Celebrity memoirs can veer towards the vacuous, a vehicle for reviving a career. Carefully worded gossip - just enough to get the media writing - but not enough to be sued or cause any actual reputational damages.

Like with her writing and performance as Hannah Horvath in the hit TV series Girls, Dunham in Famesick lays bare a part of her soul: her medical history, her loves lost, her rehabilitation treatment for addiction.
