Description
A sharp, unapologetic, hilarious book about power, confidence, and getting what you want—not through self-help platitudes, but by mastering the art of being the most formidable woman in the room.
Maybe you’re a nice girl. Or maybe—more likely—you picked up this book because you’re not interested in being nice at all. This is not about gratitude journals, finding inner peace, or giving back to the universe. This is about ruling your world, commanding attention, and coming out on top in any situation involving men, money, friends, enemies, or ambition.
So how does a betch make that happen? By following a few brutally honest rules, including: don’t be easy, don’t be poor, and don’t be ugly. These aren’t gentle suggestions—they’re survival tactics for navigating life with confidence, leverage, and zero apologies.
Blunt, hilarious, and deliberately outrageous, this book delivers laugh-out-loud advice, biting observations, and fearless commentary on success, beauty, power, and modern womanhood. It’s not self-help—it’s how to deal with your problems when you have no problems. You’re welcome.
Reviews
Hilarious, not to be taken too seriously
4By MtrizzThis book is funny and over the top. It's definitely not a book to live by, but there are hints of insightful advice. It's witty and obnoxious, I loved it!Really?
1By L2192This book is basically a guide for how to be a narcissist. Nice.hope this was a joke
1By Brittmac23this was honestly the biggest waste of time ever.I can see myself liking it if it didn't make fun of ACTUAL issues
1By Sarah (Mickey)My Mom just purchased this book for me, and I read the first couple of pages then skimmed the rest. Some of the points are good in it and says it is important to have a tough skin in the real world, it is important to let go of things, and highlights the importance of image BUT it does not encourage women to think for themselves when making decisions, endorses negativity and rudeness, also talks about the stereotypes of women and promotes them. I feel like I'm reading a book written by someone who peaked in high school and still thinks the world around her is the locker-filled hallways. It endorses drugs, alcohol abuse, unhealthy diets, and more. Some of this is funny, but most of it just makes me angry.Do I have any brain cells left?
1By claudiaddddddI got through half the sample book and had to close it. You sound moronic. Real women do not speak nor think like that. "Betch"? "Bro"? If I wanted to learn how to "like, omg like, be the perfect like, sorority girl", I would go back to college. And blow my brains out. Do yourself and your brain a favor and SKIP! Read real books, "Twelve Pillars" or "The 48 Laws of Power". Everything you could "learn" from this book, you can get from watching reruns of Jersey Shore.Nice is just a place in France
1By Appallingly awfulAbsolutely one of the worst books I've ever skimmed. I couldn't even muster the patience to read in its entirety. It's written by a four year old with the advice of a fifteen year old, desperate for attention. It piqued my interest because people kept taking pictures of it on Instagram; thinking this could be a good book. Lesson learned.Nope
1By Kristin8993Moral of the story: being popular in middle school > being a productive member of society. That being said, if you are an anorexic drug addict (or would like to be) and are looking for a book to support your poor life choices, then this is the book for you!Kind of Offensive
1By Luna_BThis book has a bad side to it. It has offensive parts toward groups of people, culture, encouraging girls to be skinny (because it gets you everything in life) and not eat, to taking Xanax as if it was a Sweet Tart, and encouraging to drink heavily. I don't find it funny how society like this author insults women that has a weight issue. Additionally, insulting people's class by constantly putting down for being poor. What are we teaching society? What are we teaching young girls? When I got this book I was under the impression I was going to be reading about how to better ourselves as ladies. Never did I expect this.Not the advice
1By Jevel IncNot the advice I would give my daughter.Dumb book
1By 87 sororityCould have been doing something else with my time.Perfection!
5By SamanthaSFLove this book. Satire-ish, but some real jems in there.What everyone is thinking but doesn't want to say
4By So collegeIf you are in college this is a MUST READ. It is the bible to living.Pretty Good
3By CaReeseSmilesI found this book to be hilarious. While it is not exactly a manual to live by, the authors do give some good insight and advice. I'm glad I read it. I am glad for their perspective. While I am not going pattern my life after every piece of advice in this book, I am going to kill off my inner nice girl. Or at least put her on life support.Nice Is Just A Place In France
5By lolninjazTwo enthusiastic thumbs up! The wit and the seriousness of this book mix for the perfect blend of teen humorBad advise to young girls
2By 50 Plus FitThe first few pages are ok to build up confidence on young girls, the rest is pure garbage! Drugs, alcohol and diet soda as your only meal? Really? That is NOT the road of success...Hilarious! The truth comes out.
5By Meghan4658We have all thought, done, or acted on a few of the things noted in this book. I loved it. From a girl who has no filter,and the people who need to hear the truth. Well done! I thought I was all alone. Thanks Betches!
