Take away was two things: Mindy Kaling is exactly like me, Mindy Kaling is not that likeable. Harsh takeaway.

I actually listened to the audio version and loved it! Mindy was the narrator and made the book hilarious. It was nice hearing her background and how she made it in Hollywood. Anytime I need inspiration, this will be the book I will read/listen to.

I grabbed an audio book of this and was delighted to hear Mindy's voice narrating it! I really do not read too many memoir type books but I REALLY liked this one a lot! I was laughing often and it was short & sweet! ~Ashley

I did not know that I wanted to be Mindy Kaling when I grow up.

Like listening to your friend talk about her life and thoughts. A fun audiobook for running.

Esperava muuuuuito mais. Achei engraçadinho, mas pro final foi ficando preconceituoso e com pensamentos aleatórios, sem formar um capítulo direito.

Not as funny as I thought it was gong to be, but better than Ellen's book
Any day.

Love love loved! I listened to the audiobook narrated by the author. She sounded so genuine, yet fierce and determined. I hope she continues writing. I didn't want this book to end.

Quick and fun read, just what you'd expect from Kaling after watching her onscreen. Lots of photos + frank admissions of mistakes made =enjoyable peek into the upbringing and mind of a now-famous geek. Great for a break between those heavy reads that you need to set aside for a time, to digest.

Kaling's book is a fun read and written in a very conversational style, although the subjects change from paragraph-to-paragraph so often in the second half of the book like BuzzFeed listicles. If Kaling had a LiveJournal, this book is how I imagine how that LiveJournal would read.

az eleje jó volt, a végére viszont kicsit ellaposodott meg elég szétszórttá vált. ettől függetlenül mindy még szimpatikusabbá vált, és annak ellenére, hogy hosszú távon képtelen vagyok elviselni az egyfolytában csacsogó embereket, amolyan hétvégi barátnőként tökre ellennék vele.

She's awesome! Funny, inspiration, she's just plain amazing! :)

Absolutely hilarious. I cried from laughing at a few parts. Mindy makes you feel inspired, embarrassed and completely jealous in one sentence. A must read.

I was very amused for the first 3/4ths of the book. Then I was less amused. Pretty good, pretty brainless read – if you're into that.

Funny at times, fluff.

It was a good thing to read after doing all my reading for class.

Hilarious! If I lived in LA I would stalk* Mindy Kaling until she became my BFF. I also appreciate the multiple Jane Austen references.


*Not really. I'm not a criminal. I just think we'd make great friends.

Funny and charming enough. Not everything appealed (why does she think rape jokes are so funny?), but on the whole, a light and enjoyable bus ride read.

Light and mostly fun (though like every essay collection, some misses). Read last year when it first came out, reread this year because I was tired of reading wedding books but didn't want anything super deep.

Perfect bathroom book. Short, cute (not LOL funny) chapters about Mindy Kaling's life and musings. Get it from the library - not worth full price.
