\"eve<\/a>Eve of Man
\n<\/strong>by Giovanna and Tom Fletcher
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Review by Bronwyn Eley<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The second I read the description of this book – I was hooked! The best part? Eve of Man<\/em><\/a> did not disappoint. Welcome to a bleak reality where, for the last fifty years, only boys have been born. No girls. Until Eve, their saviour. She is whisked away to a high tower filled with ageing women – her ‘mothers’ – until she comes of age and can bear girls of her own. At least, that\u2019s the hope. A hope that burns in every single person on the planet.<\/p>\n

Everything is on track and Eve is set to meet three potential \u2018partners\u2019 to start a family with. Enter Bram, the son of genius Dr Isaac Wells, who works closely with Eve. He is her best friend. Her confidant. Her soulmate. Only Eve doesn\u2019t know this. Bram has never actually met Eve in person. Instead, Bram interacts with Eve as a hologram called Holly.<\/p>\n

Of course, chaos ensues, bringing Bram and Eve face-to-face. Then everything goes pear shaped. Now that they\u2019ve met, their attraction to one another in undeniable. No one can blame Bram, as Eve is the only – literally! – young girl on the planet. The two have spent countless hours bonding, laughing and trusting.<\/p>\n

With Eve\u2019s coming of age also comes a realisation that her \u2018safe haven\u2019 is actually a prison. Eve is like any young person whose world has come crashing down around them, who has suddenly been exposed to a harsh and painful truth. The Fletchers do a fantastic job of making this unique girl in an incomprehensible situation suddenly extremely relatable for the readers.<\/p>\n

Eve can’t deny the truth anymore: that those who swore to ‘protect’ her don’t actually have her best interest at heart. What she wants more than anything is to be free to live her life outside the tower. With Bram, if she has anything to say about it.<\/p>\n

The Fletchers hooked me straight away and from page one I found myself on whirlwind ride of love, freedom and justice. I can\u2019t wait for book two!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
