I really enjoyed this version of Dr. Jekyll and Hyde.
I don't even remember the last time I read a book that was either a retelling of these two.. or made me think of them - ya know? Henrietta & Eleanor were pretty entertaining. I will admit I was a bit hesitant on how the women would be in this book but I definitely enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.
It has been a while since I read Jekyll and Hyde but from what I can remember.. this book did a pretty good job. I feel like women are constantly underestimated so that's probably why I loved this version so much. Henrietta is a pretty good doctor, well - actually she's the best in her field. Her one downfall: loving alcohol, partying it up, and sex. Sounds like a fun person to be around - just saying.
Then there's Eleanor.. who is pretty dangerous the more times she comes out to play. These two made the book a lot more interesting and definitely a page turner. If I could change one thing - it would be to make this an actual book. I would've loved to have endless pages about these two.
