Description
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.)
