Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
4.0

This was a charming and fun plane read. She shares just enough that you feel like you get to know her but you’re still pretty clearly held at arms length as far as pivotal or deeply personal moments in her life - which is absolutely fine by me, celebrities are allowed those levels of privacy. I note it because this is not an intense and deeply personal memoir but rather an amusing group of essays talking about certain areas of her life particularly focused on comedy and career. I would say her first book resonated with me a little bit more but that might’ve been because I was at a place in my life that was more relatable. I would look forward to a third one from her that included discussion of pregnancy or childbirth.
