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\u2019s B&amp;B and her blackout episodes\u2014a medical condition that has plagued her since her first menstrual cycle\u2014Lizzie longs for a life of freedom, the time and space to just figure out who she is and what she wants.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the effervescent, unpredictable Bridget Sullivan. Bridget has joined the B&amp;B\u2019s staff as the new maid, and Lizzie is instantly drawn to her artistic style and free spirit\u2014even her Star Wars obsession is kind of cute. The two of them forge bonds that quickly turn into something that\u2019s maybe more than friendship.<\/p>\n<p>But when her parents try to restrain Lizzie from living the life she wants, it sparks something in her that she can\u2019t 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\u2019s going mad\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lizzie-Dawn-Ius-ebook\/dp\/B074ZKMW6G\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lizzie\/id1273765640?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/apple.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Apple\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/lizzie-dawn-ius\/1126512028?ean=9781481490788&st=AFF&2sid=Goodreads,%20Inc_2227948_NA&sourceId=AFFGoodreads,%20Inc#\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/bn.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Barnes & Noble\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/lizzie-13\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/kobo.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Kobo\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781481490764\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/indiebound.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Indiebound\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/36101161-lizzie\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/3stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0002_3-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"3 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/young-adult\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"117\" height=\"101\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/categories_0000_young-adult-copy.png?fit=117%2C101&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"young adult\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2018-04-11T03:35:45+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nTrigger warnings: \\r\\n\\r\\nWhen I first heard there was a YA reimagining of the Lizzie Borden, I was so excited! \\u00a0Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.\\r\\n\\u201cWhat if my family \",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Llama Reads Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/04\\\/10\\\/review-lizzie-dawn-ius\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Lizzie\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Dawn Ius\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"1481490788\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"ReadingLlama\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": 3,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<hr \/>\n<p>Trigger warnings: <span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">verbal, emotional and physical abuse, cutting, homophobia <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When I first heard there was a YA reimagining of the Lizzie Borden, I was so excited! \u00a0Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t quite live up to my expectations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat if my family is right?
