Psychos: A White Girl Problems Book
Spoiled socialite Babe Walker is back in the follow-up to the faux memoir, White Girl Problems (2012). Babe’s stint in rehab hasn’t quelled her narcissism, and soon after returning to her father’s Bel Air mansion, Babe’s self-destructive alter ego, Babette, returns. She’s feuding with her two best friends and acting crazy around her ex-boyfriend, Robert. After becoming the target of a stalker who leaves threatening messages in black lipstick, Babe decides to trade her worries in L.A. for a European adventure. She shops and parties her way through Paris, Mykonos, Amsterdam, and Switzerland, until another meltdown brings her to New York City and, finally, her estranged mother’s farm in upstate New York. A few implausible twists reveal Babe’s stalker and reunite her with Robert. Babe’s wildly popular Twitter persona, blog, and books are the creation of three actor-writer friends who use their creation’s ludicrous observations and exploits to skewer the shallow ultrarich. --Aleksandra Walker
