Three sisters live with their parents on an island, where they have been taught that anything outside their borders is unsafe because women are killed. Their Father is the only Man they've ever known, and they've been told all Men are monsters that will kill. They've grown up with certain "therapies" to help keep them alive, and trained for battle if they come in contact with a Man. When their Father dies, and three Men wash up on the island, the sisters, very naive to anything besides what they were taught, are fighting against attraction and the need to feel less lonely to stay true to how they were raised.
This gave me "The Village" vibes the entire time I was reading it, and I was so curious to find out why these parents kept their daughters secluded on the island. I was left questioning a lot of things, and was really hoping for more out of the ending. I've even tried looking up reviews to see if I've just missed something, but it doesn't look like it due to a lot of people feeling the same way I did.
