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