Girl with No Job

The Crazy Beautiful Life of an Instagram Thirst Monster

By: Claudia Oshry

Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's Summary

The instant New York Times best seller and laugh-out-loud look at pop culture and social media stardom from one of the most popular funemployed millennials today, perfect for fans of Give Them Lala and The Betches.

As the creator of the breakout Instagram account @GirlWithNoJob, Claudia Oshry has turned not wanting an ordinary career into a thriving media company and pop culture-focused podcast and morning show. The origins of her pop culture obsessions can be traced back to household debates over boy bands, and her flair for the dramatic to her young emulation of Blair Waldorf. When she started @GirlWithNoJob, Claudia entered that world as a social media influencer, sharing her unbelievable - and incredibly awkward - encounters with some of her favorite A-listers as she navigates her incredible access.

Now, in this juicy, behind-the-scenes look at the life of an Instagram sensation, Claudia leaves nothing out as she contemplates staying true to yourself while hustling in today’s digital culture. Sometimes the best lessons are learned the hard way, and her journey hasn’t been without its punch-in-the-face doses of humility. But, like anyone with a relentless desire to be popular, she dusts herself off and finds a new, better way forward. With humor and unique insights, Claudia examines the nature of social media celebrity, the many sides of fandom, and cancel culture. If there’s one thing she knows for sure, she was born thirsty, and she’s here for another round!

Your mom isn’t “super conservative.” She is super racist and dangerous to the Muslim community.

As a former fan, I picked the book up hoping to see some growth from Claudia. Despite her problematic behavior (which didn’t stop in 2016 btw), I do think she is committed to being better. However, I wish she would understand that most people don’t necessarily want to her disown her only living parent, rather publicly disavow her rhetoric which directly puts minorities at harm. Her views aren’t “conservative,” they are racist and dangerous.

Pretty boring

This is a pretty boring memoir from a self absorbed Instagrammer. Was hoping for a cute, funny book but this was a waste of money and time. Perhaps if you are a fan, you may enjoy it.

Beautiful stunning and smart!

Loved everything about this about this book. Love the author! The book was funny and made me cry.

A Girl with No Skills

This is a poorly written “memoir” about an extremely privileged girl and her racist family. Nothing about it is inspiring or even funny - she is really just a lazy person. Read Jessica Simpson’s book instead if you want to be entertained and uplifted.

This book ain’t it sis

After being a loyal toaster for years, this book felt like revisionist history, attempting to paint a very different story of the “cancel culture” that has plagued her repeatedly over the last 5 years. I honestly really wanted to like this book and I was hopeful it could be a chance for her to show growth, change, and genuine reflection. Instead, it was full of deflection, finger pointing, and just tiptoed around the issues without ever facing them head on. Sadly, this book is just a big fat nothing-burger with no real meat in it.

Listened to the whole thing in one day

Claudia really poured her heart into this and hearing her tell her own story was very moving. I laughed, I was emotional, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done.

Finished in a day

I follow her podcast and was excited to learn how she got started. It’s a great read/ listen entertaining and filled in some gaps from the podcast. Plus it’s fun to see someone grow and evolve.

Love this Monster

Love this book. What a great Author. She is my youngest son’s age. So its awesome to see her view on life. I hope this makes it to the airports. Love the love of the sisters. I only started watching these girls during pandemic. So Im late. But such a joy to hear all the stories to fill in the blanks. Great book

Loved this book!!!

First of all, huge fan of The Morning Toast. It was a delight to learn more about Claudia. There was a perfect balance between realness, seriousness, and humor. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable listen!

Just ok.

While there were a few laugh out loud moments, overall I didn’t find this book very funny. There were some parts that were relatable, but many parts that felt too preachy for me. I give Claudia an A for her performance though.
