WHY NOT ME? - MINDY KALING KARTONIERT (TB)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and
creator of The Mindy Project and Never Have I Ever comes a hilarious collection of essays about
her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life. This is Kaling at the
height of her power.-USA Today In Why Not Me?  Kaling shares insightful  deeply personal
stories about falling in love at work  seeking new friendships in lonely places  attempting to
be the first person in history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever  and
believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you're constantly reminded that no one looks
like you. In How to Look Spectacular: A Starlet's Confessions  Kaling gives her tongue-in-cheek
secrets for surefire on-camera beauty  (Your natural hair color may be appropriate for your
skin tone  but this isn't the land of appropriate-this is Hollywood  baby. Out here  a
dark-skinned woman's traditional hair color is honey blonde.) Player tells the story of Kaling
being seduced and dumped by a female friend in L.A. (I had been replaced by a younger model.
And now they had matching bangs.) In Unlikely Leading Lady  she muses on America's fixation
with the weight of actresses  (Most women we see onscreen are either so thin that they're
walking clavicles or so huge that their only scenes involve them breaking furniture.) And in
Soup Snakes  Kaling spills some secrets on her relationship with her ex-boyfriend and close
friend  B.J. Novak (I will freely admit: my relationship with B.J. Novak is weird as hell.)
Mindy turns the anxieties  the glamour  and the celebrations of her second coming-of-age into a
laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who's ever been at a turning point in
their life or career can relate to. And those who've never been at a turning point can skip to
the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.
