(When I told my mom I wanted this book for Christmas, her response was "Why? The Office isn't even funny." Moms.)
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? And Other Concerns
by Mindy Kaling
I usually don't read books in one sitting, but much like Tina Fey's book, I devoured this in a couple of hours. Mindy has the best voice (I guess that's to be expected, she's a writer and comedian) and her chapters read like your best friend is telling you the funniest story.
What really impressed me is that while the entire thing is hilarious, it's also so very relate-able. Reading about her struggles to accept critique and work in a writing group - learning to play well with others - is a lesson anyone (me me me) can definitely pocket. Her honesty is admirable. Every time I've hears someone mention this book, their response is always how much Mindy is like them. I think this is just because everything she writes is so honest, how could it NOT reflect your life too? Real-world observations and experiences.
I definitely recommend.
Excerpt on Amazon.
