Critic reviews

Set in a dystopian future that has seen no girls born for 50 years . . . This promises to be one of the big books of the year. You'd be a fool to miss it

Their first joint book, Eve is forced to decide between love and the fate of humanity

Eve holds the fate of the human race in her hands . . . This chilling dystopia is at heart a love story, and the vivid characterisation has you rooting for the duo from page one (CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE MONTH)

A Hunger Games-esque novel . . . a compelling read

Casts a wide web of intrigue, deception, and hope. A heady page-turner and an enthralling start to a trilogy

Praise for Giovanna:

A fun read with a big dose of girl power

Praise for Tom:

Genius

Great YA fiction for youth and adults alike

So great to have a female protagonist that I would be happy to have my daughter look up to. She’s strong and balanced, but they still give her character a good arc. Despite her circumstances, they give her loads of agency and she is well-rounded and vital. The male protagonist is well-written and doesn’t fall into the same old YA patterns. He starts out flawed, for sure, but his character grows. There’s some really interesting experimenting done with the idea of identity and gender and their interplay.

They do fantastic world-building for the book without weighing it down with excessive detail. The secondary and even tertiary characters are colorful and interesting. It’s a fun ride from start to finish and I wish it had been around when I was a teen. Very much looking forward to reading the next one when it comes out. And probably the movie that someone somewhere is probably already planning.

Omg, I'm so exicted!

I got this book from the library, and I'm on Chapter Six, but then I got curious. Is it on Audible? I typed the title in, and YES! There it was. I am restarting the actual book from the beginning, so I can read and listen to it at the same time. I am so happy. Thank you, Audible!

Great read!

After reading a bunch of awful books lately this book was refreshing. Excellent story, can't wait for the next!

Great start to the trilogy!

The narrators were phenomenal to put it mildly. they did a great job capturing the voice of the characters Eve and Bram.

The story itself was engaging and well written.

The first issue I had with the story was the authors excessive descriptions on how fat one of the characters was. Anytime that one character spoke, walked, stood in a doorway it was all about how fat they we're. No other character was described in terms of body fat.

The second and last issue was that towards the end it got dramatic. I realize that the book is about a 16 year old girl and an 18 year old boy so the drama is going to happen no matter what. It felt like the writers were in a hurry to push the plot forward in the second half of the book.

That being said, this did contain some surprises and didn't take the most obvious route. The narrators made this a delight to listen to. I didn't get bored once.

Worth it!

Amazing story, can't wait for the sequel

I started it and in less then 3 days I had finished this audiobook. its such an easy book to take in, i loved the story and the way it's written
