NEW BOOK ALERT. This one is a comedy. It is comedian, actress, and all around good human Mindy Kaling's book "Why Not Me?" This is her second novel, but I have not read the first one.

This one though it is super funny and lovely. She is truly a funny person. I watched her play Kelly on the office and thought nothing of it until I started reading and fell in love. THE OFFICE SPOILER ALERT: Did you know she wrote the episode where Jim and Pam got married? I was so surprised in a good way. I thought that episode was so good and i loved that i could find out she wrote it by reading her book. That is one thing I adored about her novel, that she gave BTS about the show and other projects she has done.

Me personally my favorite chapters were the ones about Will. Will is a guy who worked with the president and I thought the way she talked about him was funny and sweet at the same time. Also my other favorite part is when she had a section of just emails of her being a latin teacher throwing a party, those were HILARIOUS.

Overall, her book made me like her more as a writer, comedian, and overall human being. She taught me many things whilst reading and I will carry them with me and I loved that.

I recommend this book for all you funny people who think you're comedy is actually funny when reality Mindy's is probably way better. Just wait... go read it.
