The only reason I picked up this book to begin with was because I have an ARC of Once, Eve's sequel, sitting around, and I felt bad for neglecting it. I had fairly low expectations before going into Eve, and quite honestly, I expected my rating at the end to be at most two or three stars, after reading some of the negative reviews that almost assured I would have a similar experience.And I think it may be because of those very reviews that I had an experience almost completely opposite with Eve. Before even opening the pages Eve, I expected a boring read with mediocre characters and horrible world-building, as that is what most of the negative reviews led me to believe, but instead, what I got with Eve was a disturbing and emotionally raw novel with great characters that made me cry a countless amount of times. I found Eve to be a powerful and beautifully written little novel, and it was one that punched me in the gut over and over and over again.In the world of Eve, a disastrous plague has swept the entire nation and left ninety-eight of the entire population dying. After the aftermath of the plague, and after seeing her loved ones slowly fall at the hands of the plague, Eve is brought into the School - a housing place for young girls. At the School, the girls are fed, taught, and treated to until they turn eighteen. However, a day before her graduation from the School, Eve escapes to find out what really happens to the women after they graduate. Horrified by what she finds out to be the truth, she escapes from the School in a mission to go to a place called Califia; a place where she will be safe. But how will Eve, having been sheltered and kept from the outside world almost all her life, know who to trust?As I am writing this review, I am struggling to find another instance where a book has had as great of an emotional impact on me as Eve has. In fact, upon reading the very first pages in Eve, I found myself tearing up. This book is about love, it is about loss, it is about moving on, and, alongside that, it is about a young girl trying to run away from her future while also escaping from a deadly plague. And it handles all of that amazingly."I'd once read about amputees, and how they had pains where their arms and legs used to be. Phantom limbs, they were called. I'd always thought that was the best way to describe my feelings about my mother. She was now just an ache for something I'd had lost." - quote taken from EveEve is not the smartest heroine you'll ever read about, or the strongest, and she is at times a bit selfish and difficult to like, but I just found that to be the effects of her being sheltered and monitored and lied to her entire life. She's at times naive, and she is imperfect, but she learns from her mistakes and she feels guilt for her wrong decisions, seemingly miniscule and incapable of harm to her, that, unfortunately, impacted other people's lives. Eve feels regret for those decisions she's made, and she betters herself as a person through those wrong decisions. Or, in other words, she's human. And she's a lot more of a believable character than half of the heroines in young adult dystopians on the market today.As well as Eve, the secondary characters, and Eve's love interest, Caleb, were incredibly likable and developed throughout the course of the novel. I have to say that my favorite character in Eve was Arden, and that my favorite relationship in Eve was the one between her and Eve. The two girls are incredibly different and not ideal friends at first, but throughout the novel they learn that they are similar in many ways, and their relationship has one of the most interesting and well-developed dynamics I've had the pleasure to read about this year. I only wish I could say the same for the relationship between the two central characters, Eve and Caleb. While I definitely found Caleb to be a likable character, and Eve an at times likable character, I was never really sold on their relationship together. It was sweet, and it wasn't insta-love, but to me it just felt like there was no basis behind the purpose of the romance. Though I guess sometimes relationships are like that in the real world, as well.While the novel itself is certainly not without its flaws - the biggest one pertaining to the world-building, or lack thereof, I found Eve to be an engaging and powerful read, set in a grisly and disturbing world that is scarily possible, and the emotional impact it had on me is one that I am sure to remember. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprising! *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2012* All her life Eve has been told that Men were dangerous and WILL harm and prey on innocent girls. She has been told that so long as they stay in School grounds and stick with the system they will be protected, after a plague has wiped out most of the population. But, on the night before her graduation, Eve discovers that the things she has been told are far from what truly is and flees her all-girl school, hoping to find refugee at a camp where she will be safe, REALLY safe. But those plans are led astray when she finds herself in the path of a young hunter named Caleb, and the theories of how dangerous men really are, are put to the test...Eve, I must say, was an interesting read. Such a fascinating concept and idea and good execution. While it did take me a while to finish, I managed to stay entertained from cover to cover. The world, or New America, was an intricate creation. Such vision and descriptions, I don't know if I would even have the strive to try to survive such a wild world. (probably not) This is something that COULD happen. There are many viruses that are mutating each and every day. Getting less susceptible to antibiotics and vaccines, and adapting to the world. So the theory that a virus, plague, or other pandemic could wipe off many of the population like a stain on the kitchen counter is entirely plausible.The main character, Eve, is not one I particularly favored at the beginning. I somewhat warmed to her in the middle, but felt a little cold come the end, but am still hopeful for what she will bring in the sequel, ONCE. There were also a few character I felt that didn't need names. I found it difficult trying to memorize all of these names and placing them that I felt, "One of the boys" might have fared better in some instances.I must admit that this novel was not what I thought it was going to be from watching the book trailer. It was something almost entirely different, but this is not a bad thing. While in some ways it was divergent from what I thought it was originally, in other ways it was a pleasant surprise. I am a big romance-junkie so when things with Caleb started, you can BET I was all up in that. I am someone who likes my romance hot and steamy, and while there indeed was something there between the two, it was just shy of warm for me. I would have liked more romantic tension, more scenes that would have me begging for more. But soon warmth will have to give way to heat, and I am left in anticipation for what may come in ONCE!There is action, drama, suspense, and other elements incorporated into this first book, which leaves off in a good place for continuation. Overall, Anna Carey has crafted what will be an interesting series, and I am left impatiently waiting for the sequel, which releases July 3rd, 2012. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good first instalment *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2022* Liked this book, good first instalment. I often read this genre and most have the three book series too. Book two is often a space filler so it'll be interesting to see if I enjoy it as much. I like the characters and the story flows well so far... Not going to spoil it for anyone but if you've read books like the flow series, the testing series or the watchers of Eden (some of my more recent reads) I'm sure you'll like this too... dystopia... Female lead... Struggles and twists... And a subtle love interest... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/5087046-eve-eve-1](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/5087046-eve-eve-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
