Unreadable.
I've hate-watched Girls and at least found it interesting. Lena's book, however, is intolerably boring. I've tried to get through it multiple times and just end up reading three pages and setting it aside. This book is the equivalent of getting a text message on Sunday morning from your least funny friend wanting to tell you about last night's sexcapades. Her tone is all faux "self-awareness" and it just didn't work for me. I am on a plane right now with no other book and still can't make it past page 47 without my eyes closing. The writing isn't bad, but I think she should have waited until she had a legitimate story to tell.
