lena dunham, they could never make me hate you. what a fab memoir by a voice of a generation (iykyk) - five stars, no notes.
i thought famesick was honest and really compelling. lena dunham writes about addiction, working yourself sick (literally), and the brutal physical and mental toll fame that fame took on her, especially as a young person new to the industry. not only is her writing stylistically brilliant, her storytelling conveys a level of self-compassion and perspective that honestly floored me. no self pity, no performance, just the truth as she experienced it. the insight into her relationship with jenni konner was fascinating in all its mess (felt like a true tell-all but handled with care!!!!), and the adam driver chapter? i wept. i'm also grateful she didn't sanitize her experience as a woman living with chronic illness - while it might not be for the squeamish, i appreciated the gory details and feel like that visibility really matters. ily lena, guess i'll start my 10th rewatch of girls now!
PS: i recognize that lena dunham isn't for everyone and i hear/ understand the critiques. i think famesick does a great job of taking on those criticisms with accountability rather than excuses while offering some insight into her very human experience. if you aren't a fan, maybe this won't change your mind, but who knows?
