London flat where she is detached from society. She spends most of her time on a philosophy debating website called 'Red Pill', the one place where she feels she is respected and valued.

Through the website Leila is put in touch with Tess. Tess wants to commit suicide, but doesn't want her family and friends to be hurt by her actions.

Leila learns all she can about Tess, the important and the seemingly insignificant details, before Tess disappears and Leila assumes her identity.

Kiss Me First is a disturbing yet compelling read that is beautifully written- a fantastic debut novel. The characters are built up in a way that means you are never entirely sure of either their motives or sanity.

I felt uneasy throughout yet it was such a gripping novel that I couldn't stop reading! The only downfall for me was that the ending seemed just a bit too abrupt.

Kiss Me First is out now, published by Picador. I reread this in anticipation of Moggach's second novel, Under The Sun.

I remembered reading it the first time and being appalled by how little happened and the extreme fizzle of the plot, and finding it distinctly mediocre in the middle of a lot of hype.

However, I was in the middle of an intense depressive episode at the time, so I wasn't really thinking about very much. All this considered, I decided that I owed Moggach a reread, especially as it was still on my kindle.

I still struggled with the plot, which is prime thriller material: told in "past" and "present" shifting timeline, lonely outcast Leila, spending too much time online and still grieving for her mother, who died of MS, is recruited into an "Internet suicide cult" though she'd probably hate me describing it that way.

Handpicked by charismatic Redpill Reddit, essentially founder, Adrian, she's asked to take over the Internet life of the charismatic, artistic, and bipolar Tess.

Tess plans to slip away to commit suicide, but wishes not to disturb her family, especially her father, Jonathan, who is suffering from Alzheimer's.

She wants to lie that she's started a new life in Canada. I think Moggach is a plain superb writer, and this is because I loved Leila.

I've seen from other reviews that other people find her extremely unlikeable, and they've got a point. She's hyper-logical and can often respond in quite an alien way, especially in stressful situations.

Yet I found her unusually charming and refreshing, mainly because of the complexity and care with which Moggach crafted her.

She has no friends, and becomes irrationally "disappointed" when she notices via Facebook, naturally that her only old friend from school, Rashida, has started painting her nails like all the other girls in her class.

In Leila's relationship with her mother, the Internet, and Tess, Moggach hits several incredibly complex notes. Tess could be a cliche - the bipolar manic pixie dream girl - but Moggach colours her with a serious sadness for her lack of meaningful relationships and her flighty behaviour with such depth and realism that she could be a person walking past you.

Leila's relationship with her mother is another brilliant display of subtlety and understanding. I expected something like Norman's mother from Psycho , but the love and co-dependency between them were far more realistic and complicated than that.

How do I know I love certain books? I feel it. I feel them. I felt this book, which makes me able to overlook the flaws in the plot.

At the moment that Tess decides to trigger her plan and leave Leila in charge of her identity, the book loses its most fascinating relationship. Its replacement is an online flirtation Leila misguidedly strikes up with a red-hot lawyer with whom Tess had a fling, Connor.

Unfortunately, he's no match for the insight and the penetration of the rest of the book, so he just ends up feeling like a blank, bland cliche.

The plot of the novel does finally succeed in closing on a believably hopeful - and, for that, enjoyable and surprising - note, but it's important to note that the book makes it clear that it is going to be a slower, more literary novel than the thriller that it superficially appears to be.

This isn't necessarily a "bad" thing, it's just very different, but unfortunately it does occasionally feel like an anticlimax.

Nevertheless, Leila kept me reading, and I recommend the novel for her. This brilliantly original debut by Lottie Moggach , is a timely novel with two current issues at its heart.

Lei This brilliantly original debut by Lottie Moggach , is a timely novel with two current issues at its heart.

Leila, our narrator, was an only child. Intelligent albeit socially inept and just a little naive, having led a sheltered life in which taking care of her mother, who suffered with Multiple Sclerosis, was a priority, she is a loner, still mourning the loss of her mother and is content to work from home doing freelance computer programming work and getting lost in the world of her favourite online game.

After a particular ethical discussion, of which she is passionate about, captures her attention on the forum and she posts her thoughts, she is at once noticed by the founder of the website, Adrian Dervish, a somewhat elusive online presence and, according to another member of the forum, one not to be provoked.

When he sends her a message requesting a meeting to discuss an issue relating to her post, she is thrilled that someone has taken the time to notice her.

I really liked the premise of this novel which I thought to be quite unique and, throughout the narrative, found myself continually asking myself questions about what I would have done.

On the one hand, there is the issue of social media and the ever-increasing effect it has on our lives as families begin to separate and create new lives for themselves, sometimes many thousands of kilometres away from each other.

I have a husband and two children and, my mother may live about half a world away from me, but I speak to her on a weekly basis. Well-crafted with thought-provoking and powerful issues at its heart, this emerging author has written an insightful story about the depths of grief and suffering, loneliness and that fundamental human need to belong, which I would highly recommend to both young and old.

Aug 09, Grace Jolliffe rated it liked it. Kiss Me First is a first book from Lottie Moggach. I note that she is a daughter of Deborah Moggach whose books I enjoy.

However, that is not the reason I bought this book. I bought this book because of the premise. Not in this case however, as this book is well published and publicized despite an entire cast of unlikeable characters.

