2.5 stars.
Oh Stassi… I’m not sure what I was expecting from this. I love Vanderpump Rules and I love her on it. She’s so blunt and hilarious. I mean, she’s basically a b*tch. LOL. Since I love the show so much, I was definitely going to read this. Thankfully, I did not purchase it!
One of my biggest issues with this book is how many times she used “basic bitch” in this book. I get it, that’s what this is about. She doesn’t need to use it 5000 times! Another phrase that was really overdone was “AF”. I really wasn’t sure what she was going for with this book. Was it supposed to be about her? Her life? It was more just a bunch of random things. I mean.. she has a whole section of this book talking about the best hot dogs and ranch dressing.
If you are going into this looking for information about the show and those on the show, you are looking in the wrong direction. There’s really not much about the show. She does talk about her relationships and briefly brings up her friends. But really, there isn’t all that much about her life either.
I really felt like this book was not “Stassi” at all. She’s blunt and controversial and that’s what I wanted to read about. She was definitely not that in this book. In fact, she spends time apologizing for a lot of her past that got her in trouble with sponsors. Hmm… okay.
I’m glad this was a short read because I almost DNF’d this book! This kind of proves that just because you are sorta famous, doesn’t mean you can write a book!
