After Cassie glimpses the future & walks out of Voyager, she "gives herself over" to the black hole, but says it's either an ending (she takes her own life) or a beginning (she takes a different path.) Possible outcomes other than suicide: she gets treatment & recovers, or has a complete psychotic break & lives in that "dimension." But even at rock bottom, she reaches out to her parents & wonders about her dad's feelings if he knew her call was the "last time," so I think she's still looking for hope.

Yes, the line about it being the last time she heard her dad’s voice plus her telling them she loves them, and it being the spot where the novel opened with a suicide�.I was so rooting for her. The ending has wrecked me for sure.

It's certainly ambiguous and I think the answer Attabey has covers this answer well.
I'd also add that Ripe opens with a suicide and brings up Believers standing on the CalTrain tracks. Clearly the case can be made that Etter has foreshadowed suicide.
Tho it seems disappointing if suicide is the ending's intention. Like a hurry-up lets end this thing kind of ending.
