Helga

I don't really know what to think of Helga as a whole. 
I didn't have any issue getting into the story, but I think it was because I was confused while reading and wanted the answers to my confusion. 
I didn't understand the connections Helga made to rebel. It just felt like she did so because she didn't know anything else, and because she didn't want to be like her dad, so she did the opposite. 
Also her infatuation with Clyde???? The build up to it just didn't make sense. She just latched on to him like a leech, and he was just the absolute worst. Made borderline racist comments to her face, and never remembered her name. 
I just couldn't figure this book out. At first blamed myself. Since this is a retelling, and I haven't read Frankenstein in years I thought that's where I was missing the connection. And after further research... no that's not what I was missing I think this book was just an overall miss when it came to retelling the story of Frankenstein. Not that it had to be spot on or anything but... 

Thank you @pagestreetya for the arc copy!
