Amazon have said: “Next Summer, best-selling author, actor, and producer @mindykaling will offer her fresh take on life, love, and single mommy-hood in a series of bite-sized essays spanning the past few years. Coming soon to Amazon Original Stories.

One wrote: “Prayers answered. I’ve been anxiously waiting for a follow up to Why Not Me.”
Another added: “Oh my God. Thanks for clarifying. I was beginning to think you’d gone to the dark side of maternal perfection on us and I was about to abandon all hope.”
And a third wrote: “Have we noticed that Mindy Kaling has series on Hulu, a movie from Netflix, and a book from Amazon? She is a force!”
