For some reason I wasn't expecting much from this book other than some laughs and I was very pleasantly surprised - Mindy Kaling is funny and intelligent, as expected, but also clever, charming and very kind.

This book was cute, about what I expected. It wasn't as funny as Tina Fey's memoir (But honestly, what other memoir would be? I kid.), but I feel like it's unfair to compare them. I liked that Kaling is about my age. There is something nice and grownup-feeling about reading a memior of a successful wo ...more

Had a Mindy Kaling crush going in, had a Mindy Kaling crush going out.
