Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned" by Lena Dunham

Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy this one. I thought I was going to love it but I felt like I was being thrown about from anecdote to anecdote and could never really get into anything of substance. Several of Lena’s stories seemed a bit pointless and they didn’t link very well.
I liked the commentary on growing up but I just expected more from it. I related to the section titled ‘My Top 10 Health Concerns’ which explores how we can go crazy worrying about things that might go wrong! I also thought the email writing section was a great idea but again they weren’t fully developed and it moved on so quickly to the next section. Her writing is very descriptive which I like but often was too much information needed for what she was talking about.
Overall I was disappointed and won’t be reading this again.
