"Only Ever Yours" by Louise O'Neill is a dystopian story set in a future where girls are genetically engineered to be perfect companions for men. The narrative follows Freida, one of the girls raised in a restrictive boarding school called the Eves, where they are trained to be beautiful and subservient. As Freida faces the societal pressures of being chosen by a man, she grapples with complex issues of identity, friendship, and self-worth. The story explores themes of feminism, body image, and the consequences of a society that values women solely for their looks, leading to a gripping and thought-provoking conclusion.
