The Handmaid's Tale meets Scythe in this gripping new dystopian trilogy written by UK-bestselling authors Giovanna and Tom Fletcher.She survived against all odds. The first girl born in fifty years. They called her EVE.On the first day, no one really noticed. All those babies wrapped in blue blankets--not a pink one in sight. On the third day, people were scared--a statistic-defying abundance of blue. Not just entire hospitals, not only entire countries, but the entire world. Boys. Only boys.Until Eve. The only girl born in fifty years. The savior of mankind. Kept protected, towering above a ruined world under a glass dome of safety until she is ready to renew the human race. But when the time comes to find a suitor, Eve and Bram--a young man whose job is to prepare Eve for this moment--begin to question the plan they've known all along. Eve doesn't only want safety, and she doesn't only want protection. She wants the truth. She wants freedom.

"I read this summary and was so intrigued, it's been awhile since I read a dystopian novel but this idea totally sucked me in right away. The story did not disappoint either. I love a book where every page feels like develops the story and the characters. And I love a good forbidden love. This had both. I found that the storyline was really well balanced, the book felt like it focused mostly on the gravity of the situation, the drive towards liberation and the slow revelation of captivity, to Eve, her friends and the reader, while also sprinkling in the added factor of love. I enjoyed that. <br/><br/>I have to say, I felt the end could have been written better. I totally understand the open door for the next book, but I worry that, like many stories before this one, the second book might be a stretch on a great initial story. I am hesitant to dive into the next one for that reason, skeptical if it will be worth the read. <br/><br/>Loved this one though!"
