Book Review: Suicide Club by Rachel Heng
Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this book. On one hand it drew me in and carried me along but on the other hand it didn't go very far.
Set in the future where people are regularly living well over 100 years and are on the cusp of immortality. Death is a long and drawn out process thanks to mechanical hearts and other technology so some people are turning to the mysterious Suicide Club.
We follow two leads, Lea and Anja. Anja helps run the club, Lea seems to have a past and a life that was always going to lead her there, or so it appeared to me. Lea had some small fascinations in her love of vintage music and her troubled past but overall neither had very distinct personalities and there was very little character arc. The ending also seemed a little flat and incomplete, however I admired the world-building and writing style overall.
3/5 stars.
