Kind of Hindu by Mindy Kaling

3.0

I'm not religious but even I thought it was strange when Mindy said part of the reason for introducing her daughter to her Hindu heritage is because she didn't want her to become Christian. I'm sure this was a joke but it fell flat for me.

Perhaps a lot of it was tongue-in-cheek, but it seems like Mindy buys into her celebrity more than she has in the past. For example, she mentions having her assistant call to find a hairstylist for a celebrity. The party after the ceremony was filled with comedy writers.

In Mindy's first two books I enjoyed how absolutely relatable she was. It was like talking with an old friend. Now it just seems like she's buying her own hype and I spent more time grimacing than laughing.