I am glad this book was published — whatever the reason. Likeable characters are boring and unlikeable characters are not. We should have a lot more of them — especially female ones because there are already factory loads of well publicized, well published, nice, likeable female characters boring each other off the shelves at the front of the bookshops.

This shortfall at is most apparent at the end of the book. When I got there I was disappointed. I felt there was a better ending for Leila.

I would love to see if the confidence gained from the success of this book removes the pressure to sacrifice truth to the shrine of the happy ending.

Nov 20, Amanda rated it liked it. I am going to go with 3 stars for now Socially awkward, Leila moves away from her family home after her mother and her only friend dies from complications of MS.

She spends her days and nights in front of a computer playing World of Warcraft and contracting with a Quality Assurance Firm. She is quickly singled out from the web admin and owner of the website, Adrian.

Adrian is a libertarian, I am going to go with 3 stars for now So basically, suicide. The idea is: Leila gets to know Tess and all the details about her life for a few months.

Leila impersonates Tess online for about 6 months after while she gradually starts to reduce contact with everyone. The hope is most people will forget about her.

This whole elaborate and silly scheme is to reduce the amount of pain and suffering for her friends and family. Adrian lays it on thick for Leila.

Leila takes about two seconds ok, maybe it was overnight thinking about it and then, she agrees.

Regardless of what you morally or religiously believe about suicide, this book does not try to sway the reader into another way of thinking.

I, personally, have strong, non-religious feelings about suicide, and I did not feel like the book was about what's right or wrong about the right to die.

The book is also not a mystery or suspense thriller. It's mostly a character study. Other readers have described the main character and narrator of the book, Leila, as unlikeable.

It's not that she is completely unlikeable, she is just extremely socially awkward and delusional. It takes a skilled author to make you empathize with, but not like an unlikeable character.

What was bad about this book was the abrupt ending and slow-moving pace. Overall, I am interested in seeing how Lottie Moggach progresses as an author.

Jan 23, C. Kiss Me First is a hard book to define. If I had to give a snappy one-liner I'd say it was Daphne Du Maurier writing an episode of Catfish and, given how much I enjoy both of these things, it goes without saying that I loved it.

On the cover, Harper's Bazaar describes if "The first thriller to truly tackle a life lived online" which is also a good start.

As a thriller, Kiss Me First is as addictive as any I've read. There is an engaging mystery and its perfect structure reveals pieces of the p Kiss Me First is a hard book to define.

There is an engaging mystery and its perfect structure reveals pieces of the puzzle at exactly the right moments for maximum impact.

It has passages so tense I felt my pulse start to race not in the hyperbolic sense but the literal one. But there's so much more than just immaculate thrills.

It is a deeply philosophical book that asks huge questions. Textually it debates the ethics of assisted suicide but, beneath that, it goes into the construction of "personality" and the nature of "self"; what it means to be alive.

It's also - as so many of the best books are - about writing. Our narrator constantly studies people and uses what she sees to create her own fictions, mirroring what the author is also doing on every page Moggach's gift for social observation is dazzling.

Yet this is no arch meta-potboiler drenched in double meaning. At its core is a heartfelt treatise on 21st century loneliness - the feeling of searching for your reflection in the monitor screen and finding all that stares back is a darkness.

An exhilarating, moving and unique debut novel. May 30, Kate Brown rated it really liked it. A fresh, edgy psychological thriller which questions everything we believe about identity and trust.

When Leila is asked by charismatic Mr Dervish to assume Tess's online identity so that no-one will know she has gone, he says 'think of it as acting like a dimmer switch on her life'.

Leila is a gloriously naive - and unreliable - narrator. Moggach cleverly counterpoints a woman who has lived life to the full and now wishes to disappear with a girl whose virtual life is more vivid than the world A fresh, edgy psychological thriller which questions everything we believe about identity and trust.

Moggach cleverly counterpoints a woman who has lived life to the full and now wishes to disappear with a girl whose virtual life is more vivid than the world around her.

The writing is perceptive and full of black humour, for example the way Moggach subtly reveals Leila's personality through the reactions of those around her.

The amusing image of our 'heroine' skulking conspicuously behind a copy of 'The Princess Bride' in a crowded City pub while congratulating herself on her ability to blend in will stay with me for some time.

This an absorbing debut - as boundaries blur and you question the truth of anything you've been told so far, you'll find yourself reading late into the night.

Jul 06, Lora rated it liked it. Twenty-something Leila is socially awkward and friendless. She is even more alone when her mother dies.

After moving to a new flat in another part of London, she gets involved in a website called Red Pill, where the members debate philosophical issues.

The creator of the site, a man named Adrian, approaches Leila, asking her if she would be interested in helping a woman named Tess who wants to commit suicide.

Leila's job would be to impersonate Tess online to her family and friends to make them Twenty-something Leila is socially awkward and friendless.

Leila's job would be to impersonate Tess online to her family and friends to make them believe that she still is alive, in order to cause them the least amount of pain.

Leila agrees and spends hours getting to know Tess, her background, and the way she behaves, so she can be successful at her task. Leila and Tess, however, never meet in person.

After Tess leaves on her journey and Leila's job begins, she finds it's hard to separate her life from Tess' and not be curious about how Tess took her own life.

Leila's character is not that sympathetic, but the overall plot really keeps you engaged. Matthew Beard. Haruka Abe. Matthew Aubrey. Meer acteurs.
