A collection of essays that are as hilarious and insightful as they are deeply personal . . . 

Author, screenwriter, actress, and creator/star of 'The Mindy Project,' Mindy Kaling 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.  

“Kaling's irreverent take on life is both uproariously funny and dead-on.  Why Not Me? offers  advice on a variety of topics (including why extensions make everyone more beautiful and how the world needs to start assuming that all young women are confident) make this an empowering and entertaining read.” -- Publishers Weekly
