NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned"

by | Read by Lena Dunham

Biography & Memoir • 6.25 hrs. • Unabridged Selections • © 2014

Narrator and celebrity author Lena Dunham brings her talent for "oversharing" to a whole new level as she shares casual thoughts on sexuality and insecurity. From her childhood to her present renown as producer and star of HBO's "Girls," Dunham methodically details her sexual experiences juxtaposed against her frequent battles with OCD and low self-esteem. Listeners who know Dunham's television work will appreciate the intimacy her narration brings to her autobiography. However, her delivery lacks the liveliness of her television persona. Furthermore, the associative nature of her musings doesn't translate well to audio; her temporal and topic jumps may have listeners wondering if they downloaded the book in the proper order.
