Reviews

“Like listening to a likably gabby friend chatter happily over generously poured glasses of red wine.”—Washington Post

“[Kaling’s] comedic chops certainly shine throughout the book—as if we need more proof of her talent.”—HuffPost

“Kaling doles out neurotic charm and hilarious every-woman musings.”—Elle

“She’s like Tina Fey’s cool little sister. Or perhaps… the next Nora Ephron.” —The New York Times

In this audio edition of her memoir, Kaling charts the course of her varied life, while offering often hilarious, sometimes poignant tips and words of wisdom mined from her childhood and adult life. Through a series of essays, lists, and anecdotes, Kaling recalls her childhood in Cambridge, Mass.-complete with girl clique dates to the Cheesecake Factory-moving to New York City, her eventual relocation to Los Angeles, and her current job writing for and acting on NBC's The Office. Kaling's narration is conversational, entertaining, bubbly, and spirited-and reminiscent of Kelly Kapoor, her character on The Office-and the result is a short but very enjoyable listen. Kaling's fresh humor, one-liners, and analogies (e.g., "We clung to each other with blind loyalty like Lord Voldemort and his snake Nagini. I of course was Nagini") make this audio worth listening to a second time and sharing with friends. A Crown Archetype hardcover. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
