Only Ever Yours

Where women are created for the pleasure of men, beauty is the first duty of every girl. In Louise O'Neill's world of Only Every Yours women are no longer born naturally, girls (called "eves") are raised in Schools and trained in the arts of pleasing men until they come of age. Freida and Isabel are best friends. Now, aged sixteen and in their final year, they expect to be selected as companions--wives to powerful men. All they have to do is ensure they stay in the top ten beautiful girls in their year. The alternatives--life as a concubine, or a chastity (teaching endless generations of girls)--are too horrible to contemplate.

This book needs to be classified as HORROR. Think Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale meets the Stepford Wives, then sprinkle in a little of Rosalind Wiseman's Queen Bees and Wannabes and there you have it. A horrifying, fantastic, near-believable ride into a future where women are designed. I want more!!
