Mindy Kaling is funny and has an odd life story. This book is a must-read for anyone who has felt like an odd ball.

This was a humorous memoir that shared details of Mindy's childhood and offered lots of background on how she ended up as an Emmy-nominated comedy writer/actress. Honest and funny, she often seemed like she was my girlfriend sharing her thoughts and experiences. A fun, light series of essays that easily felt like reading People magazine, which is a guilty pleasure of mine when at the hair salon. Topics she featured included her weight, dating, girlfriends, embarrassing moments, fame, and her parents - I especially appreciated that she really likes her parents.

I love Mindy, she's funny and entertaining and unfortunately half-way through the book she uses "Tr*nny", "Tr*nsvestite" and "Tr*nsexual." All of these are outdated slurs that harmfully impact the transgender community and I was so disappointed to hear it out of her mouth I couldn't continue with the book.

I read this book again because I just can’t get enough. Like many
autobiographies, I feel as if this book truly embodies who Mindy is as an
individual. She discusses all aspects of her life, from finding friends to being a
writer on “The Office.” As a fan, I could hear her voice in my head as I read,
making it that much more personal. Due to her excellent voice throughout the
novel, I found this to be such a relatable, quick read. If you enjoy her comedy,
you will definitely find her personality shining through this book. If you don’t
know her comedy, give it a try, maybe you’ll find your new favorite.

This was a funny and amusing look at Mindy in her early 30's. Most of the book was quite engaging as we got to learn about her childhood, adolescence, early 20's and her struggles to find a fit within the television industry, which was offered in a witty and entertaining manner. The last few chapters lacked direction for me and seemed less about her Journey and revelations and more about her idiosyncrasies and dislikes. Overall a decent read from someone who is still growing and evolving and yet is a successful & inspiring role model for young Women of Colour, especially those from the South Asian Diaspora.

This funny book is even funnier as read by author Mindy Kaling herself! If you’re familiar with her work (The Office and The Mindy Project) you will LOVE this. Enjoy Mindy’s witty observations about life, the universe, and everything as she takes you on a tour from her childhood to her success in Hollywood. (submitted by CC)

What an entertaining read. Stories of growing up, career, love life and more. And every word stays true to Kaling’s personality. I read it in her voice!

Mindy Kaling is really quite funny. You will enjoy this I promise!

It was fun to read this as an "Office" fan who knew nothing about Kaling. Full of brutally honest and hilarious stories from her career and early life.

Fun book! I’ve never watched the Office but I’m glad I read this first! I’ve also never watched the Mindy project. But still! Funny, endearing, relatable! Whether you know mindy Kaling or not, I’d recommend this book!
