Hi bookworms and welcome to my review of Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne! I was sent this ARC copy by HarperCollins Canada in exchange for an honest review. This book is currently available in stores. content warnings
Violence, death, mentions of sexual harassment This historical rom-com follows Angelika Frankenstein who has run out of suitors, and as time goes on she worries that she’ll never find her true love. So her and her brother Victor undertake the ultimate challenge, to bring a reassembled man back to life. But to her disappointment, when her handsome creation wakes up he’s plagued by amnesia and is intent on uncovering his true identity. Reluctantly she agrees to help him. Along the way Angelika will learn a lot about herself, and answer the question, can true love be created in the laboratory?
The classic Frankenstein is so intriguing, with its moral and ethical commentary and exciting sci-fi elements. That's why I was excited to read a more romantic take on this well known story. I had a lot of fun reading this! Angelika starts off as a very unlikeable character, but I enjoyed seeing her grow as time went on. I found myself enjoying her character more and more, and her quirks were what made her loveable! The mystery of who Will truly was before he died was an exciting subplot. Seeing Angelika, Will, and Victor uncover bits and pieces of Will's past life really picked up the pace of the story. Overall the romance was fun to read about but I wasn't a huge fan of the love triangle. Will and Angelika's chemistry also felt a bit like it came out of nowhere but looking past that, they were really cute together! The writing flowed nicely and I felt that the beginning of the book was particularly strong. I listened to the audiobook and definitely recommend it, the narrator does a great job of capturing the essence of each character. A cute and romantic retelling of the gothic classic, I gave this book 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's all for my review of Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match! I hope you enjoyed it.
