If you’re looking for something that will grip you, terrorize you, but subtly, softly, slowly, to the point you don’t even know it’s happening, Casual is for you. It’ll still be wrapping its crystal filaments around your brain after the last page. Trust me.

… “engrossing, intense read that left me stunned by what it had to say and how it said it.” … “It is achingly plausible; one of the most plausible futures I’ve read recently.” … “this a stunningly written near future parable about class, mental health, women’s autonomy and all the myriad ways a controlling society can challenge these in a future so real I could almost touch it. I inhabited this tale; it is remarkable.”

Casual is a powerful novel, a story that explores body autonomy in a world that pushes towards stripping individuals of it for their own safety; an excellent piece that I recommend if you are looking for a thought-provoking novel.
