Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This is one of those reads that I know will follow me for days. In odd moments here and there, I will wonder what is happening to the characters now. Much of the plot - lonely woman sucked into online community making assumptions that are clearly not valid - is transparent but even so, the story line sucked me in like Leila on the Red Pill site. I 'read' the audio version and the experience was heightened by the British accent of the very excellent reader as well as the quasi exotic British details of the story. This is a brilliant first novel. Best I've read in a while. no reviews | add a review

It's a car crash waiting to happen, of course, but there are some wonderful observations and set pieces. Leila is a really nice example of a narrator who is not unreliable, per se - the audience is so much better placed to see what's going on than Leila could ever be. Nevertheless, from the security of her tiny bedroom Leila ends up on a whistle stop tour of what it's like to be an adult that will change her forever.
Definitely worth a go.
