This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee

5.0

this book is honestly phenomenal, and a very unique Frankenstein retelling that's still inherently original while paying homage to the text. some parts seem childish, mainly involving the shoehorning of Mary Shelley, but I have no complaints about any other part of this novel. really well written, relatable, and covers oppression really well, as well as an LGBTQ+ main character (without feeling forced whatsoever). absolutely read this book, you will NOT regret it.
