365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #116: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

I recently started watching the first season of The Mindy Project on Hulu and so far I'm enjoying the show. I mention this because earlier today while I was on my lunch break, I stopped by the bookstore. As I was browsing the nonfiction display table I spotted this book. Even before I started watching the show, I heard that this was a fun read.

Since, I'm trying to stick to my budget, I sadly didn't buy it. So for now I will add it to my wishlist.

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

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.
