This was cute like her. When she said she cries at things that remind her of her childhood even if they aren't sad, I felt that.

A fun book, it had me snorting a couple of times! It won't change your life, but if you've been binge watching the Office on Netflix like me and my family have been doing lately, you will probably enjoy this one.
Easy read for a plane ride. Some laugh out loud moments but some of the material is a little dated.

Self-admittedly a lesser incarnation of Bossy Pants. Feels like a condensed memoir scattered with mildly amusing essays that would require you like Mindy's other work.
I like to pick a short non-fiction read to play during my Friday workday, and this week’s was “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me.” This is the third such celebrity memoir I’ve read like this recently (Amy Poehler’s and Tina Fey’s books were the others), and I liked this one least of the three. But! I don’t think that’s the fault of Mindy or a reflection of the quality of the book. It’s simply that Mindy was a lot younger when she wrote this than the other two when they wrote their books, so there was a little less “memoir/life lesson/career trajectory” meat to it in proportion to the whimsy and comedy writing. My personal preference is for more of the latter, so I liked the other two more, but I didn’t NOT enjoy this. Mindy is really fun person to spend 5 hours on audio with, and it’s fun to read this from a time when she was still earlier in her career seeing all that she’s done now. I’ll definitely consider reading her second book, as I bet it’ll have more of what I like out of books like these.
