Reseñas de la Crítica

“Mindy Kaling narrates her latest volume of quirky, sarcastic, hilarious essays on being a 40-something mother in Hollywood. She is everything fans of her television shows, such as The Office and The Mindy Project, have come to expect—lively, upbeat, and irreverent. The overall effect is that listeners feel they are in the room with Kaling as she is semi-ranting over coffee—or something stronger. She races through a diverse array of topics—from contemplating her Hindu spiritual origins and picking up expensive dinner tabs to turning 40. Kaling is unflinching in sharing the intimate details of her life. Listeners will laugh throughout these humorous reflections. Kaling delivers what have come to be her trademarks in this recent installment.” - Audiofile Magazine

Mindy Kaling is back and just as excellent

My only complaint is that I wish it was at least twice as long as it is. Here’s hoping she writes another collection soon!

Funny!

I’ve had this in my library for months and finally listened today. Well written. Funny. Well read.

Laughed out loud

It was like having a conversation with Mindy . She made me laugh throughout the whole book.

Loved it.

This was really entertaining. The narration was funny and immersive. It was captivating. I Loved it.

Fun & Quick Listen!

This was a fun, funny and super quick listen. My only complaint is that I wanted more. Love Mindy!

Another enjoyable listen

I’ve read Mindy’s other books as well and enjoyed them immensely this was another fun installment. Listened straight through, quick and light, a nice addition to my day.

Interesting

Her book was relatable, honest & comical :) I just wish it was a little longer, because I really did enjoy it!! I want to be her friend in real life lol

Enjoyed Mindy's humorous delivery

Mindy's collection of small stories and life lessons she shares was a great way to get to know her as a person.I enjoy her sense of humor and writing style. I'm not a big television watcher and feel like I'm probably one of a dozen Americans on this Earth who hasn't watched the Office, but have seen snippets of her in interviews or various other works.

Enjoyed the time spent listening to this audio book.

Bite-Sized Mindy Kaling Gems

I've enjoyed the audiobook versions of Mindy Kaling's other books, so picking this one up was an easy decision. And it turned out to be a delightful collection of shorter pieces, so essentially a collection of her essays. It's more of her distinct Mindy Kaling wit and charm that also makes her even more relatable and endearing.

I loved, love, loved this little collection. Totally worth it.

exactly what I need right now

I am pretty down with day-to-day life in a pandemic. listening to Mindy's book as I take short walks or trips to the McDonald's drive-thruhas been absolute heaven and a wonderful escape. Mindy is delightful, smart, funny, and best of all, real. I hope she will write another collection of essays. Thank you, Mindy, for sharing your talent and stories with us!
