Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)

By Mindy Kaling

A series of comic essays about Kaling's life, including growing up as the studious child of Indian-American professionals, through her stint as a writer/actor for the television series The Office.  She even included how to conduct her funeral.   I didn't expect too much, since the book is only 240 pages and she's in her early thirties.  Then, I was pleasantly surprised.  I could relate to a childhood of being the shy, awkward, embarrassment for her brother.  But I could laugh and learn about the joy of three girls living is a third floor walkup studio in NYC.  Good, light read... I wish she would have written a longer book.
