i found the writing style so easy to read, which was such a strength because it is not an easy read otherwise. i actually liked the characters but i thought it was a shame that some of the side characters got meh endings, no real conclusion for their story

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.
