I just finished All Fours with almost no prior knowledge of the plot or the author and even though I’m not a woman over 40, it really moved me. Trying to pick up another book has been hard, I’m constantly thinking about the protagonist and how her story continued. I don’t imagine that July has a sequel lined up, but I would genuinely read 40 books about this woman; she was so gripping and funny and often stressed me out with her crazy decision making.
I saw that it might get turned into a tv show and as much as tv/movies sometimes fail to truly capture the essence of a book, I would love to see this story come to life. In my head I already fancasted Jennifer Lawrence. So if it wasn’t clear, I highly suggest this book to anyone who loves women.

I like woman too. What a coincidence. Woman are great as are their stories!
Miranda July is a fascinating person. If you’re in the mood for a quirky movie, watch her “Me, You, and Everyone We know”.
Miranda July has this way of making you feel like you’re living inside someone else’s messy brain – I picked up this book after seeing it everywhere in Oscar predictions (weird connection but whatever) and couldn’t put it down. Jennifer Lawrence would actually be perfect casting, she has that chaotic energy that could really capture the protagonist’s wild choices without making her seem completely unhinged.
Jlaw is way too young to be having a midlife crisis! I want Kate Hudson.
