Dissected: Not That Kind of Girl

Starting with the most undesirable spring break I've encountered thus far, I started reading Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl, a book I had picked up, along with Fifty Shades of Grey, a couple months earlier. I have been reading this book on and off since and I just finished it what seems to be a few weeks ago (I've lost track of dates since the start of the summer). I like this book because I feel like it gives me a bigger explanation for Lena Dunham's character, Hannah, on her show Girls (which is a great show on HBO, you should check it out). She breaks the book into five interesting sections, providing countless essays about her life experiences. She doesn't suggest how you should live your life or tell tales about her success. She just bravely shows you who she is. From her stories you realize that she is very much like Hannah. This book has lowkey inspired me to start a memoir comprised of my own stories and essays. If you're a fan of Girls, or Lena Dunham personally, you should pick up Not That Kind of Girl.
