It is the summer of 2019, and Sophie Evans, the reckless protagonist of Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett's unsettling second novel, has arrived on an idyllic island in the Cyclades with her university friends Helena, Iris and Alessia to celebrate Helena's forthcoming marriage. Helena doesn't want it called her hen Like we're dumpy little featherbrains going cluck, cluck, cluck, but all the same, the men including Sophie's curator boyfriend of six years, Greg will not arrive for another five days.

We open with Millie ( Sydney Sweeney) down on her luck, desperately trying to find a job when Nina Winchester ( Amanda Seyfried) offers her a role as a live-in housemaid. Things start well - Millie copes with Nina's neuroticism and extreme mood swings. She meets Nina's perfect, rich and dishy husband Andrew (Brandon Sklenar) and daughter Cece (Indiana Elle). But good things don't last. Obviously there are some spoilers ahead, read on at your own risk.
