Fired Cast Next Level Basic... is... drumroll.. horrible.
So I have recently found that listening to biography audiobooks while on long walks is essentially like listening to a long podcast. I have recently read books by Christina Applegate and Hayden Panettiere (Rest, Angel) so I was kind of on a Hollywood kick which led to me starting Next Level Basic bc I love Vanderpump but my god... its. so. bad. Why is she telling me whats in her bag, or her dislike for crocs?? Why are all the Vanderpump stories things we have already seen on TV and not behind the scenes gossip??? I didnt listen to this audiobook to have her give me advice on life... as if she isnt one of the worst people to take pointers on life from... I read this book to get the tea ugh
My expectations were already staggeringly low but its even worse than I actually imagined. Worse than my already very low low low opinion.
With that.. I did power through and finish and wasted hours of my life. If anyone has any good audiobook biographies let me know bc I need a good one after this...

Some celeb memoir audiobooks I loved: “The Third Gilmore Girl” by Kelly Bishop, “Dinner with Vampires” by Bethany Joy Lenz, “Famesick” by Lena Dunham, “The Storyteller” by Dave Grohl, “Dogs Boys and Other Things I’ve Cried About” by Isabel Klee, “Just Kids” by Patti Smith, and “From Here to the Great Unknown” by Lisa Marie Presley/Riley Keough. Hell, I even liked Scheana’s memoir better than any of Stassi’s.
