Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
3.5
Not as interesting as I thought. The summary made it seem like it was only going to be about Cleo and Frank so I was a bit surprised at the other 4 or 5 POVs we got! They were refreshing but I don’t think any character was strong enough to have a whole story in their voice. I do like “no plots just vibes” kind of novels but I found this one dragging and not relatable. The writing though, at times, was beautiful and breathtaking. I hope Blue Sisters shows growth!

I wish I could tell you what happened. I listened to the audiobook and BOY lemme tell you the voice the voice actor was using was beyond annoying.
