Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook

Product Information

This book is for people who want to let their basicness shine and listen to show tunes while they drive to the gym (with a full face of makeup, natch), but then drive past the gym and head to the bar instead. If you want to read a book about someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, then pick this one up!

Personally, I’m tired of people feeling ashamed of what they’re into just because they’re afraid someone might make fun of their love of bedazzled ranch dressing bottles or because they watched Kylie’s ten-minute pregnancy video more than once. I mean, you have to be kind of brave to live in foodie LA and admit that hot dogs and Cool Ranch Doritos are among your favorite foods.If you want to laugh and enjoy someone being absolutely real with you, then I encourage you to pick up this book. It’s so much more fulfilling to bond with people over your shared love of, say, overplayed pop songs or astrology than it is to sit in a corner and act like a hater. This book is for everyone out there who is tired of pretending they would rather read War and Peace or see a Daniel Day-Lewis movie about sewing than watch a Saw marathon and drink a delicious but basic AF cocktail like a Kir Royale.

I’m not the best at it but I’m my best when I’m doing it and I never have to go another day without art — and that is the ultimate bright side.I love silly, ridiculous people and their stories and I’m sure this book is ideal for teenagers, but as a 35 year old woman very very little coming out of this book resonated with me.
