Why Not Me?

I was really excited for this book because I love “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?” Mindy Kaling and her work on the Office. However, this book, while good, did not meet my expectations. It was still funny, Mindy was still love able, but at times it felt like she was whining and I honestly didn't see what she had to whine about or her stories were stories that went nowhere. While I was excited that she got to meet President Obama, the whole background story about Will went nowhere for me. As I started getting towards the end of the book I found myself checking how many pages I had left so I could just count it read which is too bad because one of her best essays was the last one. I came away still loving Mindy (and still not liking BJ Novak, seriously, who discounts a whole form of art simply because he's not entertained?) and ultimately glad I read this book.
