Mindy Kaling, star of page and screen, is coming out with a follow up to her collection of essays “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (and Other Concerns).” The new book, currently being written, will be called “Why Not Me?” and will cover everything that’s happened since her first book’s release in 2011 — which, in Mindy Kaling’s case, is quite a lot.
“The show; my mother passed away; so many of my friends have gotten married. I’m a godmother now, and a homeowner. There’s so much that has happened in that period of time that I wanted to write another book,” Kaling told the LA Times‘ Yvonne Villarreal. “…I can only fit so much into the show and have all this extra stuff and I love writing in that format. It’s very different from writing dialog.”
