![]() ![]() ![]() Glad I read it though as it was an interesting concept. I could totally see myself falling in love with it if I had read it as a teen, but as a 30 something woman who is very comfortable in my larger than life body, I found it all a bit sad and trivial. She says and does things that are completely typically teenager-y and she's the most unloyal friend you could have. Freida is the main narrator and I most admit that I honestly hated her at the beginning. I found it entertaining enough and thought-provoking but honestly it just wasn’t for me. Only Ever Yours is is the story of Freida, Isabel and their last year in high school. Keep it well clear of any young people with self-esteem issues as it could be very triggering. Although it is dystopian and set in a fictional future/present, I felt it was a scathing look at the bullying culture and picture perfect, instagram culture of young people today. As it says on the cover, think Handmaid’s Tale meets Mean Girls. This is a Young-Adult fiction Novel about a group of girls, or Eve’s, that have been designed for either prospective husbands, to be concubines, or to teach new Eves. She said it was one of her favourites so I thought I would give it a try.

It is not going to become a classic and it isn’t particularly literary or ‘worthy,’ it’s just entertainment. This book was recommended to me by a friend and colleague. ![]()
