Our girl is fully unhinged and we love that journey for her!

I love Elena Ferrante’s writing; this book did what I wanted All Fours to do. 

I just wasn’t the biggest fan of: 
1. the audiobook (physical probably would’ve been 4 stars for me)
2. the fact that I’ve never been an abandoned woman. I feel like if you could relate, this would hit home.

Remember, check your trigger warnings.
