Cleopatra and Frankenstein is a book whose narrative changes as the story goes on. LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD FOR STRUCTURE -
For people who would like to read this, be warned that there is a lot of drug use and sex throughout this book, and some topics that some people may dislike or be triggered by!

The author does have a way of digesting hard themes with her easily flowing writing style, which made this book actually readable.
Wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but I am going to see what the author comes up with next 🪩⚡🤍

!! spoilers:
cleo and frank needed to go through everything there was to go through to realize that soulmates aren't always lovers. they weren't meant to be together, yet they were still meant to be in each other's lives. when their darkest parts met, they did end up creating light, just not in the way they thought they would.

I’ve heard some people say how they did not enjoy the book for its lack of plot but in my opinion that’s kind of the point, the story follows the life’s of several characters and how they deal with their pain and work and relationships but that’s pretty much it, there’s no difficult plot. This was what made the story that much more lovable to me. Getting to know these characters on a deeper level, even having the chance to often relate to them. Other than that I feel like this book has taught me a lot of small but necessary life lessons, or at least has opened my eyes to see them.
I loved this book however, if you do not enjoy books which are character driven or which have triggering moments surrounding suicide and drug abuse then I wouldn’t recommend it. Otherwise I say this is so worth the read!!!
