Cleopatra and Frankenstein is easily a five-star from me! Emotional, captivating, and devastating all at once! I didn’t want this book to end! Really loved how New York felt like this oppressive yet magical other character within the book. The character-driven plot and how each character in the book orbits one another was my favourite thing about the book. Coco Mellors’ characterisation felt so effortlessly real. If you haven’t read this book, you must.
