The Seclusion is scarily wonderful. I couldn't put this book down and ended up finishing it all in one day. Reminiscent of great dystopian novels like WE and 1984, it takes the sci-fi dystopian feel and makes it seem incredibly realistic and frighteningly plausible.
What I liked best: The characters are wonderful and relatable. Jacqui Castle's writing style is engaging and descriptive. Her world building makes the setting seem like home and incredibly alien at the same time. It combines a mixture of "This could never happen." with " Wait... this could happen." This mixture makes for a page-turner, roller coaster of a ride. Entertaining and thought-provoking this is my top pick book of 2019.

Don't pass up on Jacqui Castle's The Seclusion. You won't be disappointed. It is a book everyone will be talking about.
