PositiveThe Guardian (UK)Famesick sheds almost all the Richard Curtis-isms to find that old, controversy-courting Dunham alive and – if not exactly well – then learning to cope with it ... The book is scattergun and sometimes lacking in self awareness ... Also undeniably frank and exhaustive: a lifetime of therapy condensed into something you could conceivably rip through in a weekend ... Dunham doesn’t always make it easy to feel sorry for her, though. There are moments big and small where her decision-making seems questionable ... And yet, there’s an honesty and a fluency to her prose that makes her hard to dismiss ... Dunham is able to write about the painful parts of life in a way that feels both intimate and universal.
