A review by hmonkeyreads
Kind of Hindu by Mindy Kaling
4.0
I read all of the essays in this series [Nothing Like I Imagined (Except for Sometimes)] in the last two days via Kindle Unlimited but since they are all super duper short I am just counting them all under this one title so as not to ruin my stats for the year (Even though there are six of them I am not convinced that they even add up to one legit full length book!)
I don't know how much of Mindy Kaling's public image is real and how much is a cultivated image but based upon her books and her social media and most of her TV shows --- I am pretty sure that I wish she was my next door neighbor / BFF. I will be truly crushed if it turns out that she's an awful monster of a person.
These essays are very light and breezy (and funny) and they are just little snippets of her life: what it's like to suddenly worry about creating a religious/cultural heritage for another person, what it's like to be a single mom by choice, what it's like to be an entertainer who is really an introvert with social anxiety, what it's like to learn how to be a famous person "big shot" and how to interact with other hollywood types.
