The 35 Lena Dunham-est Quotes From 'Not That Kind Of Girl'

35 Lena Dunham Est Quotes Fromnot That Kind Girl

So, Lena Dunham's book 'Not That Kind of Girl' finally came out yesterday (September 30). And while normal people might have spaced Dunham's candid, thoughtful, and often moving collection of personal essays out over a series of multiple days, we read them all in four hours. Four wonderful, condom anecdote-filled hours.

All in all, 'Not That Kind of Girl' was a refreshing read that should make fans of Dunham's candor quite pleased, but it also produced a ton of 'WTF' quotes that were just begging to become GIFs.
