Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match: A Novel

Product Information

I loved how authentic he felt as a character even though the way he spoke and really everything about what he said did not fit into the historical time period at all. I told myself that after the last Sally Thorne novel, Second First Impressions, that obviously whatever it was that had made me love The Hating Game so much, was a one off. But this is not remotely the nail in the coffin that I expected it to be (everything post-THE HATING GAME has been unpredictable) and I look forward to seeing what she does, and where she goes, next.

Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, Angelika reluctantly joins the investigation into his past, hoping it will bring them closer.

i also got uncomfy vibes from a subplot that seemed to drive home the idea that sure, angelika could be free and travel all over and be an intellectual who is Opinionated and Forthright but man, she also could stay home and have KIDS.
