Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match: A Novel

Product Information

witty banter, a sexy, toe-curling romance, and voice that pirouettes off the page, but add one part Tim Burton’ CHRISTINA LAUREN’Bridgerton meets The Addams Family . 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.

And when, of course, he is brought back to life, you have to kind of side-eye the whole "was dead and now mostly alive-ish" element being sold to you as sexy and romantic when it's really not. I don’t want it to come across that I am excessively condemning Angelika for doing the very thing that men have been doing in fiction literally since before Jesus. Who doesn’t root for a heroine whose value isn’t recognised by her society and who hasn’t, at some point, thought life would be infinitely easier, if we couldn’t just build ourselves a custom partner from bits of dead people. Or maybe I’m just a really unforgiving person and that’s something you should all bear in mind if you ever decide to blend me like a Spotify playlist and then animate my corpse to be your sextoy.Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Of course, it’s also really well-written, there’s some wonderful moments of sexiness, banter and pathos, and I felt Sally Thorne adapted her voice super successfully to an irreverent histrom style. Another thing I've seen other reviewers complaining about is the element of religion in this book, being thrown in the plot like a life jacket. Jelly is the lonely, horny, enterprising heroine of my heart, Will is the most adorable love interest to ever grace a book, and then there's the plot, which is deliciously bonkers and utterly unique!

If feels as if she is being left behind all alone, with no partner to share her privileged life with. 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. Her resurrected beau (named Will for the moment) has total amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity.this time the power imbalance -- wealthy spoiled woman, undead nobody with no memory, heavily reliant on said wealthy woman -- is also layered with consent issues because he literally had no say with a) coming back to life and b) the parts of his body she kept or replaced. However, at about the 50% mark the book becomes overrun with religious overtones, even making the love interest a Priest.

For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. There is no thought about those people being actual human beings and the ramifications of what this act could be.Angelika and Victor scour the morgue for fresh dead bodies that Angelika likes the look of, because they are building (and re-animating) her a husband. Obviously, resurrecting someone for your personal gain is all kinds of morally wrong but this is a Frankenstein retelling so I digress. However, I think you do have to let this book just be what it is and not think too hard about the weird bits that don't quite work. I'm definitely glad I gave it a chance because I do think Thorne has shown she can do more than just contemporary, and she can be weird, poke around into different spaces, and that's all good. When assisting in her brother Victor's ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realizes that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her.
