Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match: A Novel

Product Information

no like this made me so uncomfortable like the amount of time there were mentions of dicks and childish penis jokes you would’ve thought this shit was written by a man. a historical rom-com that imagines Victor Frankenstein's sheltered younger sister, and her attempts to create the perfect man. I didn’t find myself frustrated with the romance part of this book because of characters like Victor’s fiancé Lizzie who is a duchess but isn’t a duchess, and Clara the poor widow down the lane and her chubby baby Edwin and her soulful puppy eyes at Christopher but also didn’t her husband JUST DIE?

the entire first chapter is Angelika going into a morgue, making fun of a dead body for being inadequate and then sewing a bigger, better dick on him. I struggled with quitting at certain points, but I wanted to see it through to the end to see if they would win me over. Angelika successfully brings back the perfect man, who she names Will and hopes will fall in love with her as quickly as she fell in love with him (before he even took his first breath).It's massively obvious who she would end up with and honestly, both dudes aren't well developed enough for you to care one way or the other. In that the sense that the various plot threads are resolved via an extremely literal deus ex machina. However, I was quite disappointed with the romance aspect, and the characters did not endear me to them which left me wanting a lot more. Except there are things near the end I did not love, and won't mention due to spoilers, but are tied up in both what the Frankenstein's believe to be part of their foundation and, as it turns out, Will's, and how that all comes together.

Further disclaimer: Readers, please stop accusing me of trying to take down “my competition” because I wrote a review you didn’t like.This is Sally Thorne at her absolute best - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author You may also be interested in. For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. In AFMHM, Angelika’s complicity in choices that objectify, dehumanise, and disempower her love interest is mostly … played for laughs? all of this was cloaked in decent writing and as a result i didn't fully realize how ridiculous the plot was until i explained it out loud to someone.
