"In this debut set in near future NYC--where lives last 300 years and the pursuit of immortality is all-consuming--Lea must choose between her estranged father and her chance to live forever. Lea Kirino is a "Lifer," which means that a roll of the genetic dice has given her the potential to live forever--if she does everything right. And Lea is an overachiever. She's a successful trader on the New York exchange--where instead of stocks, human organs are now bought and sold--she has a beautiful apartment, and a fiancé who rivals her in genetic perfection. And with the right balance of HealthTechTM, rigorous juicing, and low-impact exercise, she might never die. But Lea's perfect life is turned upside down when she spots her estranged father on a crowded sidewalk. His return marks the beginning of her downfall as she is drawn into his mysterious world of the Suicide Club, a network of powerful individuals and rebels who reject society's pursuit of immortality, and instead chose to live--and die--on their own terms. In this future world, death is not only taboo; it's also highly illegal. Soon Lea is forced to choose between a sanitized immortal existence and a short, bittersweet time with a man she has never really known, but who is the only family she has left in the world."--

Death is close to being eradicated, which in itself is a scary prospect personally. Enter Suicide Club and people who have found a way to end it. I found the lack of plot movement and character building a disappointment in this one and found myself slogging through the latter end of the novel. That been said it was an “alright” dystopian and some may well love it just not the best I have read.
This was REALLY good!!! I Loved the MCs and the idea of forced immortality was certainly something I haven't come across before!!! It was pretty well written too, though it Was hard to get into in the beginning and it did get a little too wordy in some places. Overall though I'd DEFINITELY recommend this book, as it definitely Does give a good message about the meaning of life!!!
