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 16 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 10 beautiful girls in their year. The alternatives—life as a concubine or a chastity (teaching endless generations of girls)—are too horrible to contemplate.
But as the intensity of final year takes hold, the pressure to be perfect mounts. isabel starts to self-destruct, putting her beauty—her only asset—in peril. And then into this sealed female environment, the boys arrive, eager to choose brides. freida must fight for her future—even if it means betraying the only friend, the only love, she has ever known.

"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

It was okay
When the "twist" was revealed near the end, I wish we could have heard more of Isabelle's story. There was no other character in the whole story I really cared about. I was really confused with the friendship dynamic between Freida and Isabelle. They go from being best friends for a minute, to Isabelle not speaking to her at all and I wish we could have heard more from Isabelle and less from Freida who, I felt, did nothing but complain and whine.
