Reviews with content warning for Rape - Angelika Frankenstein Makes her Match: Sexy and quirky - the unmissable read from the author of TikTok-hit The Hating Game

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.

Such a delightfully fun, silly, gothic adaptation that accomplished exactly what it set out to do! If you went into this book expecting a modern rom-com with all the usual tropes and themes, Angelika Frankenstein would surely be a disappointment. Instead, it's a wacky fan fiction that loves poking fun at itself, while exploring big themes of religion, confidence, and wealth in interesting ways. My only complaint is the picture-perfect ending, especially the romance's conclusion; although the insinuation of Mary Shelley's famous tale was a silver lining. This novel is certainly something different, but the book knows it — and I love it.
