This book surprised me! I think just because it's marketed as YA, I expected something a little more romanticized and shallower (not a dig, just a target-audience thing). But this was fabulous. It was, indeed, dark and emotional. I don't know what it was about Elizabeth, but she really got to me. I teared up multiple times throughout this book. Now I'm going to start a reread of Frankenstein.
