#girlboss

Don't get me wrong - I liked that book A LOT. But it's such a straightforward, obvious, apparent advice. I guess for a number of young girls just about to start their professional careers this could be very useful and indeed eye-opening, but if you are just a little bit older in your head and in your heart - it all sound a bit repetitive and "duh". Nevertheless, it's funny, warm and inspiring - an easy read with a lot of benefits and good advice such as "fortune favours the bold who get sh** done".Interesting fact: while I never bought anything from Nasty Gal, I of course knew it existed, but never followed it closely. Little did I know, that the Nasty Gal empire fell following financial struggles as well as legal issues and layoffs. In 2015 the company filed for bankruptcy in late 2016 and was acquired for [merely] $20m, a mere fraction of Nasty Gal's valuation just two years prior... So.I am off to watch the Neflix original series of "Girlboss" now (which was cancelled after one season and which Fanity Fair claims to be the Netflix's "first truly terrible show"...).Sooo... don't focus on the negative - go get sh** done! (And yes, remember, it is great to be an introvert!)

This was a light read but not what I expected it to be. As a small business owner, I was looking for valuable advice. Perhaps it's my age but this book is definitely targeted at teenagers. The advice was fairly obvious, which felt patronising at times. While I appreciate the inspirational elements of Sophia's story and journey, it lacks useful advice for an adult audience. As of 2021, I consider Nasty Gal to similar to other fast fashion brands like Pretty Little Thing. It definitely lost it's luster and originality through the years in my opinion. But love the coined term #girlboss

I actually bought the book *after* watching the Netflix show... I fell in love with the show and even after watching the story first, I loved it so much I wanted to read it too, and reading it was worth it!

It was such an empowering and emotional feeling reading this book. It is completely inspiring and a must read for everyone, female or not. Sophia is a true inspiration to every person out there.
