Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
2.25
dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful book, made me cry. But it was only Santiago and Eleanor who brought me to tears. The rest of these assholes…meh! Absolutely stunning story. Very mixed feelings.
A lot of the characters in this book made me extremely angry, and maybe that’s because of perspective or whatever. 
Anywho. I think it’s a worthy read, although it put me in a less than ideal mindset while reading. 
2 stars for all that,
0.25 for Santiago
