#GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso Book Summary

In the New York Times bestseller that the Washington Post called “Lean In for misfits,” Sophia Amoruso shares how she went from dumpster diving to founding one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world.

Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover bagels. By age twenty-two she had dropped out of school, and was broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school—a job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay.

Flash forward to today, and she’s the founder of Nasty Gal and the founder and CEO of Girlboss. Sophia was never a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she’s written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is windy as all hell and lined with naysayers.

#GIRLBOSS proves that being successful isn’t about where you went to college or how popular you were in high school. It’s about trusting your instincts and following your gut; knowing which rules to follow and which to break; when to button up and when to let your freak flag fly.

“A witty and cleverly told account . . . It’s this kind of honest advice, plus the humorous ups and downs of her rise in online retail, that make the book so appealing.” —Los Angeles Times

“Amoruso teaches the innovative and entrepreneurial among us to play to our strengths, learn from our mistakes, and know when to break a few of the traditional rules.” —Vanity Fair
 
“#GIRLBOSS is more than a book . . . #GIRLBOSS is a movement.” —Lena Dunham

#GIRLBOSS. Quite simply, amazing. Sophia is the best in the game and every woman should read this book and rejoice

Inspirational. I absolutely LOVE this book, I read it at least twice a year as a reminder. Girl Boss is an inspiration for all women regardless of your career goals. Sophia reassures us all that anyone can make their dreams come true as long as you believe in them and work towards them.

#SO-INSPIRATIONAL -#GIRLBOSS. Sophia's story is so moving, the fact that she is so successful , turning nothing into a 100 million dollar company. Love this book... Makes me believe in my own goals even more, I've found a role model in this candid CEO ... Love it.

Inspired. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Even though I am a guy, I still felt as if I can relate to everything she said. One thing that made this book great was that i could really hear her voice through the entire thing. It sounded just like her and I felt as if i was talking to her face to face.

Great Buy... Even for a #GuyBoss. Such an inspirational read! I enjoyed Sophia's honest and to-the-point approach. This is a female entrepreneur's dream book. Don't hesitate to make this purchase. If it doesn't change your life, it at least offers new perspectives.

She's become soo fake.. Lost all respect for her.

Wow. Inspiringly awesome... It's been a while I haven't read a book in a nutshell like this... It's addicted because it's inspiring. It made me continuing on pursuing what I want and never be a bore anymore!

Good stuff. Not even a girl and I loved it. Great insights and inspiring. Thanks, Sophia!

FUN READ!. It helps being a nut and ADD like Sophia to appreciate this book because it's all over the place LOLOLOL. Nice read!!

Engaging and inspiring. I read this book in one day, I couldn't put it down. It was the perfect combination of funny, inspiring, and just plain helpful. Any woman weather they want to be a business owner or not should read this book. HIGHLY recommend it!

Useful. I learned more than a few things from this book. I recommend it for anyone trying to move up in life .

#GIRLBOSSGREATNESS. I can't begin to tell you how this book is not a luxury but a necessity. Buy it, that is all.

She WON!. Amazing! Unbelievably relatable, humorous and an eye opener! This book is amazing each time I read it! Thank you Sophia for being admirable and inspiration to future #GirlBosses like myself.

Please don’t blame all the bad on the man in your life just to make you feel impowered! Hey. If he says he needs you in his life, don’t respond that he’s needy!! Men need women and women need men, period.

Fascinating. How fascinating to read about contradictory philosophies meeting at one point and resulting in a fashion empire that beats the odds and continues to grow in a world of fast fashion and overwhelming ever changing styles. A completely new generation rejecting and accepting the very basic principles of capitalism and consumerism. How to believe and be yourself in a world were individualism seems to be one selfie away.

Awesome. Love this book!! Couldn't put it down

Supremely Excited!!!. I will be the first to write how anxious I am to read this book. I love shopping at NastyGal and I've been looking forward to reading about Sophia Armouso's life story and her successes. I've been needing some inspiration in my life. Can't wait for this 😊😜😍

#girlboss. Fun and easy to read personal development. I loved Sophia's honest and sarcastic stories and lessons. Not everyone will succeed but some will; why not me?!

Shameless copycat. I cannot believe someone like her who steals and knock-off others' designs is in any way considered an expert to look up to. If it's a book it's called plagiarism.

Girlboss!. Good book for some motivation, easy to read and has good tips for entrepreneur women!

Inspiring!. #Girlboss was an amazingly inspiring read! There was nothing preachy about her tone and everything she spoke of was from personal experience. I would recommend this to parents with feisty, strong willed daughters that don't follow the norm. Sophia is the perfect role model for them!

Must Read. Amazing

Let your fashion freak flag fly. Very inspirational!! Being the only child, I felt like I was reading my own memoir with chapter 7. Thank you Sophia! Great Read!

Liked it, not what I expected. I chose this book for my book club, we are all in our mid 30s and as I started reading through it I knew it would inspire some of my friends but to most it would seem a bit childish at times. I really enjoyed the first 4 chapters where I could really see Sophia's passion at the beginning of her career with Nasty Gal, I found her passion for quality very inspiring.

I feel so BOSSY!. #GIRLBOSS is a really good read for any inspiring #GIRLBOSSES to Boss UP! It was a reality check and it also humbles you. I enjoyed this book and will pass it along to my friends.

