Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
VolunteerVal avatar reviewed on + 596 more book reviews


I laughed out loud many times (in my car, alone) while listening to Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? written and read by Mindy Kaling. This was a perfect palate cleanser after several long and âserious' audiobooks.

Audio is the perfect way to read this collection of short, very personal essays - it felt like I was running errands with a smart, funny friend as my passenger. The essay topics range from Mindy's teen years, friendships, and career, to the virtues of male chest hair.

Published in 2011, the essays don't sound dated except for a few references to her Blackberry. This is pre-motherhood and The Mindy Project so those topics aren't addressed.

If you haven't read this and are in the mood for a short humorous non-fiction audiobook, give this a listen.
