but it turns out that now I ll be writing one of my only truly negative reviews on Goodreads Sophia Amoruso has surely accomplished a lot with Nasty Gal, and I respect her work ethic and ability to achieve success with rough beginnings and little formal education However, I expected this book to relateto those in her generation instead, she turns out to be yet another naysayer of the Millennial generation, writing them off as lazy and spoiled For so I had such high hopes for this book, but it turns out that now I ll be writing one of my only truly negative reviews on Goodreads Sophia Amoruso

peculiar mix it s a book that doesn t know whether it wants to be a memoir or if it wants to give business advice Most of Sophia Amoruso s memories are irrelevant and self absorbed, with humble brags

intern during the early days in Berkeley when it was just Sophia and Christina the first full time employee who is now Buying Director , my rating may be a little biased so feel free to take everything from this point forward with a grain of salt.I won t bother with a short summary as this book has gotten enough press and reviews from readers alike that that just seems redundant What I will say is that having worked with Sophia firsthand and having accompanied her Having been Nasty Gal s first intern during the early days in Berkeley when it was just Sophia and Christina the first

this book has gotten enough press and reviews from readers alike that that just seems redundant What I will say is that having worked with Sophia firsthand and having accompanied her on what was Nasty Gal s second buying trip ever, her work ethic is a cut above the rest she eats, sleeps and breathes Nasty Gal always has and probably always will There are parts in the book where she may come across a bit lofty, but she s just telling it like it is and not making any excuses She briefly...I had never even heard of Nasty Gal when I picked this e book from the library But the title seemed fun and I always enjoy reading business books especially ones that tackle the unique issues that face women.But this This is not that book.I ll say this Sophia has done a great job of getting where she is now

advice about how you can t be friends with your direct reports It seems to assume that I have no business experience and am in charge of people mainly because that s what Sophia dealt with absolutely no business experience or formalized business education and was in charge of her own business Which is awesome for her but rare that others will go on that sort of girlboss trajectory Also, it s

manifesto by saying that she believes in showing up and owning it not whining for equality, I was pretty much soured on everything else she had to say But I persevered And while there were some good

much soured on everything else she had to say But I persevered And while there were some good parts of the book she does have some interesting things to say about venture capitalism and hiring and firing there were so many other things that made me want to throw the book against the wall in abject frustration For a book that purports to be about women who don t take themselves too seriously, I don t think I have ever read a book by a person who took themselves MORE seriously The most frustrating part for me was when she said that she didn t believe in luck Like this multimillion dollar company that she built up from nothing, which experien...In GIRLBOSS, Sophia Amoruso recounts her life from stumbling upon her passion of selling vintage clothes online and becoming an unlikely
