2017 Reading Challenge discussion

I'll admit the primary reason I was drawn to this book is because of Marina Keegan's backstory. I really wanted to like it, but at the end of the day, it read much like what my peers would write in our college English classes-not that it's necessarily bad writing, but Keegan's writing wasn't anything especially exceptional. I will say that I enjoyed the non-fiction pieces better than the fiction ones.

I had the same thought about it. It was something that you would read in any college lit class, and in that class, it would be in the middle on the talent level.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have added this book and hear raving reviews about it.
