Have you ever wanted to disappear or live a different life? Leila feels this way. She's grown tired of her sheltered existence as an IT tester. All of her work and spare time is spent on-line. She discovers the Red Pill website and her life begins to change. The group gives her a sense of identity but the catch is it's not her own. Can she switch her digital life for something more exciting? Read on to learn more about Leila in the gripping novel KISS ME FIRST by Lottie Moggach.
After years spent caring for her ailing mother and now dealing with her recent death, Leila has become less and less satified with her lot in life. Lelia finds the Red Pill website and joins their on-line community for ethical debates. She feels as if she has found the answer to her isolated world. The group’s charismatic leader Adrian offers her the opportunity to go from geek girl to glamorous gal. Her secret mission is to assume the identity of a suicidal young woman named Tess. Can Leila take over Tess' digital identity? Will Leila's real life change for the better or will her virtual world make it all the more complicated?
