I like Lena Dunham and I like her writing, but I think I am just too old for most of her stuff.

Not for me. Did not finish it.
A diary of a young girl's misadventures with love, sex and life generally.

I just feel like I couldn't learn anything from Lena. The book was fine. Entertaining at times. I, thankfully, couldn't relate to Lena's dramatics, guy problems, or NYC artsy upbringing. Chick has def had some super weird crap happen to her. I'd probably right a memoir too.

What can I say about the essays that make up this book? Weird, vulgar, dirty but yet purely transparent.
I respect Dunham honesty. However, I cannot say that I enjoyed this book.
I do not connect with Dunham on any level. It seems throughout the book, she was trying too hard. As though, she was trying to shock the reader. I did not take away that she was so cool or even had any real adventure. I left the book feeling incredibly sad for her.

I really wanted to like this since Lena always talks about our gender gap issues but I just couldn't ...

Lena has the courage to share her very real stories, stories that most women wouldn't even whisper to their best friend in the dark.

Fresh insight into the complexity of an ordinary, extraordinary life. Makes you uncomfortable at times but I think perhaps in a good way because it's unapologetic and transparent.

There's nothing spectacular about this memoir. It is meandering in a disorganized way and lacks cohesion. Considering the nature of this writing, Lena is quite distanced from her own story, and the writing lacks introspection.

Mostly so awful I wanted to claw my own eyeballs out, with a light sprinkling of interesting ideas. What a boring combination of privilege without self-reflection & stand-up comedian personality.
