Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne

Synopsis without spoilers:

Our FMC Angelika is Victor Frankenstein's sister and pseudo-partner in scientific crime (and it is crime; they are literally buying dead bodies from the sketchy morgue manager before the medical students can get to them). Angelika has had no luck in love, mostly because men do not want women with a high-functioning brain doing things like "reading" and "thinking" and "reanimating corpses in their brother's laboratory." So, due to the lack of available suitors, and the availability of the aforementioned reanimation laboratory, I think you know where this is going. And it does. It does go there. And they do; I think you already knew that. And overall, it's just...okay.  

I had a hard time finishing this, and it wasn't the writing; Sally Thorne knows how to write fun, engaging books with great spice. This just wasn't that. There was so much potential here to talk about the way women's bodies are objectified and commodified and how that playing field is somewhat evened when a woman is able to do the same to a man, right down to picking out his penis. Instead we waste time on love triangles and baby fever and attempts at sexual coercion.   

I'm just bitter because I was so excited for this premise and I was ready to be a little weirded out and a lot delighted and I was only a very slightly bit delighted and a lot frustrated and bored. My tolerance for distress is at an all-time low, presently; I really need a literary win.
