Quite possibly the strangest, most whimsical historical Rom-Com I’ve ever read, I loved every second of it!

Definitely different from Sally Thorn’s other work but if you love a quirky, eccentric and confident FMCs then you’ll absolutely love Angelika. The romance was actually rather sweet (once you get past the whole raising a man from the dead after shopping for body parts at the morgue), I also loved the way consent was handled when it came to their relationship —this might just be my all time fave reimagining of Frankenstein.

It’s is fairly lighthearted but given subject material, I’d still suggest checking TW/CWs

Love Sally Thorne. This was a big swing for the fences and I really appreciate authors who take risks. Rarely while reading romance am I unsure of how things will turn out. I wasn’t really able to connect with the main characters enough to feel the usual investment in their love story, but the plot had enough going for it and there were enough entertaining side characters to keep me invested. Not for everyone and if you’re a usual Sally reader it’s not like anything she’s done before.

I have this ongoing problem with Sally Thorne books where there's so much dialogue that I can't actually keep track of where the characters are and what's going on in the scene. It worked in The Hating Game, but both this and 99 Percent Mine I kept losing track of what was going on at any giving time.

The premise was definitely interesting, but the execution, not as much. Sally Thorne of one of the booktok famous authors with The Hating Game and thought maybe this newest book will be good. Haven't read The Hating Game, but if the writing style is similar, my ambivalence towards booktok recommendations is affirmed once again.

Characters improved a bit towards the end, but Will's sudden change of heart did not make sense to me. The characters felt flat for at least 65% of the book.
