About the Author:

Louise O'Neill is the feminist powerhouse and outspoken voice for change whose novels Only Ever Yours and Asking for It helped to start important conversations about body image and consent.

Only Ever Yours won Newcomer of the Year at the Irish Book Awards and the Bookseller YA Prize. Film/TV rights have been optioned on both books. Louise lives and works in West Cork, Ireland. She contributes regularly to Irish TV and radio, and has a weekly column in the Irish Examiner.

Review:

Dark, gripping . . . should be mandatory reading everywhere * The F Word * 'A stunning debut set in a dystopian future that has everyone talking . . . once read, will never be forgotten' * Irish Independent * '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' * Publisher's Weekly * An ingenious exploration of gender roles, female identity and female competition * Buzzfeed * 'Compelling and frightening' * Irish Examiner * A sparkling debut that will really make you think * Heat * Terrifying but captivating * Company * 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 * Irish Independent * Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale with a post-millennial twist * The Journal.ie * Compelling writing ... this only-too-real dystopia grips from beginning to end * SFX * Deep, dark and frighteningly believable, this book will stay with you for a long time * Marie Claire * 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 * 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 * Sunday Independent * Utterly magnificent ... gripping, accomplished and dark * Marian Keyes * The Handmaid's Tale meets Mean Girls' * The Vagenda * Gripping ... like all the best dystopias, Only Ever Yours is about the world we live in now * Irish Times *
