Has anyone here read the book By the Time You Read This I'll be Dead by Julie Ann Peters?

It's about a girl who's attempted suicide multiple times, the latest attempt she drank bleach & ammonia and now can't talk. She finds a pro suicide forum, one that more explicitly walks her through the process, and starts blogging about how she got to that point. It also follows a friendship with a boy at her school.

I really liked it and was wondering if anyone here had some thoughts about it.

It sounds interesting, and I might look into it.

This is a fictional account, right? I think I'll check it out.

I've only read the PPH and some of Final Exit. Is it worth reading? Does it have any good research/methods?

It sounds like young-adult fiction, so I'd assume not.

I started reading it but I never finished it. I find 'All The Bright Places' muchh better than that.

It is young adult fiction, but the MC reads about suicide and the book walks through her weighing the pros and cons of each method.

yes, it's a fiction YA book but I really connected with it.
