Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook

Product Information

If you think chanting in a yoga class is the best thing ever, then good for you (even though it makes me want to gouge my eyes out with steaming-hot pokers). She takes charge when she needs to (just watch any of her birthday episodes) but she is definitely a girls girl and will be there for you when you need it most. First let me say, despite what you might think if you’ve seen me on Vanderpump Rules—I am not an authority on life what-so-fucking-ever. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Discover how to embrace your best basic self in this laugh-out-loud funny guide from the breakout star of Bravo’s hit reality show Vanderpump Rules, perfect for fans of the relatable and entertaining books by the Betches and Andi Dorfman.

I love silly, ridiculous people and their stories and I’m sure this book is ideal for teenagers, but as a 35 year old woman very very little coming out of this book resonated with me. I got this and Off with My Head: The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom from the library, so we'll see if she has something more interesting to say after getting cancelled.This book is for everyone out there who is tired of pretending they would rather read War and Peace or see a Daniel Day-Lewis movie about sewing than watch a Saw marathon and drink a delicious but basic AF cocktail like a Kir Royale.

Discover how to embrace your best basic self in this instant New York Times bestselling, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and “refreshing to read” (The Cut) guidebook from the breakout star of Bravo’s hit reality show Vanderpump Rules. Over the course of 19 chapters she jumps from fashion, to dating, to her “quirky” interest in serial killers, and provides anecdotes and tips on how to be proud of whatever it is that you like. Embracing your basicness can actually make you a happier person for one simple reason—because it’s fun. I never thought I had room for art or that I would be any good at it, probably because at some point someone made me feel I wasn’t an artist.I'm a HUGE Vanderpump rules fan so for me I was going to read this regardless of the style or content of the book. Yes, I love watching people being ridiculous on TV, but I also read almost 300 books last year, and have a college degree, so y'all can kiss my ass.

If you want to laugh and enjoy someone being absolutely real with you, then I encourage you to pick up this book.Stassi Schroeder is the author of Off with My Head and the New York Times bestseller Next Level Basic. It’s so much more fulfilling to bond with people over your shared love of, say, overplayed pop songs or astrology than it is to sit in a corner and act like a hater. I want to say first that you most likely won't fully appreciate this book without knowing who Stassi is. The writing wasn't great but the message of the book was good and it left me feeling more confident when I was done reading it.

I gave Holly Madison’s Playboy memoir five stars and I meant every single one of them, so I went into this book with a pretty open mind, and wasn't prepared to dismiss it just because it’s written by someone who became famous for being awful on a Bravo show. Her talking about all-day pool parties and insisting that La Mer is the best facial moisturizer made me roll my eyes. To her credit, Stassi was going through a rough time when VanderPump started and she likely handled it in the best way she knew how. I purchased Next Level Basic for this camping trip thinking it would be a light read and help me go down for my mid-afternoon hammock nap.

All humans have basic tendencies, and I am the living embodiment of a human who embraces her inner basic bitch, with pride.
