Girls is one of my favourite shows on TV so when I discovered Lena Dunham, the writer of Girls, had wrote a book it was the first thing on my Christmas list! Santa was good and bought it for me :)
So I started to read it boxing day and I couldn't put it down
The book is an autobiography mixed with advice and help and lessons learned from her life. I read it literally in two days, and I loved it.
She discusses love, childhood, university and life after university such as, work. As a final year student nearing the end of university I found this book helpful and reassuring knowing that it's okay to leave university not knowing what the next step on your journey is.
One chapter focused on her fixation with death. I found this to be something I could strongly relate to. As a child I used to have a recurring dream of all my family dying and even now, I find I think about death alot and what it would mean for me and my family and friends. Knowing that someone else in the world seemed to think the same way as me was very reassuring and made me feel slightly better about the way I feel.
Other sections of her book about university and her childhood was very relatable and I would recommend this book to anyone who is unsure about their next step in life. It's reassuring to know we're all confused :)
