Critics Review
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.
SUICIDE CLUB is an original and subversive exploration of health obsessions, consumptions, and what makes life worth living - IndependentWe raced through this addictive take on the modern obsession with youth and perfection - SunAn intriguing idea in which Heng takes a much-needed swipe at health fascism and our obsession with youth, beauty and superfoods - Mail on SundayRachel Heng’s highly readable debut novel is thought-provoking, moving, worryingly convincing - and ultimately hopeful - Irish TimesA provocative new author. A fascinating debut novel. Read it!If the styling is satirical … Heng isn’t playing for laughs … the fascinating and compelling scenario on show here ultimately forces you to question nothing less than the meaning of life - MetroA provocative and engrossing novel, SUICIDE CLUB has plenty to say about our obsession with health fads - StylistAbout The Author
