If you've always wanted to know more of the story behind Mindy Kaling's on-again, off-again romance with BJ Novak—described by a publishing industry source as a "complicated" relationship that took place while they were co-starring on The Office—then you're in luck. And so are Kaling and Novak, who will get $7.5 million to co-author a book about said romance, that source tells the New York Daily News, adding that that's "a crazy price." The book will supposedly be announced (in what was supposed to be a surprise move) at a May 30 BookCon event where Kaling and Novak will appear. (Kaling once said she would have married Novak, who is now her "best friend.")
