"Dunham's memoir charts the chronic illness and seemingly unending stress that came to define her 20s and 30s after she had snagged her own HBO series aged just 24."
"The afflictions described across its 400 pages include OCD, colitis, the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, endometriosis, early menopause, PTSD and addiction to both opioids and benzodiazepines."
"She describes it all in unvarnished but terrifying fashion, from the digestive tract she had treated like a clogged sink to the panic about how Vogue would cover her impetigo."
Lena Dunham's second memoir reveals her experiences with chronic illness and personal turmoil after achieving fame at a young age.

Dunham shares vivid anecdotes, such as accidentally setting herself on fire and worrying about her appearance in Vogue. While the narrative can feel scattered and at times lacking self-awareness, it remains a frank and exhaustive account of her life, illustrating how her health challenges gradually take center stage.
