After devouring her 2011 memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), fans have been left anxiously wondering, when does the new Mindy Kaling book come out? I'm here to tell you that Kaling's second memoir, Why Not Me?, will hit store shelves on September 15, which, coincidentally, is the same day her cult-hit TV series, The Mindy Project , comes back on Hulu for its fourth season. It's going to be one hectic day for Kaling and her fans.
Like Kaling's first book, Why Not Me?, is full of the actress-writer-producer-director's witty, self-deprecating musings on weird relationships, meeting Bradley Cooper, and being an Indian-American woman in Hollywood. The 36-year-old discusses coming of age all over again as she navigates career advancement, celebrity gossip, passive attempts at weight loss, and friendships-gone-wrong.
Copy on Kaling's website describes her new book as "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," but I think it's safe to say that any fan of her work on The Office and The Mindy Project will enjoy reading the details of her hilariously awkward exploits.
Why Not Me? has the kind of humor you need to get you through whatever funk you've run into this year.
Even though the book's release date is still more than a month away, tickets are on sale now for the Why Not Me? book tour, which kicks off September 14 for seven stops in Massachusetts, New York, D.C., and California. You can pre-order Kaling's second memoir from your favorite retailer today.
