Why Not Me?
by Mindy Kaling
Mindy Kaling did it again with a hilarious book about her life in LA as a TV writer, managing to make herself utterly relatable yet at the same time glamorous.
I love Mindy's voice and even without listening to the audiobook, if you've heard enough voiceovers from The Mindy Project, you can't help but have her voice in your head the whole time. It was great listening to her reminisce about when she started writing The Mindy Project and both the failures and successes with it and how she handled it. I also loved some of the insider knowledge like writers being put on Morgan's 'When I was in prison' jokes as a punishment and Danny Castellano being roughly based on Mr Darcy (which I TOTALLY see).
There were some bits I could have done without - the overlong segment of the emails from her alternate life as a Latin teacher and her not-very-exciting back and forth with President's man Will. I would have liked a bit more The Mindy Project chatter too, there wasn't enough, or even as much as I thought there would be. But it gave me my Mindy fix and a few laughs, and that's all I needed in the end.
