BOOK CLUB: Cleopatra and Frankenstein

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7aPUFqX9tPwMe4UJCjZ9s5?si=de37edab3ae74515 Happy Saturday, book club friends! This month, we read Coco Mellors’s best-selling debut novel, Cleopatra and Frankenstein. The book follows 24-year-old British artist Cleo, whose chance meeting with a man called Frank (who is some 20 years older than her), changes the course of both of their lives. In Frank, Cleo finds a future where she can paint, be happy and, well, land a green card. When the darkest parts of each of them meet each other, Frank and Cleo are forced to reckon with their demons, what it means to be their best selves and what it is they actually want out of their future.
