Book Review: Learning Nothing From Lena Dunham’s ‘Not That Kind of Girl’
Back in 2012 Lena Dunham received a $3.7 million dollar advance from Random House to write a book of advice for young women.

Are Love Letters a Lost Art?
Call me old-fashioned, but there’s something incredibly sweet and artful about love letters.
