What Dunham documents in Famesick

In her memoir Famesick, Dunham reflects on chronic illness, growing up in the industry and her years on HBO's Girls (2012–2017). She writes about her complicated relationship with Driver, including that he once "hurled a chair at the wall" nearby and could be "verbally aggressive." She also says they have not spoken since the series ended and felt "heartbroken" upon learning of his engagement.
