If you wanna read it to see what all the hype is about, borrow it from a library, don't give your money to a transphobic author.
The cis straight characters get good development and satisfying arcs, even giving up realism in the case of
It took me a while of digesting the book to realize how deeply transphobic it was, so I see why a lot of people miss it, specially when the main character's stories are so compelling. Eleanor's chapter was my favorite in the book and I enjoyed it very much.
So I don't throw the 7 years it took Coco Melliors to finish this book in the trash, but I do think her transphobic views belong there. Like, girl, in 7 years you couldn't learn to view trans women as humans deserving respect and decent representation? Or at least to use the correct pronouns? This book could've been a 5 star if she had.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein is a literary fiction masterpiece and in-depth character study. It’s the type of book that readers need to put some work into — you learn about the characters passively, by connecting the dots between their dialogue and their actions/behaviors. It’s a book worth annotating because so much is said between the lines.
Throughout the book you go from loving Cleo and Frank to hating them both, individually and as a couple. They’re messy, flawed, toxic people who bring out the worst in each other, and yet: “when the darkest part of you meets the darkest part of me, it creates light.”
It’s as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. It’s raw, it’s messy, it’s human. 5/5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Definitely adult content w/ triggering subjects. Check for content warnings ❤️🩹
