And as for the second, the "asian kid's older brother" did not commit suicide, he was murdered. Though I agree that Cline could have just used the word suicide instead of seppuku, the characters in question were pretty obsessed with the samurai. It's prose on roughly the same level of 50 Shades coated in 8 layers of 80s nostalgia. The fact that there was a "for girls" version released shows how much of a hack the writer is.
