Summary
A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR

A WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S TOP 10 FICTION BOOKS OF 2024

ONE OF NPR’S “BOOKS WE LOVE” 2024

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY:
THE NEW YORKER ● VOGUE ● FINANCIAL TIMES ● OPRAH DAILY ● VULTURE ● VOX

The New York Times bestselling author returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious and surprising novel about a woman upending her life

“A frank novel about a midlife awakening, which is funnier and more boldly human than you ever quite expect . . . nothing short of riveting.” —Vogue

“All Fours has spurred a whisper network of women fantasizing about desire and freedom. . . . It’s the talk of every group text.'—The New York Times

“All Fours possessed me. I picked it up and neglected my life until the last page, and then I started begging every woman I know to read it as soon as possible.” —The Cut

A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country, from LA to NY. Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, checks into a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in an entirely different journey.

Miranda July’s second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July’s wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman’s quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.

Underwhelming for me after all the hype.

Boring ! If I was her therapist I would have payed her for skipping the appointments. If this author wrote with a sense of humor, and wit, I would have thought that she was trying to emulate Erica Jong's classic - Fear of flying (1975) which I’d recommend, or contemporary Gillian Anderson - that is if you are interested in the pop culture references to the middle class woman sexuality and related issues.

The narrator captured the personality of the character perfectly

Huge disappointment! When will women stop abandoning themselves for men’s attention?! You’d think by 45 she’s have a bit more experience in life or some bit of wisdom to pass on as hitting menopause but again it’s all about the obsession of staying young and fuckable for men. Do better !! What an embarrassment for womankind ! Miranda July has failed me. I’ve loved everything she’s done, up until this point. The desperation is humiliating. Imagine losing your whole self over trying to seduce a young married man?! Smdh. I wouldn’t have that. No self esteem. She certainly hasn’t aged well.

A great and unique work. Could have safely been cut down by 1/3 by a skilled editor. But a great listen nevertheless.

This was 100%, hands down, the absolute best audiobook I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve listen to a LOT of prize winning Audiobooks. I don’t even know how to put into words my feelings about this book, I wish I did, Miranda July deserves an award.

Protagonist kept my attention, sometimes I thought she was kind of awful and other times I empathized . It’s been many years since I last viewed or read something by July, brings me back, in a good way.
