I have reached a turning point! This is my last back logged review from a book I read in 2019!!! I waited for this one FOREVER at my local library! Was it worth my painstaking wait? Let’s see…
I want to start this review and say, I have a bias. I LOVE the show Vanderpump Rules. I’ve gone back and forth on my feelings for Stassi, but as of lately I am loving her. I loved this book. If you’ve watched the show you will know that this book is written completely in her voice.
We get a little backstory on Stassi and her upbringing. What I loved most about this book is that she isn’t afraid to say what she is feeling. She lets her opinion be known and if you don’t like it, tough. The moral I got from reading this was to be yourself, who cares what others think. It ended up being an empowering read!
I found myself laughing out loud quite a bit from her antics. It was a light, enjoyable read. It was good AF. Yes, she uses that a LOT in the book. If you have ever watched the show, it wouldn’t surprise you.
4 stars. I wouldn’t recommend this to someone who isn’t in to Bravo reality shows. I have a lot more respect for Stassi after reading this. This certainly would be an enjoyable book to a #PumpRules fan. For others, meeeeeeeh maybe pass it up. I enjoyed it…and guess what, I don’t care if you don’t!
