Reviews of All Fours:
“An irreverent and brilliantly touching story of a woman’s quest for freedom.” —Oprah Daily
"Atmospheric, sexy and totally unexpected."—People Magazine
“July’s candor, her fearlessness, in describing the unwieldy emotional and biological nuances of this time of life is refreshing...reading her new novel, as a so-called woman of a certain age, I felt seen in a way that is rare. It was invigorating.”—Wall Street Journal
“An intimate, fearless, and sexy coming-of-middle-age story . . [a] wonderfully weird adventure.” —TIME
“It’s not just that Miranda July’s latest novel is so propulsive you might have to cancel plans or set aside PTO just to scarf it down. It’s that her dazzlingly horny intelligence wrestles with marriage, queerness, and desire by turns sweet and hilarious, making even the smallest pangs of desire sizzle.”—Vulture
“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...Miranda July has given women in their 40s something totally new to want, plus permission to want it.”—Emily Gould, The Cut
“Deeply funny and achingly true….Reading All Fours feels like being seen, like being caught and held, making those connections and realizing that our experiences are not so isolating …July’s commitment to widening the space when it comes to our sexuality is joyfully radical.” —LA Times
“All Fours cast a spell on me and was hard to emerge from."—The Yale Review
