Publisher's summary

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.

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 or think you have to be pretentious to be cool. 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.

This audiobook is for people tired of pretending they would rather see a Daniel Day-Lewis movie about sewing or read War and Peace than watch a Saw marathon or listen to...well, this audiobook!

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.

I cant belive I wasted a credit on this

I wanted to listen to this so bad and I wanted to like it. but, i just cant. it doesnt even sound like shes trying not to read from a script. it also just sounds like that one really good friend who's a little drunk, and your the DD and shes stuck in the bathroom with another drunk girl and wont stop talking.

Okay AF

How many times can someone say Basic AF? Well if you read this book, you will hear it every other sentence. Let me recap this book for you. Be yourself and you can title yourself Basic AF. Stassi tells you to be yourself, but also she is gonna judge you for it. She contradicts herself left and right, but I give her props. She made made money off me (I drank the kool-aid and thought this book might be worth it) so I purchased it. Instant regret.

Worst book I’ve listened to

Seriously, I haven’t listened to a book this bad, ever. It was terrible. So random and literally made me want to throw up in spots.

Basic Bitch essential!

Ok, so I'm a 52 year old attorney and I work with some pretty serious stuff---survivors of sexual assault--that kind of thing and I love watching Vanderpump Rules b/c it reminds me of me and my friends when we were in our 30's...before marriage, kids and all that serious stuff. Just fun to watch human behavior at it's finest! I started listening to Stassi's podcast and find it cheers me up to listen to her banter about basic bitch things especially when life can be so fucking serious and no fun. Stop taking yourselves so seriously, people! Stassi is bright, witty and authentic. A natural performer...she has the gift of gab and ability to tell stories in the most amusing fashion.

Snooze

I couldn’t listen anymore. Not interesting and a very overuse of the acronym “A.F.” I think it would have been better to just say the word f*ck.

Thank God I could "LISTEN" because I can't....

...imagine trying to "READ" a hard paper printed copying this book!! AF

Basically, it's a basic book about every imaginable basic subject matter under the AF sun.

I wouldn't recommend for anybody over 35 years old.

It's basically, a crappy book

Big fan of Vanderpump and the whole cast, but this book was tough to listen to. Not my cup of pumpkin spice latte.

Great quick fun read!

I’m so glad this popped up ready to read on a sleepless night. It’s fun, lighthearted and easy going, and also empowering in a sweet way. She did an awesome job reading her own book. I mean yay for Instagram tricks and a very thorough line up of ranch dressings, right?!

High expectations, totally not disappointed.

Stassi is my favorite part of Vanderpump rules. I was extremely wary about listening to this book because sometimes reality stars books are lackluster. But this book is 100% Stassi. It’s well paced and a nice easy listen for a few car rides.
