## Description

Cleopatra and Frankenstein [Mellors, Coco] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Cleopatra and Frankenstein

Review: Coming of Age in a Complex Marriage - 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐈𝐍 by debut author Coco Mellors has the dangerous distinction of being compared to such books as 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 by Emma Straub and 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 by Sally Rooney. Those are big shoes to fill, but for me Mellors has done it. So, let me say right at the top that I thought her writing was simply exquisite. A pure pleasure to read. Bravo!⁣ ⁣ Cleo and Frank meet while leaving a New Year’s Eve party in 2007. She’s 24 and on a student visa that’s expiring in six months. He’s the 45ish owner of a successful New York marketing firm. Theirs is a whirlwind romance that ends in a marriage that takes most everyone by surprise including themselves. That’s the basic setup for 𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯, but the story is really what happens after: how two people who barely knew each other can make a go of their marriage, or not. It’s also about how the people in their lives feel about the couple and how that impacts their relationship. ⁣ ⁣ This is a story that delves into how two people can truly love each other even when they don’t seem to be able to fit together. It’s a story steeped in excess and touched by mental illness. It’s a love story, but not a romance. It’s dark, but not crushingly so. It’s hopeful, but not overtly. It’s a book I highly recommend to fans of Sally Rooney or even to those who find Rooney just a little too dark. 𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯 will give you the same feel, but won't leave you crushed. I loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫⁣ ⁣ Thanks to @bloomsburypublishing for an electronic ARC of #cleopatraandfrankenstein.
Review: it’s worth it’s hype - What a refreshing take on life, love, and heartbreak. I have been seeing this book everywhere and I finally decided to pick it up to see what all the fuss was about. It did not disappoint. This book is beautifully written and focuses on a group of friends that are all just trying to do the best they can with what life has dealt them. This book is character driven so if you are looking for a beautifully story about loss and love this book is for you. Side note: it totally give off Gatsby vibes

### ⭐⭐⭐ Well, this was definitely A LOT
*by K***A on February 26, 2026*

Well, this was definitely A LOT I definitely feel like this book was necessary for me and it could be for a lot of people Love in its most pure, basic and complex form, and life too. I wouldn’t say I loved this book, I started to hate it but I feel like once you get into the psychology of these relationships specially the main one, Cleo and Frank you can’t just hate this book, it’s way more complex than that, not your usual conform romance, this was rough, laughable, emotional, dramatic and again, rough. I did wish I got more of some specific characters but it’s understandable they went as far as they did in this book. 3 1/2 stars I think it’s fair, I did love the writing, very different than what I been used too, very fun too. But I did sometimes get kinda tired which made me stop and pick a different book and consequently I forgot some characters or happenings in this book that made be go back some pages. I would read it again, and I also would recommend depending on the person and their life situation at the moment.
