Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? By Mindy Kaling

Interest Level: Adult
Reading Level: Adult
Lexile: NR
Genre: Autobiography

Mindy Kaling is an actress, a playwright, and a television comedy writer. This book takes the reader on a tour of Mindy's life and her opinions on romance, friendship, and show-business. Mindy is the girl next door; an obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, an actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers.

Mindy shares what she thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get into any trouble with the law).

This book was entertaining. I chuckled out loud a couple of times and smiled frequently. I listened to this as an audiobook while I walked. I am unsure if I would have been as successful in completing it in such a timely manner if I had read it instead of listened to it. Mindy herself read it and did an excellent job of it. In fact, her performance made the book for me.
