Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is marketed as a Lizzie Borden retelling, but unfortunately, if you are even mildly versed in that particular true-crime case- you'll be disappointed. This book has all the pieces of a truly unique thriller but the writing and attempt at retelling fails to provide it. You read primarily from Charlotte's point of view, Maddie's being very secondary. For some reason, the author included every single irrelevant thought process and internal dialouge for Charlotte. This ruined any interest I had in the book and frequently made me want to scream.
