Review: Psychos: A White Girl Problems Book by Babe Walker

Title: Psychos: A White Girl Problems Book

Author: Babe Walker

Publisher: Gallery Books

Pub date: 4/29/2014

Summary from Amazon:
If you’re one of the hundreds of thousands who devoured Babe Walker’s New York Times bestselling novel White Girl Problems or one of the million people who read her blog or follow her on Twitter daily, then you’ve obviously been waiting with bated breath for her hilarious follow-up novel, Psychos.
Fresh from a four-month stint in rehab for her “alleged” shopping addiction, Babe Walker returns home to Bel Air ten pounds lighter (thanks to a stomach virus), having made amends (she told a counselor with bad skin she was smart) and confronted her past (after meeting her birth mother for the first time—a fashion model turned farmer lesbian). Although delighted to be home and determined to maintain her hard-won inner peace, Babe now faces a host of outside forces seemingly intent on derailing her path to positive change. Not only is she being trailed by an anonymous stalker, but she’s also reunited with the love of her life, a relationship that she cannot seem to stop self-sabotaging.

Babe’s newfound spirituality, coupled with her faith in the universe and its messages, leads her all over the world: shoulder dancing in Paris, tripping out in Amsterdam, and hooking up in the Mediterranean, only to land her back in New York City, forced to choose between a man who is perfect in every way (except for one small detail) and a man who could be The One if only he didn’t drive Babe to utter insanity.

Unapologetic and uproarious, Psychos is the send-up of the season—already as timeless as vintage Dior.

My thoughts/review: 

Psychos is the sequel to the first White Girl Problems book. Babe Walker returns home from rehab and takes readers on a wild ride with her as she travels from Paris, Amsterdam, Switzerland and New York because she is running from a crazy stalker. This book was over the top, crazy and fabulous because Babe is crazy. Like seriously. For some reason while I was reading it, I pictured Babe as a young Rachael Zoe. I think its because Babe loves fashion and has a California vibe. There was never a dull moment because I didn't know what Babe or Babette would do next. This book is a fast paced hilarious read with some twists and a mystery element to it.
