Agree wholeheartedly.
Suicide is a real mental health issue. Teenagers commit suicide. Trying to pretend it doesn't exist and stopping teenagers reading books that deal with adult themes stops them being able to understand the issues. So I disagree with this sentiment entirely. Suicide is in no way glorified.
It needs to be talked about. And it is perfectly clear what the book is about if you read the short blurb.
