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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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

"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."―Booklist

"She just gets it"
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2012

Whether Babe Walker is real or not was the last decision I had on my mind after reading White Girl Problems. She does't claim to have the cure for us Husky girls who know they can't attend a sample sale for Alexander McQueen... like that would ever happen. But it's a story that is still growing. Give the girl some credit! She has gone though her own issues, and quite gracefully for the most part. After reading this book, I feel confident that we would slay in a game "Never Have I Ever". Babe is realistic in telling her stories, whether they happened or not. I think this is a character I would be friends with. I would how grocery shopping, and split up the groceries. Veggies and fun ice cube trays for her... actual food for me.

Regardless, I recommend this book to any girl in her mid-late twenties who needs a laugh and a coupe of life lessons as seen through the eyes of someone who could financially afford to make them right in the end. It's very Jennifer Lancaster-esque for those of us who feel we are too young to connect over a husband and a home. But it's Walker...telling a story about what happens before you get there...or a fantasy novel for those who don't think they ever want to get there.

I found myself laughing out loud plenty of times at the easygoingness of Babe Walker. She says the things I want to say, gets the boy or "boy" she wants so effortlessly all by just being herself. She doesn't change who she is at any point, she simply grows up a little. I usually read memoirs or celebrity biographies, and this is by far one of the best books I have read in a while. If you did not laugh while reading this book, you might want to check with someone because you may not know how to read.

I hope to see more from Babe Walker! PS - The sketches in the book - Brilliant! I loved each one and might frame them.

White Girl Problems was a cute and easy read. The book was written as a memoir by Babe about her struggle growing up in Bel Air. I loved that she told about the hardships she faced with total seriousness even though the problems were ridiculous, and as her therapist said, were ones only a rich white girl could have. Each chapter focused on a different catastrophe: failed extravagant birthday parties, relationship challenges with her gay best friend, and getting kicked out of several colleges due to parking issues and wardrobe lies. Babe was a self-centered stock character for most of the book, but it was that materialistic and self-absorbed view that made her observations so endearing. I especially appreciated all the drawings in the book of the outfits Babe wore to the events she attended. This was a light read that I really enjoyed!

I don't know how I lived my life before WGP. Luckily for me, I never miss what I don't have. So, I just walked around thinking I was the only white girl on the planet with real issues. I knew this book resonated with my soul by the time I reached the table of contents -Problem #1: All I want for my birthday is for you to know what I want for my birthday without me having to tell you. I re-read the line to make sure I didn't accidentally pick up my diary - Like, GET OUT OF MY HEAD, BABE! I remember thinking "Wow, I can't think of a bigger insult than having to tell my "friends" and "family" what I want in celebration of my life" so that was a very powerful moment for me. The feeling matched that of a prisoner being set free to finally live the life they were destined to live. I was not alone.

I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a higher sense of self. This book has opened my mind to the theory that there are people, other than me, living life everyday. It has also confirmed that the psychos who wrote this - Tanner Cohen, David Oliver Cohen and Lara Schoenhals - stalked my life to get the material.

Seriously though, it's a great read. Very obscene. Does not lack in raunchy, life-like situations that I have, regrettably, found myself involved in. This is definitely one of the most offensive books I have come across and that's why I love it. If you are sensitive to, or don't find humor in, feminism, racism, addiction etc. don't read it. I am just amazed at the negative reviews on this book -- surely, a person doesn't pick up a book titled "White Girl Problems" looking to find intellectual writings on the day-in-the-life experiences of a coming of age woman in the 2000's. If you were, I can definitely see why you'd be disappointed with your misused 13 dollars. And that sounds like a #whitegirlproblem to me.

A shallow read, midlly entertaining. But it's been said and done before...
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014

I can't say I hate this book, but I cant' say I like it so I gave it three stars. This book has been written before with the jaded rich girl first person narrative. Nothing really made me gasp or laugh out loud. Remember "Less Than Zero" in the 80's or was it 90's by Bret East Ellis? This book is not much more than that book revised from a strictly female point of view. Her rants and raves are tiresome after awhile. The receips in this book are NOT NUTRITIOUS! Now those did make me laugh. I think Babe needs a swift kick in the ass as a spoiled rich girl! It's a somewhat mundane read, but hey - we all need a little junk food for the mind now and then. That. and it's mildly entertaining to see how foolishly people spend their time and money.

Loved this book so much, hilarious all the way through and will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. I couldn't put it down, I found it that good! Full of various cringe-worthy, emotional and captivating moments, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys light-hearted comedy. There are some parts that are quite sexual though so I would say that anyone who's buying this as a gift for someone should take into account the age and maturity of the person reading it. Apart from that, it definitely has a place on my favourite books list!!
