Published after her death, Marina Keegan’s collected work
of writings is like being introduced to someone you would have wanted to be
friends with, but sadly never will know.
It’s a farewell to a talent cut short, a career undeveloped but seething
with potential. My favorite pieces here
are her personal essays, especially the one on about having Coeliac
disease. Her fiction is mostly just
average. But I loved reading this book
because you can feel her youthful and fearless enthusiasm. It’s inspiring that her friends and family
had these works published for all to read.
Sad too that we’ll never she how much better she would have become as a
writer. Grade: B+
