Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne
5.0
✨🧵Frankenstein’s Monster…Cock🪡✨
This book was ABSURD and absolutely amazing. It’s easily one of my top 5 reads of the year. Everything about it was so unexpected and hilarious. I truly didn’t know how it was going to end. Nor did I expect it to begin the way it began. Cock shopping was a new one, I must admit.
Angelika had so much heart and I really loved her journey from start to finish. She wasn’t perfect, but she was truly good. Will and Angelika, however, were truly the perfect match. My sensibilities have been properly confused and utterly ravished. Will was an absolute cinnamon roll, but he had a bit of an edge that drove me wild. Also his wayward cock was so funny, down boy 😭
The romance was super slow burn, but the steam was so great??? I didn’t know what to expect and I prepared for closed door, but they were a little bit freaky!! We got a few scenes and honestly some of the lines are truly iconic. They will live in a gorgeous, decrepit mansion in my mind rent free. (The explicit language was pretty minimal, but I’ve been hurt a lot in this reading journey of mine so I’m counting this as a major victory.)
The mystery of who Will was had me guessing until the end and I loved the pace at which it was unraveled. There was a minor love triangle, but I actually really liked how that wrapped up as well! I also loved the ode to Shelley’s Frankenstein at the end.
I fear I was not strong enough for this book. I cried so much and I really don’t think I’ll ever be the same. I cried at parts that weren’t even supposed to make me cry. I was eating up the pages even though I was desperate to make it last as long as possible. I was in SHAMBLES trying to figure out how Will and Angelika would make it work.
Sally’s writing has always spoken for itself and while this one speaks of dismembered body parts and gothic mansions, it was no exception. Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match truly felt tailor-made to my exact hopes and dreams. There was humor, steam, and enough absurdity to keep me guessing every page. It’s a beautiful, weird, mildly creepy thing and I love it to well-endowed pieces.
I started reading this at night at a campfire and the ambiance was perfect. This will be THE read of fall for me, I can’t wait for the audiobook and a mug of apple cider.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶🌶🌶*/5
*honestly what the fuck just happened lmao it could probably be 2.5-2.75🌶 but this did something unholy to me
Thanks so much to the publisher for a gifted finished copy. All opinions are honest and my own.

I had no business crying this much 😭 I really didn’t know how it was going to end but oh my GAWD I loved it so much definitely top 5 of the year. It was literally so absurd and I was truly not prepared for cock shopping to say the least but who am I to judge? I love a good sale.
