‘Lottie Moggach's very smart Kiss Me
First (Pan Macmillan) is a moving coming of age story hidden within a harrowing
mystery. Moggach explores a lot of dark territory--suicide,
alienation, innocence betrayed--yet somehow she's managed to write an
unexpectedly warm-hearted novel.
The book is narrated by Leila, a modern
day feral child, raised not by wolves or bears but the Internet. We watch as
she makes her way in from her personal wilderness and teaches herself how to be
human--how to know what love is, for instance, without first needing to Google
it.
The story's suspense will keep you reading, but it's Leila's surprisingly
emotional journey toward selfhood that will stick with you long after
you've finished this wonderful first novel.’
Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
‘A brave, poignant and humane novel about
society’s taboos – and the cost of breaking them. Lottie Moggach has put
her finger to the pulse of our times.’
Liz Jensen, author of The Rapture
‘Witty, suspenseful, satirical and bold. A
Patricia Highsmith for the Facebook age.’
Polly Samson,
author of Perfect Lives
*Lottie Moggach lives in London. This is her first novel.

From the publisher:
Our trailer to
promote the book is something rather different and we need your help to
spread it far and wide. The video not only encourages viewers to engage with key
themes
in Kiss Me First and recreates the book’s somewhat uncomfortable
atmosphere, it also
plays differently for everyone who watches it.
To view the trailer, you need to log in with Facebook. The trailer app will NEVER post anything or
show up on your facebook page so please do click 'ok'
when asked if you're happy
for it to access your details. We promise it's
completely safe. It's a good idea to watch
with your headphones in or speakers
turned up.
