Suicide Club

Fiction by Rachel Heng.

This was a strange book about a futuristic society where people can live practically forever... if they have enough money. So those who can't afford expensive life-extending treatments are called "sub-100's," because the poor slobs can't live past 100.

In the opening chapter, Lea, the main character, is a "Lifer" celebrating her hundredth birthday while still looking a perfectly preserved twenty-five. But as the story progresses, she starts to see the darker side of her society's worship of youth and health, and finds out about the existence of an underground "suicide club" that rebels against the norm.

As a social commentary, this was an interesting book, but the story was not quite right in some way. A review on barnesandnoble.com called this an "uneven"debut novel, and I think that's probably a decent assessment.
