Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
4.0
I pulled this book out of a Little Free Library a while ago with no idea who Mindy Kaling was (yes, I live under a rock). I thought it looked like a funny book and I love reading memoirs, so I thought this would be a good fit. Flash to 2025 when me and my boyfriend started watching "The Office: together. I am constantly reorganizing my books and looking for more nonfiction reads, so when I once more came across this book, this time around I recognized who Mindy Kaling is. So why not dive into one of her memoirs? And that's exactly what I did!
Even though me and Mindy have quite different lifestyles, ways of thinking, and humor styles, I still found myself really enjoying this memoir. Learning more about the film industry, scriptwriting, and acting was really neat. The fact that I've finally fallen into the hive mindset that is "The Office," much of this book was really cool to read. I love learning about actors that portray iconic characters, so having such a personal view into the actor behind Kelly was awesome. And the fact that she is one of the writers on the show is also quite apparent; one can really read her humor style in the words that she pens.
Mindy has big opinions on things such as celebrities, clothing, best friends, boyfriends, marriage, music, crying, filmmaking, and so much more. I enjoyed many essays in this book, whereas others did absolutely nothing for me. I'd say that there is a little bit of something for everyone in this memoir.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)." Mindy is quite an interesting human with strong opinions and often bizarre perspectives. It was neat learning more about her time on "The Office" and the early parts of her career. I'll definitely have to check out more of her books in the future!
