Writer/Director/Actress Mindy Kaling dishes on pop culture, relationships, and her own sometimes funny/sometimes painful childhood in Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns).
Kaling is probably best known from the television show The Office, and she talks quite a bit about that experience for fans, but her stories of the slings and arrows it took to get there are also interesting.
Kaling also addresses body image issues and being a person of color in the entertainment field, among other topics, although generally with a light hand.
She acknowledges her slender book is more or less in the same category as the ones written by people like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Sarah Silverman (all three of which I also liked) and would be enjoyed by readers who are fans of any of these talents.
I have listened to all of these, and others (such as Lena Durham's) read by the author on audiobook, which I think adds value.
I checked this out from the New Castle-Henry County Memorial Library in New Castle, Indiana.
