   Summary

   Francesca has perfected the art of the Love Island performance. The pool-side bikinis, the patience, the hollow, scripted devotion to dreadful men who don’t even know who she is. She knows her lines, and she knows exactly when the curtain is supposed to fall.

   Michaela is the only one who sees through the act, and she is far more interested in dismantling Francesca than she is in winning the prize money.

   They say the island changes you. They do not tell you it starts by peeling you open, piece by piece, until you are begging the person who ruined you to never stop.
