All Fours by Miranda July

Thursday, Mar. 29, 2025--San Antonio

All Fours by Miranda July was named a Top 10 book by Time and a finalist for the National Book Award.  I actually waited weeks with this book on hold before getting it on my Kindle through the Libby App (my local library paying for it, thank goodness, rather than me).   It's the story of an obnoxious woman making bad decisions.  Supposedly funny, I didn't laugh once during the 15% of it that I read.  I just couldn't stick with it any longer.  From the reviews, I can see that it is women who love the book, and apparently it's women frustrated with their lives.  There was just nothing about it that appealed to me.  It joins a small group of books with prominent award nominations that I swear must have been achieved by "sleeping" with the judges!!  I decided to quit the book and give it 1 star out of 5.
