Part mystery, Fleur Ferris's debut novel Risk hits all the right marks when viewed as a reflection on the possible dangers and realities of the modern online environment. Risks were taken with the characters - Ferris has created realistic portrayals of teenagers, engaged daily with the internet. Taylor's slow realisation that her friend Sierra could indeed be missing after meeting with a guy in person having spoken briefly before online feels honest, as well as the eventual guilt that slows Taylor's world and the subsequent determination she has of finding her friend. I look forward to Ferris's next novel.
