As a fellow English nerd who is obsessed with Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, I ate this up. This is probably one of my favorite Frankenstein retellings to date. I felt like Kiersten White really built things up for the reader before ripping the curtain away from our eyes to reveal the sinister depravity of Victor Frankenstein. And I loved every minute, even when things were dark and morose. Truly such a great retelling of the classic Frankenstein story!

I know this book is brilliant. But somehow I always forget how good it actually is. Elizabeth is the perfect protagonist, you know she's privilege by he looks, but that hasn't gotten her anywhere, it's here brain. How she adapts to survive, the lengths she goes to protect herself and the ones she loves. When everything breaks apart it's like that Elizabeth does no longer exist and we start getting glimpses of what is going to be the new Elizabeth, it's wonderful. K.White really is a genius for being able to write this mesmerizing book
