Lizzie

Trade Paperback

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 familys 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&Bs 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 thats 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 cant quite figure out. Her blackout episodes start getting worse, her instincts less and less reliable. Lizzie is angry, certainly, but she also feels like shes going mad
