Description: The Rumpus: What to Read When You''ve Made it Halfway Through 2018 Bustle: 15 New Books You Need To Know Bitch Media: 11 Books Feminists Should Read Book Riot: 10 July New Releases to Put on Hold at the Library Right Now Nylon: Great Books To Read This Summer Gizmodo: New Scifi and Fantasy Books to Add to Your Reading List in July "What if immortality fueled the economy and a government agency created an algorithm that decides who lives forever--and who doesn''t? That''s the creepy world Rachel Heng constructs in SUICIDE CLUB, a dark novel where the systems of human inequality feel unsettlingly close to current reality." --Bitch Media "SUICIDE CLUB is an original and subversive exploration of health obsessions, consumptions, and what makes life worth living." -- The Independent "This is a refreshingly original debut. And that cover!" --Book Riot "What is the value of life if it never ends? A feat of blazing imagination, Rachel Heng''s SUICIDE CLUB is a thought-provoking look at a near-future society that feels a quarter-turn away from ours. Heng''s storytelling gleams, but this novel doesn''t shy away from darkness--thank goodness." -- Kelly Luce, author of Pull Me Under "How can such a young writer know all these things? Rachel Heng''s first novel is as keen as a sharpened blade. SUICIDE CLUB is on the money about where our current obsessions are leading us and yet she makes us care about her characters in deep and old-fashioned ways. It reminded me again and again of Orwell and Huxley. I have the feeling that this is the beginning of a long and illustrious career." -- James Magnuson "I happily lost a whole weekend to SUICIDE CLUB. This life-affirming book about death lingers long after the last page. ''Be careful what you wish for'' has never been so chilling, or so gripping." -- Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said "SUICIDE CLUB bends genre with grace and artistry, delivering us to the outermost reaches of what''s familiar and affirming what dares to still exist there: family, friendship, and forgiveness. With superb writing, Rachel Heng has crafted a world inside of a world gone mad, one where love faces its most difficult test. This is an exciting, bold, inventive novel." --Kristen Iskandrian, author of Motherest "The future is here. Let''s welcome one of its stars. Talented and ferociously intelligent, Heng has produced a glittering debut." --Joanna Briscoe, author of You "In exquisitely crafted prose, Rachel Heng gives us a startling look at a version of the world that seems simultaneously wild and plausible. Heng is a bold new talent and a writer to watch." --Liz Moore, author of Heft and The Unseen World "A Dorian Gray nightmare of a future where the sought-after beauty is barely even skin deep, SUICIDE CLUB is a subversive celebration of life. It makes us consider what''s actually valuable, and what ''healthy living'' really means. I love novels that tackle this sort of subject matter, and this is one that glitters, darkly." --Nick Clark Windo, author of The Feed "I am in awe of the deeply disturbing yet utterly convincing world Heng manages to create. I loved the book''s central message: the beauty in imperfection, the importance of letting go. I loved the flawed and fearsome central characters...SUICIDE CLUB is a bold and brilliant book." -- Francesca Jakobi, author of Bitter "I always love novels that can combine powerful writing with massive levels of compassion and heart, and SUICIDE CLUB is one such book. Its genre-straddling dark heart can''t fail to impress." -- James Smythe, author of The Machine and The Testimony "Heng expertly threads a ribbon of dread through her glittering vistas and gleaming characters...[This is] a complicated and promising debut that spoofs the current health culture craze even as it anticipates its appalling culmination." -- Kirkus "Fans of modern speculative fiction and readers who love stories that warn us to be careful what we wish for will be enthralled by Heng''s highly imaginative debut, which deftly asks, "What does it really mean to be alive?" -- Library Journal , starred review
