To be honest, it's just an easy and fun read. In a breezy conversational style, Mindy shares her experiences from her childhood and her love of comedy formed at a young age/pursuit to be a comedy writer. She also offers observations about relationships, making it in Hollywood, and general things she notices in the differences between women and men. Most of the chapters are like a simple essay of various experiences she's had. Plenty of them are funny and insightful. There were a few that I just couldn't connect with and sorta zoned out of. But maybe that's me. Ultimately, she feels truly relatable and I enjoyed her positive outlook on everything - she just has a very fresh personality and isn't afraid to share her quirks and genuine interests. The book left me wanting to read more from her and to check out the Mindy Project (which I haven't done yet since I mostly knew her from the Office).