A fun motivational read. Fun

Awesome Book For Anyone feeling .... This is a great book for anyone feeling unfulfilled in their work life. Sophia is very inspirational and she's real! I loved it and read it within 5 days. If you want to get motivated and find how to reach your happiness-read this book!

Must read. #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso This is a wise and fun read. I loved it myself, now 66 years old, but mostly I recommend it to my young friends, those who are 'starting out' in adult life. Written by a savvy and vastly successful entrepreneur in the fashion world, her wisdom works for whatever you wish to do/become. Sassy punk tone for very inspiring ideals. You will love it.

Feeling Bossy!. Ridiculously relatable and makes you feel magical for being a woman! 💅🏾

Great great read!. Awesome book! Having recently started my own business within the last year, lots of great insights and tips. Good and bad experiences to learn from. It's a great motivational read for anyone who thinks outside the box and isn't ashamed of it.

✌️#GIRLBOSS -- a must read!. #girlboss is relatable, insightful and an overall good read. I have a newfound respect for Nastygals founder Sophia & am a proud customer of Nastygal (and we have the Same bday so we're practically soul sisters). Such a good read & so nice to have as ebook -- def a good book to have on hand when you need a reminder #girlboss

Not what I expected. I thought this was more of a self-help learning tips on how to run a successful business type of book. It’s more of an autobiography.

Holy F**k #Amazing. I was so inspired after reading #GirlBoss I was instantly implementing changes in myself as well as my business. Something that I had done with instant results was how I wrote my craigslist ads for employees. Before I would do it the standard bullet point way but after a few tips from #GirlBoss I created an ad that allowed the reader to know what kind of culture they would be applying for and make them want it. It made hiring so much easier and brought out some creative people! Huge fan of this book and I have been recommending it to all my fellow #GirlBosses

Inspiring. Loved reading this book. It's real, well written, funny and made me excited to be a #GIRLBOSS. If you have a vision for your career jump on in. If you have love and passion for what you do then skies the limit.

Kudos to a successful woman. The book isn't even out but I'm proud that a woman has built this company. She's obviously so successful- that's not fake - it's winning...so it's sad to see 'haters' commenting rude comments, especially from a woman-on something that should be a joyous occasion ...

Motivating & Encouraging. I’ve read this book just in the knick of time. I’ve started a new chapter in my life and, boy, did this book awaken my inner #GIRLBOSS! There are so many things I’ve wanted to persue in life; Sophia’s book has shown me that I can do any and everything that I want. I’ve been a longtime Nasty Gal lover and it’s so wonderful to get a feel of the company and the awesome people that work there. I’m gonna tell all my fellow Nasty Gals to check this book out. Live long and prosper #GIRLBOSS! Thanks for your story.

Gained so much Knowledge!. I have never felt more ready to take on the world and get my business off the ground after reading a book in Life! This book is more then AMAZING! I've read "The Secret" & thought it was powerful, no darling it does not compare to this. I could not put this book down for nothing. Thank You Sophia for this, you've blessed me & I can't wait to cross paths with you! Aspiring Fashion Stylist, Deanna G

Relatable. I will say that the author can come off quite repetitive and boastful (I found myself thinking “ok ok we get it” a number of times,) but there is definitely a lot to learn here. I believe that anyone can relate to and learn something from this book. It covers everything from getting and keeping a job to starting and maintaing a business. It is an inspirational book that’ll make you want to get up and do something!

Danielle. I really liked this book. Easy and fun to read with some inspiring moments.

love it. such an amazing book and I've only read the sample ! can't wait to buy it:-)

Lather, rinse, repeat.... Over and over and over.. I concur with other reviewers who stated that the first few chapters were fun- there is some interesting biographical information, and certainly the story of how her business grew is compelling. But as others have noted, a nice magazine article could handily cover that. The rest of the book is the same thing over and over and over- what a maverick she is, how successful she is, how she never had any help or followed any advice, how awesome her employees think she is- frankly it just gets boring, and there is no further insight to be had. I wish I had just read her interviews and skipped buying the book.

#Girlboss. Great read, inspiring and funny.

Awesome read!!!. Super inspiring for any girl with an entrepreneurial spirit navigating this crazy thing called life. Thanks Sophia, your words resonate and give hope.

#Girlboss speaks to my soul. This read has encouraged me to strive for great things despite of anxiety or people not seeing the vision I have for myself. Learn from your mistakes and take on the world like a true #Girlboss

#girlboss all day everyday. This is such an interesting and inspiring book. The fact that Nasty Gal started as a small little website and became a huge and successful business is crazy! It is inspiring me to keep working hard. If I say least work for something I am more likely to get it than just wishing for it. This book is truly very inspiring.

Unoriginal. This book is ridiculous the author is so full of her self not inspiring at all had high hopes for this book very disappointing. And to top it off he author herself is a terrible person in real life and is currently trying to sue every other company that has trademarked the name girl boss. And she’s getting away with it by making people rebrand or pay $50,000-100,000 to go to court for a name that they have already trademarked. In her book she is all about inspiring women and girl power... what a bunch of bull she is just a giant bully in real life. Don’t go through the trouble and don’t waste your money on this book!

Love this book!. I really enjoyed this book. Great insight on being a true boss. Highly recommend this to a #girlboss.
