About this ebook

“Startling, visceral, and heartbreaking.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

From acclaimed author Dawn Ius comes an edge-of-your-seat reimagining of one of the most chilling mysteries in modern history—Lizzie Borden.

Seventeen-year-old Lizzie Borden has never been kissed. Polite but painfully shy, Lizzie prefers to stay in the kitchen, where she can dream of becoming a chef and escape her reality. With tyrannical parents who force her to work at the family’s B&B and her blackout episodes—a medical condition that has plagued her since her first menstrual cycle—Lizzie longs for a life of freedom, the time and space to just figure out who she is and what she wants.

Enter the effervescent, unpredictable Bridget Sullivan. Bridget has joined the B&B’s staff as the new maid, and Lizzie is instantly drawn to her artistic style and free spirit—even her Star Wars obsession is kind of cute. The two of them forge bonds that quickly turn into something that’s maybe more than friendship.

But when her parents try to restrain Lizzie from living the life she wants, it sparks something in her that she can’t quite figure out. Her blackout episodes start getting worse, her instincts less and less reliable. Lizzie is angry, certainly, but she also feels like she’s going mad…

    I purchased this book from Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. ????? Lizzie by Dawn Ius. A new twist on of the most famous unsolved murders in America. Ius takes an old murder twists it with modern day characters and puts a new spin on Lizzie Borden. I loved it. I must say though I have been curious about Lizzie Borden since I was in High School so anything that has a Lizzie twist in it is exactly my kind of story! I loved this story and as with the mystery of why Lizzie why, this adds new moments of aha and oh that could be that I would have never thought. I adored this one.
