Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) is a 2011 memoir by writer and actress Mindy Kaling. The book was on the New York Times Bestsellers list for 5 weeks. [1]
In 2010 Crown Publishing Group announced that it acquired a book from Kaling, and described it as a cross between the Nora Ephron play Love, Loss and What I Wore and Kaling's blog "Things I've Bought That I Love." The book was originally titled The Contents of My Purse. [2]
Kaling tells stories from her life and details her observations about love, friendship, Hollywood, dieting, her relationship with her mother, among other things. [3]
Jen Chaney of The Washington Post called the book "a breezy, intermittently amusing and somewhat unfocused first essay collection." [4]
