When Sarah falls for Matthew, she falls hard.
So it doesn't matter that he's twenty years older. That he sees her only in secret. That, slowly but surely, she's sacrificing everything else in her life to be with him.
Sarah's friends are worried. Her father can't understand how she could allow herself to be used like this. And she's on the verge of losing her job.
But Sarah can't help it. She is addicted to being desired by Matthew.
And love is supposed to hurt.
Isn't it?

Deep beneath the sea, off the cold Irish coast, Gaia is a young mermaid who dreams of freedom from her controlling father. On her first swim to the surface, she is drawn towards a human boy. She longs to join his carefree world, but how much will she have to sacrifice? What will it take for the little mermaid to find her voice? Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale is reimagined through a searing feminist lens, with the stunning, scalpel-sharp writing and world building that has won Louise her legions of devoted fans. A book with the darkest of undercurrents, full of rage and rallying cries: storytelling at its most spellbinding.

Only the best will be chosen.
And only the Men decide.

Väikeses Iiri linnakeses on alanud suvi. Emma O’Donovan on saanud äsja 18-aastaseks, ta on piltilus ja enesekindel. Ühel õhtul peavad linnakese noored pidu. Kõik on kohal. Kõigi pilgud on Emmal. Järgmisel hommikul ärkab tüdruk kodumaja verandal. Ta ei mäleta midagi eelnenud ööst ega tea, miks kogu ta keha niimoodi valutab. Küll aga teab seda kogu ülejäänud linn.
Peol tehtud fotodelt on üksikasjalikult näha, mis Emmaga juhtus. Mõnikord ei ole aga inimesed valmis oma silmi uskuma. Eriti siis, kui karm tõde käib linnakese kangelaste kohta.
Iiri kirjaniku Louise O’Neilli (snd 1985) raamatud on väärt kogu seda kära, mis nende ilmumisega on kaasas käinud. Juba tema esimene romaan „Only Ever Yours“ (2014) pani kirjandusringkonnad kihama ja noored lugejad ülevoolavaid fännikirju saatma. Samasugune kõrgendatud tähelepanu on saatnud ka „Sai mis tahtis“ ilmumist, mida Goodreadsi lugejad on hinnanud hindega 4,1.
O’Neill vaatleb halastamatult ausalt, kust jookseb piir vägistamise ja vastastikusel nõusolekul toimuva vahekorra vahel ja kuidas toimib ohvri häbistamine nutitelefonide ajastul.

It's the beginning of the summer in a small town in Ireland. Emma O'Donovan is eighteen years old, beautiful, happy, confident.
One night, there's a party. Everyone is there. All eyes are on Emma.
The next morning, she wakes on the front porch of her house. She can't remember what happened, she doesn't know how she got there.
She doesn't know why she's in pain.
But everyone else does. Photographs taken at the party show, in explicit detail, what happened to Emma that night.
But sometimes people don't want to believe what is right in front of them, especially when the truth concerns the town's heroes . . .

In a world in which baby girls are no longer born naturally, women are bred in schools, trained in the arts of pleasing men until they are ready for the outside world. At graduation, the most highly rated girls become “companions”, permitted to live with their husbands and breed sons until they are no longer useful. For the girls left behind, the future – as a concubine or a teacher – is grim. Best friends Freida and Isabel are sure they’ll be chosen as companions – they are among the most highly rated girls in their year. But as the intensity of final year takes hold, Isabel does the unthinkable and starts to put on weight.…

freida and isabel have been best friends their whole lives. Now, aged sixteen and in their final year at the School, they expect to be selected as companions - wives to wealthy and powerful men.

The alternative - life as a concubine - is too horrible to contemplate.

But as the intensity of the final year takes hold, the pressure to be perfect mounts. isabel starts to self-destruct, putting her beauty - her only asset - in peril.

And then into this sealed female environment, the boys arrive, eager to choose a bride.

freida must fight for her future - even if it means betraying the only friend, the only love, she has ever known...

Ole tubli. Ole ilus. Ole v?ljavalitu. Maailmas, kus t?drukuid enam loomulikul teel ei s?nni, aretatakse naisi spetsiaalsetes koolides. Kinnisest s?steemist p??sevad neiud alles siis, kui nad on v?lismaailma jaoks k?psed. Eriliste k?itumisreeglite ja hindamiskriteeriumide p?hjal edetabeli tippu j?udnud koolil?petajatest saavad „kaaslased“ – meeste v?ljavalitud, kellel lubatakse elu viljaka perioodi jooksul teenida abikaasat ja s?nnitada poegi. ?lej??nute tulevik on s?nge – nemad peavad leppima konkubiini- v?i ?petajarolliga. &t;br/&t; Freida ja Isabel on parimad s?brannad, kes usuvad, et neistki saavad m?ne mehe kaaslased – nad on alati olnud oma aastak?igu parimate seas. Aga kui viimasel kooliaastal pinge aina kasvab, juhtub Isabeliga midagi m?eldamatut ja ta hakkab kaalus juurde v?tma … P??sta pole enam midagi, sest juba saabuvad innukad noormehed kooli pruuti valima. Freida peab v?itlema oma tuleviku eest, kuid ainus viis seda teha on reeta oma t?eline s?ber ja ainuke inimene, keda ta kunagi on armastanud. &t;br/&t; Iiri kirjanik Louise O’Neill on ?ppinud ?likoolis nii inglise keelt ja kirjandust kui ka moekaubandust. 2010. aastal oli ta praktikal New Yorgis ajakirja Elle peastilisti assistendina. Iirimaale naasnud, asus ta kirjutama romaani „Igavesti vaid sinu“, mis ilmus 2014. aastal ja v?eti erakordselt soojalt vastu. O’Neilli l?bitungivat pilku ja oskust paljastada naistega seotud ?hiskondlikke hoiakuid on tunnustanud mitmete kirjandusauhindadega, sealhulgas p?lvis ta 2014. aasta parima iiri raamatu preemia. Kirjastuselt Varrak on ilmunud varem O’Neilli romaan „Sai mis tahtis”. &t;br/&t; S?gav, s?nge ja hirmu?ratavalt t?etruu. –
