Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers. Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls.

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
I listened to the audio version which is recorded by Mindy and slightly adapted to fit an audio version. I had read reviews but wasn't sure I could handle an entire book spoken by Mindy but was pleasantly suprised by how much I enjoyed it and laughed out loud. It was perfect for listening to in the car. Plus I learned that she is really a comedy writer and became an actress from writing for the show. I found her book really empowering and made me like her so much more. I loved how she wrote about her upbringing and being an overweight woman. It felt very real.
