Mindy Kaling, author of Why Not Me? "A fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave book. I was spellbound from the first page to the last." Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild "Generous, entertaining...this memoir will enthusiastically reach out to female readers and swiftly draw them close."
