A review by theelliad
Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
3.0
This book made me both deeply uncomfortable and left me speechless from its misplaced philosophical takes on love, trauma, learning, addiction and aging- if we ignore the wattpad level sex scenes which were both much too frequent and too little in purpose, this book really was quite good. It’s very ‘Normal People’ in its lack of plot and its two badly matched people with many many issues who you continue to route for despite it! There was both relatable and hateable elements to every character which is always fun for me. However- READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS AND DO NOT READ/AUDIOBOOK THIS IN PUBLIC
