Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
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.
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.
