Book Description
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 with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy 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 convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, you’ve come to the right book, mostly!
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, 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. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door—not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.

Very real and very funny!,

This review is from: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) (Hardcover)
I love this book! Mindy is so cool, and very real. I have always found her fascinating and I love her sarcasm! I enjoy how she is soo honest and shameless in her book. She goes from being totally serious to being so funny you can't help but laugh out loud on the city transit at 8:30 in the morning and people look at you like you are a nut. I also loved the pop culture references and how I could relate. I tried to pick a favourite quote but it was impossible. There were soo many. A few examples are, "The chorus of "Jack and Diane" is: Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. Are you kidding me? The thrill of living was high school? Come on, Mr. Cougar Mellencamp. Get a life.", and "It wasn't even one of those stoic pimples that goes quietly when you pop it; this one was cystic and painful and had roots that seemed to extend into my brain.", and another one, "And if you're older than twenty-eight, than just kissing someone doesn't count for crap and is not even worth mentioning. Unless you're Mormon, in which case you're going to hell." I guess I better stop before I ruin it for you. But seriously, she is someone I wish I knew! She doesn't go all gossipy about people and is greatly thankful for the chances she has been given, and for her friends and her family. I don't think I'll ever read a memoir that I could love as much as this one. This book is engaging, light, and uplifting, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to laugh:)

Funny, honest, smart, and funny some more.,
By Rachel (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) (Hardcover)
Reading Mindy Kaling's book on the subway is a sure fire way to get attention. You will read. You will laugh out loud. You will get stared at.It's easy to compare her to the likes of Tina Fey and Nora Ephron, but she is an original unto her hilarious self. To be perfectly honest, I believe that Mindy Kaling looked deep into my soul and my brainpan and wrote this book just for me. I relate to it on so many different levels. From her thoughts on Mark Darcy, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer (only one of the best movies ever, btw), and wanting a clear definition for 'hooking up', her essays are enjoyable, funny, smart, and hard to put down.

Very Relatable, Nice Light Read,
This review is from: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) (Hardcover)
Love Miss Mindy- a little disjointed, but very relatable observations! A great read for any female who appreciates smart comedy.
