Description
The Things We Do to Our Friends follows Clare, a young woman desperate to reinvent herself when she arrives at the University of Edinburgh. Socially adrift and hungry for belonging, she is pulled into the orbit of Tabitha—radiant, theatrical, and dangerously persuasive—along with Tabitha’s tight inner circle, Ava, Imogen, and Samuel.
What begins as glamorous dinners and whispered myths becomes a secret enterprise: a “premium” honey-trap service designed to test wealthy husbands for their wives. As Clare becomes the group’s most effective weapon, the work escalates from surveillance and flirtation to violence, coercion, and elaborate punishment. When a high-stakes weekend in the Highlands ends in an attack that shatters Clare’s sense of control, the clique begins to implode—until a final confrontation turns “friendship” into a life sentence.
