Famesick: A Memoir
Dunham on early fame, illness and the disorientation of having been very publicly young, written after a decade away from the spotlight she entered at twenty-four.
Dunham writes about early fame, the body, chronic illness, and the particular disorientation of having been very publicly young. She entered the spotlight at twenty-four and spent a decade away from it before this, and the distance shows: the book is less interested in defending the past than in describing what it did to her.

Not exactly my thing, so I did not finish it. But it is pretty good, so if you are tempted give it a try.
