A clever scenario. A girl wishing to commit suicide ‘hires’ a web-double so her family and friends will believe she still lives. She then tells them she’s going abroad to start a new life and won’t be seeing anyone. Her double, Leila, continues the lie. Leila is our narrator. She is extremely thorough with her research and is quite happy impersonating her client until an old flame appears on the scene. Ill-prepared for an online attraction, Leila becomes obsessed with the man and things get both complicated and very interesting. The twist is lovely. A most unusual, intense read.
Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award 2013.
