I wish this book gave us more of Zoe. She was a funny, insufferable, not entirely likable character.
I hated the way Cleo was described throughout this book. We GET IT. She’s young! Blonde! Small! English! Angelic! Intense! If I have to read one more sentence about how innocent and cherubic and childlike she looks I’ll scream.
I liked Eleanor alot. She was clever and raw. When the book was in Eleanor’s point of view I actually enjoyed the prose.
In summation, good for them I guess.

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 ❤️🩹
