Kiss Me First
The idea of examining life in the world of the web, including created identities, is an intriguing one for fiction and the book here has some amusing (intentional?) satirical touches. The lead character is a bit much, not very pleasant either. Not that the somewhat exaggerated comments on the book jacket are quite right (e.g., making it sound like a scary thriller; the cover image is curious too). Overall, too long and in the end not very satisfying.
