"A haunting dystopian novel for fans of The Handmaid's
Tale"--Refinery29
"Only Ever Yours is a chilling dystopian fantasy... It has the
bleakness of Catcher in the Rye, the satire of The Stepford Wives
and it made me recall how scared I felt reading Nineteen
Eighty-Four... But by far the best thing about Louise O' Neill's
book is that it is well written, by a fresh and original
talent."--Anne Cunningham, Irish Independent
"[A] terrifying but captivating book."--Company magazine
"A dark dream. A vivid nightmare. The world O'Neill imagines is
frightening because it could come true. She writes with a
scalpel."
--Jeanette Winterson
"A witty and unsettling story...Hopefully Only Ever Yours will be
read widely."--The Telegraph
"An ingenious exploration of gender roles, female identity, and
female competition."--Buzzfeed
"Compelling writing and a brutal conclusion means this
only-too-real dystopia grips from beginning to end."--SFX
Magazine
"Dark and thought-provoking... There are some good Logan's Run
shivers, and it is beautifully written."--Tara Flynn, The Irish
Times
"Deep, dark and frighteningly believable. This story will stay with
you for a long time."--Marie Claire
"Disturbing, provocative . . . I was utterly captivated from
beginning to end."--Gabriel Byrne ("In Treatment," "The Usual
Suspects," "Miller's Crossing)
"If the Hunger Games series was your guilty pleasure then young
Irish author Louise O' Neill's debut novel Only Ever Yours is about
to become another... [It] explores the contemporary pressure on
women and girls to be 'perfect' in this dark and gripping
narrative."--Irish Tatler
"O'Neill has talent to burn; this dystopian YA debut is both
compelling and frightening."--Irish Examiner
"O'Neill's story reads like an heir to Margaret Atwood's The
Handmaid's Tale and M.T. Anderson's Feed, and, like those books,
it's sure to be discussed for years to come."--Publishers Weekly,
starred review
"Unbelievably believable, compelling, utterly riveting... Whilst it
is dark, uncompromising and utterly daunting to read as a woman, it
is and should be a classic in the making."--Liz Loves Books
"Utterly magnificent . . . gripping, accomplished and
dark."--Marian Keyes
