Her skill on the page as a writer is remarkable &#8212; fresh, wise, so assured. She is that rare literary talent that will only grow from strength to strength and we look forward to helping her build a long career as an author.\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The book reportedly covers topics relevant to the 20-something female, including work, friendship, travel, love and sex. It was described by Random House as a book that offers frank and funny advice on everything from sex to eating and traveling to work.\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Dunham released a statement about her book deal, saying she is thrilled to be working with and learning from the brilliant minds at Random House, and to be among their incredible roster of authors.
