Not every author can (or should) narrate their books but, I can’t imagine anyone but Mindy Kaling reading Mindy Kaling’s books. She is engaging and her witty insights are only enhanced by her reading them. I was disappointed that Nothing Like I Imagined was on the shorter side as it felt like the audiobook had barely gotten started. However, despite its length, Mindy Kaling never lets me down. I was laughing throughout most of the novel. Lastly, as a person with a husband, I envy Mindy Kaling’s extra bedside table.
