A book written in firts person, with a main character who selfharms and/or is suicidal
I don’t really care if the boon has a happy or a sad ending. I’d prefere if it was under 400 Page tho. Preferably around 300 but it can be more or less.
I’d prefere if the main character was any age under 30, but it’s not a must.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky deals with mental illness, I cannot remember if there are any direct references to self harm but it definely handles suicide as well as depression in a thoughtful and careful way. It is my favorite novel.
Cut by Patricia McCormick deals with self harming tendencies all over the spectrum, through the lense of a girl in a psychiatric ward.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher has a bit of a reputation, but it’s always best to come to your own conclusion whether you like it or not. Deals with a main character giving us reasons why she justifies her suicide, and explains to those around her why she did so in the form of tapes she left behind.

Knellers Happy Campers is about a special afterlife for people who have killed themselves, and is in first person. It’s the basis for the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story. I like it quite a bit

A long way down by Nick Hornby, 4 individuals meet accidentally after individually deciding to commit suicide by jumping off a building. It’s a dark comedy.

Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke
It’s an easy read, poignant, hilarious, clever. It instantly became one of my top 10 favourite reads.
The page count is more like 400, but the writing style includes texting and journal entries, so the word count is much lighter than you’d think.

Everyone in this room with someday be dead – Emily Austin. The SH and SI are not the entire plot of the book, but the character has these thoughts the entire time.
