I was not familiar with Lena Dunham when I saw her giving a TV interview about this book. I thought "Wow, it seems like I would like her" so I got the book. Lena is a really really good writer. Her essays are powerful, nothing but raw truth. I don't think many women realize how much the men we date says about us and makes us who we are. Each disastrous date or embarrassing sexual encounter teaches something and leads somewhere, even if we don't see it at the time. I love the way Lena looked at these encounters she's had (with sex but also friends, family and work.) Half way through the book, I started watching the first season of Girls. I was impressed with how many of the things she writes about come through in her show and how well done it is. If you're already a fan of Lena's and Girls, you will love this book. But even if you aren't, you should read it anyway. Especially if you're a writer!
