It Will End Like This

If you enjoyed The Cheerleaders and Sadie, then you’re in for a treat with this psychological thriller that dives into the messy reality of life, where endings often lack the neatness of a fairy tale. This modern retelling of the Lizzie Borden saga delves into the profound impact of grief, illustrating how it can leave deep scars that are hard to heal.

The narrative invites readers to explore the complexities of loss and the shadows it casts on those left behind, making it a gripping read for anyone who appreciates a darker twist on familiar tales.

Charlotte is still reeling from the loss of her mother, who passed away six months ago under mysterious circumstances. The official story claims her heart simply stopped, but Charlotte feels an unsettling intuition that there’s more lurking beneath the surface. The unanswered questions gnaw at her, creating a sense of urgency to uncover the truth about that fateful day. It’s a haunting experience, as she grapples with the reality that the people around her seem to be moving on, while she remains trapped in a cycle of confusion and sorrow.

The only person who truly understands Charlotte’s turmoil is her sister, Maddi. Together, they share a bond forged in grief, and Maddi echoes Charlotte’s suspicions—hearts don’t just stop without reason. As their father begins to rebuild his life with their mother’s former assistant, the sisters feel a growing sense of betrayal and fear that their mother’s legacy is slipping away. Determined to reclaim their lives and confront the unsettling truths that have been buried, Charlotte and Maddi realize that they must take control of their narrative and decide how their story unfolds, rather than letting others dictate it for them.
