Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling. Until I read the book book, I'd never seen the Mindy Project but now I'll be catching up on the series. Her writing is sarcastic and straightforward so I loved reading it. For anyone who wants a quirky look at Hollywood, why not pick up the book?

I like Mindy Kaling when I see her interviewed, and I've enjoyed some of her work, but I haven't consistently watched TV much in the last few years, so I know I've missed the bulk of her work.

I think she is very funny and I thought this might be similar to Chelsea Handler but I wasn't very engaged in it. I listened to this as an audio and I am not sure if that played into it since I prefer reading. I might retry it by reading it.

Review is for the audio version. Humorous memoir/essay type books by famous people are nearly always elevated by hearing the author read it.
