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 I swear I'll shut up?"
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great 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 a room at any time and acts accordingly, or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you could 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.
