Kiss Me First by Lottie Moggach

Leila is a lonely young woman whose mother has just died from MS and who interacts with other people almost exclusively online. She joins a philosophy discussion website and the owner of the site approaches her with a proposal - take on the online identity of another person in order to enable that person to commit suicide without anybody knowing. A disturbing idea and well portrayed, this book is well written and worryingly easy to believe. Leila's complex character is very well drawn and really makes this novel more than just a holiday read. An enjoyable book about an unusual and morally interesting subject.
