Cleopatra and Frankenstein

I debated for the longest time whether to read this book or not, thinking it wouldn't be an enjoyable reading experience, but boy am I so glad to be proven wrong! This did for me what Sally Rooney does for other people, and while I can see why some people might find some of the writing annoying or pretentious, this hit all the right notes for me. It's a stunning character study of extremely flawed and, yes, unlikable people at times. Definitely a new favorite of mine.
