Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
4.0
I read "Is Everyone Hanging Out With Me? (And Other Concerns)" earlier this month, and I was intrigued enough by Kaling that I hunted down her second memoir almost immediately. I enjoyed learning more about Mindy as her career took off a little more and she had more secrets of the industry to share.
This book talked in great detail about Mindy's work on her feature show "The Mindy Project." I've never seen this one, but I still found it fascinating to learn how she secured this gig and how a typical day on set and in the writer's room go. It was fun to see how much her career has grown, as well as see that she grew quite a bit as a person in the last few years since she wrote her first memoir.
Mindy shares her opinions on fashion, sororities, the film industry, dating, alternate dimensions, and so much more in this quirky memoir filled with wit and heart. I love how she manages to be super transparent while also sharing the oddest anecdotes and crazy stories that I know aren't real in the actual sense. It is so easy to tell the difference though, which is a skill set in its own.
On a super random note, I found the segment about filming sex scenes to be really interesting. This is something I've never really thought about and I found it super engaging to hear Mindy's thoughts and opinions on this topic.
Overall, I enjoyed reading "Why Not Me?" in just a few days. It's quite a short book and certain segments fly by even faster than I expected them to. Mindy is quite an interesting lady with strong opinions, and it was fun to learn even more about her and her career through this book.
