Lena's Secret

The bidding war for Lena Dunham's book is intensifying by the minute and having read the manuscript I've got to say it's justified. Lena has decribed her book as "a collection of essays with an advice motif", but she's left out the important detail that it's got sort of a choose your own adventure vibe.

For example, the first few pages of the book lay out what is to come, which is basically words of wisdom on how to make it as a young woman even if you're fat, ugly and talentless, but on page 4 it reads "If your mother or father is not a famous artist who regular attends dinner parties with the editors of The New Yorker please skip to page 198." I did and that page simply read "Sorry. You're fucked. Maybe try reading The Secret."
