women in stem™  makes terrifying but deeply sympathetic creature 

When Mary discovers the notes of her great uncle Victor Frankenstein, she, with the help of her disgraced and childish husband, stitches together her own eldritch dinosaur-esque creature in a desperate plot to prove her worth as a scientist, all while trying to avoid her feelings for her husband’s sister. 

The book had some pacing issues— it starts off slow and wraps up very quickly, but the story held my attention well enough that I found I did not mind. 

This dark & whimsical novel investigates a unique allegory to grief, motherhood, and queerness.
