Millions of Vanderpump Rules viewers and podcast listeners know Stassi Schroeder as a major defender of Basic Bitch rights. There’s nothing more boring than people who take themselves too seriously. Stassi champions the things that many of us are afraid to love publicly for fear of being labeled basic: lattes, pugs, bubbly cocktails, millennial pink, #OOTD (outfit of the day, obvs), astrology, hot dogs, the perfect pair of Louboutins, romantic comedies...the list goes on and on.
“There’s something for everyone under Schroeder’s big basic umbrella” (Elle) and in Next Level Basic, the reality star, podcast queen, and ranch dressing expert gives you hilarious and pointed lessons on how to have fun and celebrate yourself, with exclusive stories from her own life and on the set of Vanderpump Rules. From her very public breakups to her most intimate details about her plastic surgery, Stassi shares her own personal experiences with her trademark honesty—all with the hope you can learn something from them.

Loved this
I don’t leave reviews or read a lot of books, I decided to go with this because I watch Vander pump rules and A fan of Stassi. It was a New York Times bestseller and I see why she is brilliant clever really funny I did feel empowered after reading his book just a lot more positive.
The book was great I enjoyed it a lot.
And to the negative reviews that some people are leaving without purchasing the book without reading the book just to bring down her Ratings, shame on you for judging a person put their mistakes I guess you never made a mistake look in the mirror and see if you are worthy to judge someone especially someone who you don’t know you watch on TV you don’t know anything about her never met her but yet you feel you should have a voice and platform. Ah no thanks!
Interesting at times
For her first stab at it, it is a good effort, although the Abbreviations for everything started to get really annoying, totes. (Sorry, couldn’t resist). When I finished it, there seemed to be a gap at the end, no real wrap up, maybe she was working on a follow up.
A little mediocre
I loved Stassi on VPR (before everything unfolded as we know) so I was eager to read this book. I feel like she dumbed her words way too much to try and sound funny and quirky and it just made the book hard to get through at times. I enjoyed the stories from her past but that’s about it.
