I wanted to like “ All Fours” but it didn’t work for me either. I also felt it was trying too hard. I found myself comparing it to “ Splinters” by Leslie Jamison. I realize one is fiction and the other is a memoir. Jamison’s book was so well done and rang much more authentic to me.

Well Russell, 4 out of 12 isn't bad, right? I added three to my TBR (The Husbands, Habitations and Brotherless Night) and I already have The Extinction of Irena Ray on my shelf. As soon as this heatwave ends (we're setting records every day), and my brain is no longer mush, I'll try to get to some. I'm currently reading Master Slave Husband Wife. It's excellent but, like I said, my brain is mush so it's going very slowly.
