'A reminder of how brilliant she can be' THE TIMES

'There is so much wisdom and recognition in this book. Dunham is so intimate and candid that on subjects like love, self-worth, burnout and the pursuit of perfection, you feel she is writing only for you' I NEWS

'Dunham is able to write about the painful parts of life in a way that feels both intimate and universal' GUARDIAN

'On page and on screen, few people are willing to be as human as Lena Dunham' OBSERVER

'In its portrayal of the ecstasy, heartbreak and sheer thrill of what it is to be young and lost, Famesick reaffirms Dunham's status as a generational voice' FINANCIAL TIMES

'Famesick is an ideal celebrity memoir with the added bonus of being written by someone who can actually write. But it's also a shocking and funny read, clear-eyed and contextualized, a testament to what made her so interesting in the first place and why her work has always been so compelling' SLATE

'An earnest, exposing book; Its quick hits of wit are like sniffs from an oxygen mask' NEW YORK TIMES

'This memoir is an astonishing tour de force, blending Dunham's characteristic self-revelation with her compellingly quirky voice' IRISH SUNDAY INDEPENDENT

'Typically exposing, brilliantly written, and so eloquently lays out what it means to have a chronic illness in a world that values ambition and productivity above all else' VOGUE

'The true value of Famesick is its insight into those people who really do live through their work. It is a rare analysis of the process of making art, and its neurotic effect on the nervous system when there is such a fine line between fiction and truth' NEW STATESMAN

'A compelling ride... she shows a courage that's hard to look away from' STYLIST

'Famesick is gossipy and splashy, like all good celebrity memoirs, but contains an authenticity of emotion you won't get from an A-Lister's ghost-written tome. I couldn't put it down' ELLE UK
