All's Well by Mona Awad
Miranda Fitch’s life is a waking nightmare. The accident that ended her burgeoning acting career left her with excruciating, chronic back pain, a failed marriage, and a deepening dependence on painkillers. And now she’s on the verge of losing her job as a college theater director. Determined to put on Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well, the play that promised, and cost, her everything, she faces a mutinous cast hellbent on staging Macbeth instead. Miranda sees her chance at redemption slip through her fingers.
That’s when she meets three strange benefactors who have an eerie knowledge of Miranda’s past and a tantalizing promise for her future: one where the show goes on, her rebellious students get what’s coming to them, and the invisible, doubted pain that’s kept her from the spotlight is made known.
With prose Margaret Atwood has described as “no punches pulled, no hilarities dodged...genius,” Mona Awad has concocted her most potent, subversive novel yet. All’s Well is the story of a woman at her breaking point and a formidable, piercingly funny indictment of our collective refusal to witness and believe female pain.

Staff Review
I have to start the review by saying that I read this book already having read all of Mona Awad’s other books and knowing that I loved her writing. This book did not disappoint. Awads ability to create complex characters that genuinely make you feel every emotion that they are is what draws me to her writing. Every ache the main character felt, I ached for her.
This book is a tangled web of crazy from start to finish and you just can’t stop reading until you figure out how it will turn out. Having never read All’s Well That Ends Well myself, I didn’t know what to expect but I will now be reading the play!
