Filled to the brim with sexual problems, true tales of sex that are not sexy or funny but like walking in on your parents. a young woman that spends most of her time worrying about things that don't make a bit of sense. It is mostly a sad mosh-mash of psychosis. I remember reading ' Bossy Pants' and being delighted from the very first moment. What did you like best about Not That Kind of Girl? What did you like least? But I am a girl with a keen interest in self-actualization, sending hopeful dispatches from the front lines of that struggle.' I am not a married mother of three or the owner of a successful hosiery franchise. No, I am not a sexpert, a psychologist, or a registered dietician. I'm already predicting my future shame at thinking I had anything to offer you with this book, but also my future glory in having stopped you from trying an expensive juice cleanse or having the kind of sexual encounter where you keep your sneakers on. About publicly sharing your body, having to prove yourself in a meeting full of fifty-year-old men, and the health fears (tinnitus, lamp dust, infertility) that keep me up at night. This book contains stories about wonderful nights with terrible boys and terrible days with wonderful friends, about ambition and the two existential crises I had before the age of twenty. 'If I can take what I've learned in this life and make one treacherous relationship or degrading job easier for you, perhaps even prevent you from becoming temporarily vegan, then every misstep of mine will have been worthwhile. For readers or listeners of Nora Ephron, Tina Fey, and David Sedaris, this hilarious, poignant, and extremely frank collection of personal essays confirms Lena Dunham - the acclaimed creator, producer, and star of HBO's Girls - as one of the brightest and most original writers working today.
