Babe Walker, center of the universe, is a painstakingly
manicured white girl with an expensive smoothie habit, a proclivity for
Louboutins, a mysterious mother she’s never met, and approximately 50 bajillion
Twitter followers. But her “problems” have
landed her in shopping rehab – that’s what happens when you spend $246,893.50
in one afternoon at Barneys. Now she’s
decided to write her memoir, revealing the gut-wrenching hurdles she’s had to
overcome in order to be perfect in every way, every day. Hurdles such as: I hate my horse. Every job I've ever had is the worst job I've ever had. He’s not a doctor, a lawyer,
or a prince. I’ll eat anything, as long
as it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, low-calorie, sugar-free, and
organic.
My Thoughts
If you enjoy reading "memoirs" about an overly rich, spoiled, shallow, neurotic, self-absorbed, materialistic, annoying, selfish socialite with major "problems" then this is the "memoir" for you! Yes there were parts that I found funny and gave myself a chuckle but overall I just found it unrealistic. You just want to be embarrassed for Babe Walker, but you can't.
After attempting to Google Babe Walker and finding nothing but a blog and Twitter account I then learned that she isn't even a real person - just a made up character.
Yes I purchased the book (on sale for $2.99) and yes I will probably read the next book Psychos: A White Girl Problems Novel (when it also goes on sale for $2.99) and yes I started following @whitegrlproblems on Twitter (for entertainment purposes) but overall this was a bit of a disappointing read. But in the end I guess it served it's purpose because I've clearly gotten caught up in the antics of "Babe Walker." xo

The reviews made here are my personal opinion. I’m not being paid to review any of these books. I am by no means a professional book reviewer or editor. I do this for the love of books.
