When I first read Bunny, I Ioved the prose but didn’t feel a strong connection to the message of the story. It was a crazy read though, so when I saw Mona Awad had another book All’s Well, I was excited to give it a try. This one I truly cannot praise enough. As someone who suffers from chronic conditions, I felt so seen by Miranda’s character. I really believe the backdrop of this story got the message across beautifully. It was so raw while also having mysterious magical elements and, true to Awad, all the characters were so unique and distinct which instantly makes them feel so alive from Page 1. I truly think everyone can gain perspective from this book; undoubtedly, it’s a must read.
It is a bit slow moving in the beginning and then suddenly really picks it up. If you can get through the beginning, it’s worth it.
