Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors 370 pages | Used – Very Good Couple tiny dog-eared pages (unfolded, no worries), and a very slight indent on the cover but otherwise clean and lovely. A beautifully messy story about a young British artist and an older ad exec whose impulsive NYC marriage sets off a ripple of chaos, heartache, and unexpected tenderness. Think rich characters, sharp writing, emotional damage, and just enough spice to keep things interesting. Gorgeous, gritty, and totally unputdownable.
