My boyfriend chose, at random, a book for me to read off my tbr and I’m so glad this was the one! My only complaint is that I feel like some characters didn’t get quite the wrap up to their storylines that I wanted to see. Definitely left me wanting more!

i don't know - maybe i'm finding that i'm actually a sucker for books that star with really hot, really sad girls and the men in their lives who either save them or got them that way. something about cleopatra and frankenstein really sticks with you, in a way that permanently alters the way you view other people, or yourself in love, or yourself in turmoil. i'm so grateful that this is the book that started my 2023, and i can't wait to see what comes next for coco mellors.
