Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy KalingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
summarry 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.
review-I don’t read books like this like ever but I love mindy as a person and her show the mindy project this book made me laugh I have so many lines highlighted they made me laugh I watch mindy’s show the mindy project and she is exactly as funny in written form I feel like I can relate to her being a curvy girl myself and being made fun of harsh right or when she hit her best friend in a production she was doing she gives you a great laugh I’d say if your going to read this read it with the audio book it’s so much better mindy is an awesome person she talks how she got to write for the tv show the office it’s one of those books you can read and say can I be best friends with her .
favorite quotes
“Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What I’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.”
There are many teenage vampire books you could have purchased instead. I'm grateful you made this choice.”
