- Summary

She is, as she says of herself, like Marmite.And then, later than many, she discovers the joys of sharing online, of the pleasure of flirting in 140 characters, the delight of shocking with suggestive, though of course innocent, pictures. She finds herself unable to exist without the frequent Tweets. But as her husband becomes the Headmaster of an important school and her social media presence increases, trolls follow and Lisa's whole way of life becomes threatenedBoth the nature of our obsession with frequent communication and the freedom this appears to give us to invade, and indeed almost persecute, others is brilliantly told as Paula Byrne challenges us to see whether Lisa can be saved from her addiction and to discover the identity or identities of her attackers.
