Babe Walker Is My Spirit Animal
Author of New York Times Bestseller: White Girl Problems and it’s follow up memoir: Psychos
She’s the type of girl that you instantly want to become best friends with, but at the same time, you’d run a mile if you ever met her due to being scared to death of her ‘tells it exactly as it is’ attitude. Especially if like me your wardrobe consists of common high street bargain buys (H&M, New Look, Miss Selfridge, Forever 21) Don’t get me wrong I LOVE these shops and these stores will feature a lot in my shopping hauls but for Babe, if its not designer, its so not chic!

I discovered ‘White Girl Problems’ after seeing Ashley Benson tweet about the sequel [ @AshBenzo ] ‘Psychos’. After finding the book on amazon I knew I couldn’t wait to read it after just reading the blurb; Seriously, check it out!
I’m not usually a fast reader but I was so hooked I read it in just 3 days (I’m usually more of a chapter here and there/ 2 months kind of reader) I just had to know what she was going to do next! and lets face it with chapter titles such as;
- If I like him, he’s probably gay
- My vagina is bullshit
- I hate my horse
- it’s 5:15. How much weight could I lose by 8:00?
- I need a therapist to talk to about the problems I’m having with my therapist
How could you not want to just carry on reading until your eyes sting! After reading ‘White Girl Problems’ I immediately pre-ordered ‘Psychos’ (you lucky bitches won’t have to wait now though because it was released April 29!) and again I read the book in a matter of days.
Babe Walker
Babes story begins after she finds herself in rehab after having a major meltdown in Barneys and spending a crazy (even by her standards) $246,893.50 in one shopping trip. She then reminisces about points/people in her life to see how she got where she is; Birthday Disasters, Her GBF and Losing her Virginity, Dads girlfriends, Labiaplasty, multiple college attempts, finding the perfect man with the perfect penis, Her mother, Rehab Her best friend/videographer/maid/mother figure Mabinty and of course Babette.
I’m not going to tell you about Babette because you just HAVE to meet her for yourself, honestly, she’s a peach!
I don’t want to go giving anything away because her stories are best heard coming from her. The way the books read, you fee like Babe is actually talking to you. I related to her in so many ways, we all know someone like Babette, we all wish we could shop away our problems, have hot chefs make us detox smoothies, go out on to the clubs any night you liked and of course we’d all love to just runaway to a country of our choosing because we felt like it (or because we were being stalked… whatever)
