About this listen

eves are designed, not made.
The School trains them to be pretty

The School trains them to Always be Willing.


All their lives, the eves have been waiting. Now, they are ready for the outside world.

Critic Reviews

Gripping ... like all the best dystopias, Only Ever Yours is about the world we live in now
The Handmaid's Tale meets Mean Girls'
Utterly magnificent ... gripping, accomplished and dark
Deserves to be read by young and old, male and female, the world over in the same way Harry Potter and The Hunger Games were
A dark dream. A vivid nightmare. The world O'Neill imagines is frightening because it could come true. She writes with a scalpel
Deep, dark and frighteningly believable, this book will stay with you for a long time
Compelling writing ... this only-too-real dystopia grips from beginning to end
Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale with a post-millennial twist
The bleakness of The Catcher in the Rye, the satire of The Stepford Wives and it made me recall Nineteen Eighty-Four ... a fresh and original talent
Terrifying but captivating
A sparkling debut that will really make you think
'Compelling and frightening'
An ingenious exploration of gender roles, female identity and female competition
'Terrifying and heartbreaking, O'Neill's story reads like an heir to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and MT Anderson's Feed, and, like those two books, it's sure to be discussed for years to come'
'A stunning debut set in a dystopian future that has everyone talking . . . once read, will never be forgotten'
Dark, gripping . . . should be mandatory reading everywhere
All stars

Its like creating barbie dolls into humans. I had very high expectations with this book. it could have been much better. Rather it’s just another chick-flick, like sonority girls.
Dumb and stupid girls fighting for men.

Total headache!! Dumb story
