Off with My Head: The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom
The New York Times bestselling author of Next Level Basic and fan-favorite alumna of Bravo's Vanderpump Rules returns with the definitive Basic Bitch handbook for surviving your rock-bottom moments.
The year 2020 was going to be the best year of Stassi's life. Besides getting engaged and feeling like she was on top of the world career-wise, she bought her first house and was planning her dream Italian wedding. The future showed so much freaking promise-until it all went to hell. Stassi may not be perfect-she may have made some (major) mistakes-but she does feel like she has some insight (and plenty of hilarious tales) about getting knocked up, called out, and learning from what went wrong.
Through stories, confessions, illustrations, and plenty of self-reflection and self-deprecation, this new bookgoes behind the scenes and addresses the experience of getting cancelled, getting that positive pregnancy test, and saying "I do" in the backyard instead of in Italy. Stassi won't hold back about her transformation from proud basic bitch to... proud basic bitch who has a deeper appreciation for what's really important in life: love, relationships, mutual respect, and, okay fine, an Aperol spritz and some showtunes when you need them most.
Stassi hopes her story will help others see the light at the end of the tunnel in their own lives and make them laugh along the way. She writes about the importance of having a good cry (at work, in the shower, in your closet), ways to navigate social media responsibly (sometimes that means logging the eff off when crowds are chanting, "OFF WITH HER HEAD"), how to practice self-care when wine is not an option, and how nottobecome a Bridezilla-plus she'll offer tips on marrying your f*ckboy, embracing pregnancy sweats (both cashmere sweats and night sweats), and styling baby OOTDs.
So roll up your bedazzled sleeves…or the sleeves of the tattered robe you've been wearing nonstop because you're at rock bottom; grab a cocktail; and let your favorite (more evolved) basic bitch take you on a wild ride inside the bumpiest year of her life.

I’ve always been a Stassi fan. No one is perfect, but I really think she has done so much growing in the past few years. Especially after becoming a mother. I wish her nothing but success and can’t wait to finish this book!

Fun, interesting read for Pump Rules fans. I read it in bed one morning and found it fascinating to hear her thoughts, for the first time, on being "cancelled" as well as the perspective she has gained from that experience. It's also quite well-written — has the tone of a good chick-lit book.

I got this today and dove right in! I love bravo, love Stassi, so this was right up my alley. The book cover/color combo is dreamy af

The tone is completely different from her previous book and it is so refreshing to read about her rock bottom and how she has navigated it in such a positive way. Stassi graduates from VPR reality star to a role model for those that make mistakes and can still come out successful and empathetic on the other side. Congratulations!
