#Girlboss

By: Sophia Amoruso

Narrated by: Sarah Jes Austell

Length: 4 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable, audiobook edition of #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso, read by Sarah Jes Austell. The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion. It was a stolen book. At age 17 she was a dumpster-diving, shoplifting anarchist. By 29 she was the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, a $100 million-plus fashion empire.

Filled with brazen wake-up calls ("You are not a special snowflake"), frank observations ("Failure is your invention"), and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #Girlboss is more than just Amoruso's story; it is a book for anyone seeking a unique path to success - even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers.

Men should read it too!!

My fiancée read this and she said it related to me so well, so I read it and I was really impressed by it. I think guys could learn a lot from this and is a fresh perspective compared to normal business books.

Great read!! Thanks

As a young adult, I loved it

The whole message in the book is something I think all the young 20-something women of the world should know about. Sophia's story is a real inspiration and it does make you feel like anything is possible. Her journey to being who she is today is so simple, practical - she did regular everyday stuff. The narrator's voice is also fitting considering the title of the book. loved every second of it. will definitely be listening again.

Overal.. Inspiring

Brizza

Love it! It's fun but it goes to the point. She really makes me think in what I need to be a #GirlBoss.

Cool audiobook for girl bosses.

Awesome book for girl bosses. It motivated me. The story keeps you engaged. I loved it.

Did not finish

This is a boastful book, full of gratuitous swear words (seriously, it's unnecessary and not cool).

Boasting about shoplifting. Boasting about several menial jobs. Good for you, Sophia. It's just not my cup of tea. The fact that the narrator sounded like a teenager didn't help.

And while I'm getting things off my chest, I find referring to women as girls deeply patronizing.

I needed to hear it and you might too

first of all the narrator was a perfect fit. The story was definitely a little cheesy (but not in an eyerolling way). It was about defying the odds and it's hard to miss the point because she hammered it home to me without being repetitive.

Sensational!

I really appreciate every words! Love the spirit and the message she wants to give the our girlbosses out there in the world! Enjoy this book, because it's worth it!

Funny and Real
