It took me about a week of commuting to listen to this book, and it was one of those books that actually made me look forward to getting into the car.
For those of you who don't know who Mindy Kaling is (aka those of you living under a rock), she is an Indian-American comedian, actress, writer, producer, and director. You may know her as Kelly Kapoor on the American version of The Office as well as Mindy Lahiri on The Mindy Project. I seriously love The Mindy Project, which is one of the things that prompted me to pick up this book.
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? was written back in 2011, so this was before TMP took off. Mindy discusses her childhood, adolescence, time spent at Dartmouth College, her best friends, odd jobs, and career moves. But what also fills the pages are her opinions on: the difference between men and boys, the rules of being a best friend, her demands for a perfect funeral, her hatred for riding bikes, and the difference between terms such as "chubby" and "obesetron" (among many, many other things).
Funny, witty and full of Mindy's personal experiences and opinions, this book was one of those laugh-out-loud reads that you make mental notes about, so as to sound funny at a party.
I give this book 5 stars and will recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and light read.
p.s. Fun Fact: Mindy's real name is Vera Mindy Chokalingam.
