If you haven't read her first book... stop reading this post and go get that book!!! "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" is an all-time favorite of mine. It is FIVE stars all the way.
Unfortunately, Mindy's second book isn't all that great. It was pretty similar to "Yes, Please" by Amy Poehler (my review of that book is down below in italics).
Though it still has the personal ringtones of Mindy's hilarious subconscious, it did not delve deep enough for me to relate -- the way I related to Mindy in her first book. It needed even more girl power. Though I loved the 5am wake up time pictures and knowing that oh-so-glamorous Mindy Kaling too works until the wee-hours of the night... I yearned for MORE nerdiness.
Sigh... I fear I'm being to hard on this.
If you watch The Mindy Project, you might relate to this book a bit more. I have too many shows on my DVR right now. I haven't had time to sign up for a Hulu account either. But maybe someday I will - and then maybe someday I'll return to this book and "get it" the way most other Amazon readers did (most folks gave this book 5! stars!).
For this present moment: I give 2 Ruchi-Reads Stars for Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling.
**My 2015 review of Amy Pohler's Yes,Please reads: : It was no Bossypants. It was no Is Everyone Hanging out Without Me. But... it had its moments of wit, enthusiasm, and perspective. Any book with some girl power is worth reading! 2.5 "ruchi-reads" stars!)"
