Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook by Stassi Schroeder   240 pages

  Very funny and in your face humor and very real living the basic life instructions from "Vanderpump Rules," star and also podcaster, Stassi Schroeder, who claims the title of major defender of Basic Bitch rights.  Stassi cuts through all the hyperbole stating there is nothing more boring than people who take themselves too seriously or think you have to be pretentious to be cool.   While she loves lattes, pug dogs, her outfit of the day, astrology, and agrees wholeheartedly with Betty White's take that hotdogs and vodka lead to a long life.   She says her book is for all the people who are tired of pretending they would rather read "War and Peace" or watch Daniel-Day Lewis films instead of admitting they are fans of the "Saw" film series.   She loves dipping her pizza in Ranch Dressing and would rather have Hidden Valley Ranch tattooed on her forehead than to have a tribal tattoo anywhere on her body.   She is an open book about her relationships, her breakups, how one ex tried to sell a sex tape of her to TMZ, she talks about her botox treatments, how she screwed up friendships making an on camera joke about her A-List and B-List friends for which she still apologizes profusely - seems she got into a tiff with the actor friends she worked with on the show and set up a girls night out with her girlfriends she used to waitress with and made a joke about it which went viral and she had to do damage control to let her waitress buddies know it was only a joke - she got ripped on social media for it.   A very funny and very honest take on the world from a self described basic af bitch.   I will recommend this to high schoolers on up since there is some foul language to be found here, but, always with humor involved.
