Cleopatra and Frankenstine by CoCo Mellors
I started this book blindly, I had seen the cover on Lemon8 and loved it. Obviously I added it to my tbr and then soon after bought it on my kindle and omg do I wish this book was free on KIndle Unlimited because Iām kind of annoyed that I paid for it LOL (just me being dramatic about liking some parts but not the book as a whole). Now see I completely understand why Elenor was so crucial to Franks story but we did not need to know that much about her life. Sheās boring, her dad died, sheās the reason Frank wanted to be better, all of the important things about her that make Frank fall for her could have easily fit into one maybe two chapters if youāre pushing it. But I didnāt need so many pages about her. Another thing is this book needs a small self harming warning ā ļø fr, I mean the scene isnāt too graphic but the way Frank describes his experience and emotions with Cleoās incident definitely hit the heart strings if you or anyone you know has been in a self harming situation. AND the way Cleo āprocessesā her mental situation with an installation for her art show for everyone to see and relive disgusted me and I completely understand the constant shift in Franks words with and about her. Other than that I hope Santiago and Dominique live the happiest and most fulfilled life together š«¶.
