Three women—Lisa, Holly, and Penny—are driven to a deadly pact by their abusive partners, with their backstories of isolation, physical limitation, and immense wealth contrasting with the threats they face. Simon subjects Lisa to violence and cycles of manipulation, while Will exploits trainer Holly financially, and serial cheater Drake places businesswoman Penny’s family in danger.
While the story hooks you right from the first page, the execution is deeply unrealistic. Enjoying the ending requires a massive suspension of disbelief to accept how effortlessly the women evade the consequences of their actions.
