Jenni! I JUST started All Fours this morning and immediately texted my best friend to ask her to please start reading it, because I can tell already I'll need to talk about it. Big Swiss is fun, and within the canon of books about horny forty-something women. It felt Melissa Broder-adjacent to me (which reminds me: if you haven't read Milk Fed yet, it may be a good offramp from All Fours?).
Also, per our last convo, I did a brief tally of what people were reading while waiting in line for the Rachel Comey sample sale last month, and by my count a full 50% of the line was reading either All Fours or Leslie Jamison's new memoir. Which...sounds about right.
