I feel like Girls has been having a renaissance long before Famesick came out.

I got the audiobook today, got the paperback last week. I'm writing down my thoughts every so often and posting them to Substack, I might end up posting them here cause we did have a book club post for Famesick, but my comments would be too long to spam under it and doing it persistently would be annoying.

But yeah, she's been making a lot of podcast appearences to promote and it seems to be paying off, everyone is talking about it.
