Discussion

Who was my favourite character and why?

This novel was mainly about Mindy Kaling’s life, her friends, her family and her adventures of becoming a comedian and writer. Mindy is quite the character, sharing more than she needs too, and telling jokes to easy an awkwardness, and to be honest it’s very funny!

Were the characters relatable and/or believable?

I couldn’t relate to Mindy because she lives in such a different world that I do, but I still enjoyed reading about her life, her challenges, and her ability to become successful. All the more, she was able to do it in a humorous way (bonus!).

Did the story keep you on the edge of your seat?

This wasn’t your average action novel that had me waiting to see what happened next, but it was an entertaining book that kept me wanting to read more.

Something I would change about the novel?

I enjoyed this novel, but some parts were a bit more detailed than they needed to be, but the stories she told were worth it.

Review:

Overall, if you are looking for a light read that will make you laugh, this is the novel for you!

I would give this novel 3 out of 5 tea mugs.

Until next time,

Emma
