The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories by Marina Keegan

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

3.0

the nonfiction is really where this book shines, but even so i don’t think it would be nearly as impactful if it wasn’t posthumously published. i also simply couldn’t get over the author’s fixation on weight as a primary descriptor, and the one story about iraq was agony. the nonfiction, however, had a really lovely and consistent voice. wish she could’ve grown and developed as a writer.
