Off with My Head

The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom

By: Stassi Schroeder

Narrated by: Stassi Schroeder

Named one of Us Weekly’s Best Celebrity Memoirs of 2022

The New York Times bestselling author of Next Level Basic and fan-favorite alumna of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules returns with the definitive Basic Bitch handbook for surviving your rock-bottom moments.

The year 2020 was going to be the best year of Stassi’s life. Besides getting engaged and feeling like she was on top of the world career-wise, she bought her first house and was planning her dream Italian wedding. The future showed so much freaking promise—until it all went to hell. Stassi may not be perfect—she may have made some (major) mistakes—but she does feel like she has some insight (and plenty of hilarious tales) about getting knocked up, called out, and learning from what went wrong.

Through stories, confessions, illustrations, and plenty of self-reflection and self-deprecation, this new book goes behind the scenes and addresses the experience of getting cancelled, getting that positive pregnancy test, and saying “I do” in the backyard instead of in Italy. Stassi won’t hold back about her transformation from proud basic bitch to... proud basic bitch who has a deeper appreciation for what’s really important in life: love, relationships, mutual respect, and, okay fine, an Aperol spritz and some showtunes when you need them most.

Stassi hopes her story will help others see the light at the end of the tunnel in their own lives and make them laugh along the way. She writes about the importance of having a good cry (at work, in the shower, in your closet), ways to navigate social media responsibly (sometimes that means logging the eff off when crowds are chanting, “OFF WITH HER HEAD”), how to practice self-care when wine is not an option, and how not to become a Bridezilla—plus she’ll offer tips on marrying your f*ckboy, embracing pregnancy sweats (both cashmere sweats and night sweats), and styling baby OOTDs.

So roll up your bedazzled sleeves…or the sleeves of the tattered robe you’ve been wearing nonstop because you’re at rock bottom; grab a cocktail; and let your favorite (more evolved) basic bitch take you on a wild ride inside the bumpiest year of her life.

LOVE LOVE!!!!

love thus book!!!! I love stassi!!! she makes me want to be better and makes me feel that it's ok to mess up and hit rock bottom and pick yourself up and start over again!!

So very good!

Loved every minute of this book! This deserves to be on the beat seller list! I can only hope Stassi writes another!

Stasis's growing up

I have to be honest when I read Stassi's first book I cringed a little. I guess it's because I'm a few years older than her, and definitely not a basic bitch. I feel like she's gonna look back at her old book and realize how superficial is is, especially after having a baby. But, with that being said, her second book was more refreshing and down to earth. More real life problems. Worded amazing, kept me captivated, I enjoyed every minute of it. Great job Stassi Schröder Clark!!!

So good!! Made me cry!

This book was beyond my expectations. I loved everything about it, Her story, VPR, Beau, her daughter. Just everything about it. Thank you. Looking forward to the next book!

She's baack!

Have been a fan since the beginning , never truly cancelled her but honestly thought she could use some perspective as she got progressively harder to defend. This book and her reading it to you is just the Stassi we never knew we needed. She's still snarky and witty but now she is thinking before she speaks and she is clearly putting a lot more effort into growing and learning. I appreciated the honesty and her ability to be self deprecating and vulnerable to the reader. I look forward to more in the future from the new and improved Stassi.
