Marina Keegan
Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash.
As her family, friends, and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, "The Opposite of Loneliness", went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. She had struck a chord.
Even though she was just 22 when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. The Opposite of Loneliness is an assemblage of Marina's essays and stories that, like The Last Lecture, articulates the universal struggle that all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to make an impact on the world.

Most of the non-fiction was pretty good, it had me wishing most of the book was just non-fiction.
**SPOILER ALERT**
The story of her gluten allergies and the care her mom had for her truly broke my heart for her mother. Mainly because I can't imagine the pain of losing a child, no matter their age... and seeing how much she tried to do to ensure her daughter was happy and healthy and then have her die at such a young age is extremely sad. I thought of her mother when they mention she passed away at the beginning, but after hearing that story, it made it a lot more relatable to her mom.
Not all the stories were good

Would you consider the audio edition of The Opposite of Loneliness to be better than the print version?
Quite possibly. Emily Woo Zeller brings the stories and essays to vibrant life.What other book might you compare The Opposite of Loneliness to and why?
The last really great short story collection I read was B.J. Novak's One More Thing. That said, the stories in here are different from Novak's, not as humorous but more fleshed out.Have you listened to any of Emily Woo Zeller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not, but after this I'll look into other books she has performed with great interest.If you could rename The Opposite of Loneliness, what would you call it?
Here's My Card. If you read the book to the end, you'll understand why.Any additional comments?
Throughout The Opposite of Loneliness one can see Marina Keegan's worry that her voice will not be heard and her hope that young people can achieve their dreams without some kind of society-imposed waiting period. It is undeniable that if Keegan had not died at such a tragically young age, this book would have been different. The stories and essays might have been edited a bit further (although they are already excellent), and the selection itself might have been changed. But somehow, against all odds The Opposite of Loneliness feels like a cohesive whole, a moving tribute to an up-and-coming writer full of promise. The stories and essays are beautiful and diverse, and so good that while reading them, one forgets the author's own mortality for a while. The Opposite of Loneliness is full of life, bursting to the brim with it, and in this short a space Marina Keegan has left a lasting impact.A Moving Tribute
