I haven't read/listened to many Autobiography books so I might not be the best person to review or rate this book, but I do . It was funny but not completely enjoyable and that was a disappointment for me as this was GoodReads choice on Humors of 2015, good thing it had enough pull that I didn't drop it and other than first quarter enjoyed it more or less.

So, I think this one is better than her first one, but I'm still reminded of why I didn't love the first one. I root for Mindy Kaling hard, as she's a female writer of color in the middle of Hollywood, and her voice is on-point on body image, immigrant experiences, hard work, and many other topics.
