I think she was my fav person in the book. I kneeew that Alex was bad for him tbh (I thought it was cute in the beginning in Quentin‘s POV but then in the other people‘s POV i saw the problematic)

Quentin is very strange and I was always a bit scared of him tbh because he’s just so uncomfortable. A lot of things were predictable in this book but there were also plottwists so it’s fine if. Her and Frank‘s relationship was something I also never liked. The two chapters that were Eleanor‘s POV i didn’t like, I don’t know why there were that many small paragraphs with stuff I don’t care about. The chapters are quite long but that didn’t bother me very much- the usual POV‘S are Cleo and Frank but you got like 1-2 chapters in the POV of Zoe, Eleanor, Quentin and Santiago I like Cleo sometimes too, she can be relatable. I Never liked Cleo and Frank‘s Relationship (i don’t like the age gap) and I don’t like them both that much.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.Soooo many ts songs reminded me of this book!!!ĭeeply flawed characters and toxic relationships. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year’s Eve party changes everything, for better or worse. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that’s Cleo’s best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank’s financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art-and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card.

Twenty years older, Frank’s life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo’s lacks. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Coco Mellors is an elegant and exciting new voice’ PANDORA SYKES, author of How Do We Know We’re Doing It Right New York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. ‘A tender, devastating and funny exploration of love and friendship and the yearning for self-evisceration. For readers of Modern Lovers and Conversations with Friends, an addictive, humorous, and poignant debut novel about the shock waves caused by one couple’s impulsive marriage.
