If you're one of the hundreds of thousands who devoured Babe
Walker's "New York Times" bestselling novel "White Girl Problems"
or one of the million people who read her blog or follow her on
Twitter daily, then you've obviously been waiting with bated breath
for her hilarious follow-up novel, "Psychos."
Fresh from a four-month stint in rehab for her "alleged" shopping
addiction, Babe Walker returns home to Bel Air ten pounds lighter
(thanks to a stomach virus), having made amends (she told a
counselor with bad skin she was smart) and confronted her past
(after meeting her birth mother for the first time--a fashion model
turned farmer lesbian). Although delighted to be home and
determined to maintain her hard-won inner peace, Babe now faces a
host of outside forces seemingly intent on derailing her path to
positive change. Not only is she being trailed by an anonymous
stalker, but she's also reunited with the love of her life, a
relationship that she cannot seem to stop self-sabotaging.
Babe's newfound spirituality, coupled with her faith in the
universe and its messages, leads her all over the world: shoulder
dancing in Paris, tripping out in Amsterdam, and hooking up in the
Mediterranean, only to land her back in New York City, forced to
choose between a man who is perfect in every way (except for one
small detail) and a man who could be The One if only he didn't
drive Babe to utter insanity.
Unapologetic and uproarious, "Psychos" is the send-up of the
season--already as timeless as vintage Dior.
Author of the New York Times bestseller White Girl Problems and
Psychos, Babe Walker, faces her most daunting challenge yet,
suburbia, in the third caustically witty White Girl Problems book.
Babe Walker thought she had done it all. After all, she's survived
the highly exclusive social hierarchies of Bel Air, traipsed around
Europe in true white-girl fashion, and left her mark on several of
the best rehab facilities in the United States. But now Babe is
about to enter a terrifying new world: Middle America. After a
freak accident that was definitely not Babe's fault, her estranged
mother offers her the perfect escape from LA: an invite to her
grandfather's eightieth birthday party in Maryland, of all places.
Babe's journey throws her headlong into elementary school
classrooms full of small, unfashionable people that will haunt her
nightmares and eventually back to Los Angeles, thank goodness.
Tossed together with her cousins, Cara and Knox, Babe learns that
connecting with someone on an intimate, familial level might be the
most rewarding experience there is...Besides being thin, of course.
Hysterical, unapologetic, and as unfiltered as ever, Babe Walker
can only hope the population is ready for American Babe.
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.
