The New York Daily News reports that the book’s title will likely be announced on May 30th at a talk originally billed as a discussion of Kaling’s upcoming book of essays, Why Not Me?

At about the same time, Novak talked to People magazine about Kaling and their relationship: “A really complicated person and a really complicated friendship, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world,” he said .

Can’t…wait…to read several hundred pages about this!
