HOW TO GET A GIRLFRIEND WHEN YOU'RE A TERRIFYING MONSTER was an impulse buy. I love that it starts out in a liminal space occupied by a monster known as the Endless. The monster heroine, Trillin, is a shape-shifting shard that chipped off of the whole. She's developed both a sense of consciousness and irony, and knows that if the Endless finds her again, it will devour her.
Luckily, its attention is occupied by a portal that keeps opening in their realm. The portal is opened by an Australian witch named Sian, who is working with her professor. They're studying portals and Sian is fascinated by the Endless. When she meets Sian, she is enchanted, especially when Sian saves her from being eaten by another "shard."
This was short and cute. The writing was great and I liked the dry humor and the introduction of a pet cat-bunny-tentacle creature named Bunny. I wish there had been more depth to the world-building and more chemistry between the MCs, but if you're looking for a short, sweet sapphic monster romance, you will probably really enjoy this.
2.5 to 3 out of 5 stars
