Mindy Kaling excitedly shares a moment of joy when she discovers that Malia Obama, the daughter of former President Obama, was reading her book "Why Not Me?" This unexpected connection made Mindy feel ecstatic, as it's a notable event for any author to have their work read by someone of Malia's prominence.
This revelation came despite a less enthusiastic review of her book on Amazon, which described it as "sort of meh." Nevertheless, the news of Malia engaging with her writing lifted Mindy's spirits significantly and highlighted the impact of her work.
