About this listen

Mindy Kaling has found herself at a turning point. So in Why Not Me?, she shares her ongoing journey to find fulfilment and adventure in her adult life, be it falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in unlikely places, or attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behaviour modification whatsoever.

In 'How to Look Spectacular', she reveals her tongue-in-cheek solutions for guaranteed on-camera beauty. 'Player' tells the story of Mindy being seduced, then dumped, by a female friend in LA. And in 'Soup Snakes', she spills some secrets on her relationship with ex-boyfriend and close friend, B. J. Novak.

Mindy has put the anxieties, the glamour and the celebrations of her second coming-of-age into this book, to which anyone can relate. (And, if they can't, they can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.)

Just what you want!

This was fun funny and truthfully written. It’s young adult friendly and it is full of good feels and interesting stories. Mindy paints a real picture of how she got where she is through hard work good luck and talent. But she makes it seem much more interesting then that lol.

Why are headings that are optional, required?

This was actually so great! She is insprining in a way that is beyond our honest feelings and comical thoughts we know everyone thinks but refuses to say.

Hilarious

Loved her first book, loved this one even more. Listened to this start to finish. Mindy is so amusing. Funniest and most relatable memoir I’ve read.

Funny and catches you off guard sometimes with really genuine stories

Mindy is funny and entertaining as you'd expect but there's a lot more to the book than just jokes. It gives you a really insightful look at a very impressive person.
This book was recommended by a friend and I will listen to it more than once

If I die, please tell Mindy Kaling thank you and that I love her

I thought audiobooks were for old people, but my life peaked hearing Mindy read this.
