Book Description

January 31, 2012

“I now have a girl crush on Babe Walker! Laugh-out-loud, pee-in-your-Cosabellas funny.” --Tori Spelling, author of Uncharted TerriTori

White Girl Problems makes me laugh a lot, and cry a little. It’s about time someone drew our attention to the devastating reality: White girl problems are all around us . . . absolutely hysterical.” --Susan Sarandon

“Babe Walker will be your new best friend and worst enemy. I loved it!” --Emma Roberts

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-fat, low-calorie, sugar-free, and organic.

In an Adderall-induced flash of inspiration, Babe Walker has managed to create one of the most enjoyable, unforgettable memoirs in years.

“The epitome of the urban socialite you love to hate.” --Time magazine

“A social satire in the guise of a memoir�The most artful elements are the charming fashion illustrations peppered throughout�Walker’s half-million followers on Twitter and the public’s bottomless appetite for news about real-life socialites like the Kardashians prove that a large audience for this story does exist.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Satire of Today's Upper Class Women February 1, 2012
By Bobby B
Format:Paperback
At first, White Girl Problems seems geared only towards the younger generation, i.e. twentysomething Orange County babes strutting around in Prada and Louboutins on their college campus, but in fact, this "memoir" appeals to anyone who loves to poke fun at the upper class' ridiculous, out-of-touch "problems."

For any of you who have indulged in watching the tasteless and tacky behavior of the Real Housewives and catching up on the latest celebrity gossip of Kim Kardashian and Lindsey Lohan, this book is a MUST-READ! But I found it particularly appealing because of how timely it is. We all love to live vicariously through the lives of the rich and the famous. Babe Walker is one of these gals. Though I love to read her ridiculous stories, in real life I'd probably hate her. She's the type that says, "You're either gonna love me or hate me." To which I will respond, "Well, I'm guessing nobody really likes you."

White Girl Problems works because we are exposed to these types of women (both young and old) every day through television and news outlets. The upper class no longer live mysterious gated lives. We all have gone to school with a Babe Walker, or seen a Babe Walker break down in tears in her limo on national television. Even in our own lives, we can relate to a birthday party devolving into chaos, our own fluctuating weight issues, the constant barrage of angry texts we send to an ex, lover or scorned best friend, and the inevitable phone calls we receive the next morning from a hungover pal saying, "I don't know where I am...come get me."

If Bridesmaids was the female equivalent to The Hangover, then White Girl Problems is the female equivalent to Tucker Max's I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. It's crass, outrageous and laugh-out-loud funny!

As Babe Walker might say, money doesn't buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a mansion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Obsessed February 1, 2012
By LMS
Format:Paperback
At first I had my doubts, but the title caught my eye, so I bought it. (Also, for $8.39, I'll buy just about anything.) Quelle suprise! This book is HYSTERICAL. I was literally laughing from start to finish, and I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen to Babe next. She's a b***h, but I totally want to be her, Birkins, Babette (you'll get it when you read it) and all! I agree with the other reviewer--the only problem with this book is that it's over after 288 pages! YOU GO BABE WALKER!

1.0 out of 5 stars So not funny... March 7, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was looking for a good laugh and unfortunately didn't find any in this book. I have never left a review before, but this book was so below my modest expectations that I had to leave one. To note: I was not a follower of the blog before reading this book. If I'm generous, maybe that would have helped, but I kinda doubt it. Babe is no Jen Lancaster...

2.0 out of 5 stars Rich little white girl tries to get pity
This is not as funny as I had hoped. It is a book full of her complaining about how her life sucks because she doesn't get enough attention. Big disappointment.
