Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne
4.0
“I feel like I live in a crack between worlds, and sometimes I feel like I might die inside it.”
I'd like to thank HarperCollins Canada for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!

The classic Frankenstein is so intriguing, with its moral and ethical commentary and exciting sci-fi elements. That's why I was excited to read a more romantic take on this well known story. I had a lot of fun reading this! Angelika starts off as a very unlikeable character, but I enjoyed seeing her grow as time went on. I found myself enjoying her character more and more, and her quirks were what made her loveable! The mystery of who Will truly was before he died was an exciting subplot. Seeing Angelika, Will, and Victor uncover bits and pieces of Will's past life really picked up the pace of the story. Overall the romance was fun to read about but I wasn't a huge fan of the love triangle. Will and Angelika's chemistry also felt a bit like it came out of nowhere but looking past that, they were really cute together! The writing flowed nicely and I felt that the beginning of the book was particularly strong. I listened to the audiobook and definitely recommend it, the narrator does a great job of capturing the essence of each character. A cute and romantic retelling of the gothic classic.
