Reply to [Book Club] "All's Well" by Mona Awad: Week 3, Chapter 24 to Chapter 31 (end) by satanspanties

  1. This is definitely a novel with unlikable characters! Which I love! I think my favorite character might be Ellie, because I enjoyed what she represented.

  2. I noticed a lot of Macbeth for sure. My favorite characters in Macbeth are the three witches and I instantly recognized their counterparts in Alls Well.

  3. I think Grace probably learned the most. I for sure think Miranda is going to backslide after a while. However, I think the experience was overall positive for Grace.

  4. I see this book as a tragedy. In shakespeare’s plays, a tragedy usually ends with the death of the MC. I think you could say that Miranda died at the end of the book. You could say that she is experiencing limbo or the afterlife at the end. However, I think she went through a metaphorical death. I am not sure if she is going to have a happily ever after. I think the three men will eventually get their refund.

  5. This book NEEDS to be made into a movie like The Black Swan. I was definitely feeling Black Swan vibes. If you like this book, you should try Bunny by Mona Awad, but also Ninth House (Leigh Bardugo), Middlegame (Seanan McGuire), and Eileen (Otessa Moshfegh)
