Only Ever Yours by Louise O’Neill
Imagine a world where women are not born but created. ‘eves’ exist purely to become the perfect companions of men. They are raised in The School by a group of women called chastities, where they can take one of three routes: become a companion (the perfect Stepford wife), a concubine (existing solely for the extra-marital pleasures of men) or a chastity.
Only Ever Yours follows the story of sixteen-year-old freida (and note the lower case; only men are referred to with capital letters).
