Maeve in America: Essays by a Girl from Somewhere Else by Maeve Higgins

3.0

The fact that Maeve Higgins is a stand up comic made me assume this essay collection would be a bit more "laugh out loud" but I really appreciated how unvarnished her stories were. "Wildflowers" in particular was so moving. The only thing that bugged me a bit about these essays was the fact that each one seemed to end like a term paper, with a neat paragraph that seemed to shout "get ready - this is the conclusion!"
