I liked this better than Tina Fey's book because I identified with Mindy more. :) Laugh-out-loud funny! ...more

Mindy Kaling, acerbic writer/actress of "The Office" offers a memoir of her career as a comedy writer, as well as her hilariously honest observations on life.

I enjoyed this. I didn't like it as much as "Bossypants", nor did I laugh out loud as much, but it was a fun read. Admittedly, it did take me a few weeks to read this, as I had to keep putting it down. Sorry, Mindy.

So much fun! I love Mindy Kaling and I listened to the audiobook which she narrated so driving to work was just like sitting with a friend listening to her tell me all her stories and opinions. I had a smile on my face through the whole book and laughed a bunch.

quick, funny read by the delightful Mindy Kaling. Like Becky, one of my favorites chapters is "Married People Need to Step It Up". In particular the comment about one spouse not being allowed to watch certain tv shows without the other person, because Tim and I totally do that. Currently those shows are Breaking Bad, and Glee.

I also really enjoyed the section about her photo shoot for People's Most Beautiful list, because she is not a size 0 (nor should she be) and she totally made the costume

I'm a big Mindy Kaling fan, so while this isn't my usual style of book I had to try it. Well worth it! A collection of essays & lists, it's funny & made me like her even more. A great, fun read. ...more
