Miranda July at it again. All Fours is real and raw while still walking the line of absurdity. I really liked the chapters that were in the wake of her road trip. The lengths that she goes to mourning her relationship with Davey are so tangible and relatable. I will have to read this again when I am going through menopause. Or maybe if I'm ever poly. Or even just a mother. Oh the twist about Arcanda's meeting FLOORED me.
