are there any romance heavy frankenstein retellings?

I know there are different iterations of the bride of frankenstein, but they typically end in the brides demise after turning down the creature. I'm more interested in a version where someone falls in love with the creature. i'm happy to watch movies or read books, i just really want to see an idea thats interested me for years. the only example I can really think of is the 2024 movie lisa frankenstein

Life with helicopter parents ; I think I'm doomed

I turn 16 in July. I have no experience with anything I should. My parents don't allow me to go out with friends, not to public places, not to their houses, not even anyone coming over. They insist on them both having both of a friends parents phone numbers but then complain about always being the ones to text invites. I'm not allowed to get a driving permit, I'm not allowed to get a job, I'm not allowed to volunteer, I'm not allowed to join school clubs or anything out of school. They complain I spend all my free time in my room. I'm not supposed to have social media, I'm not allowed to get someone's number without permission, and I'm not allowed to download apps. I'm not even fucking allowed to do my own laundry.

They have no reason to do this. I've always had straight A's, I've been any typical good kid for the majority of my life. I'm terrified to get out because I have utterly no clue what I'm doing. It's not even like any of this has protected me. I've been abused, raped, and groomed. I've had sex and smoked weed. All they have done is ruined my life and given me no way to express myself or learn to socialize. I have crippling social anxiety and I've had multiple suicide attempts since age 10. All they've done is created an environment where I have no way of getting help. I'm so fucking scared. I have literally nothing.
