#GIRLBOSS

I tend to read books in a day or two. This one was so boring and repetitive that it took me a month. Not good. While the story of success is inspiring and something that can be looked up to, the story telling is awful. From cover to cover the author wants to make sure we know that she is unique, a loner and totally different than every other fashion guru. It gets old quick. I wanted to love this book but unfortunately it's one I won't recommend to anyone.

If you're looking for good business advice, I'll summarize the book for you:
Find something you like to do, use spell check on your resume and don't try to do everything by yourself.

That's it. The rest sounds like the rambling of a teenager who is brought down by “the man” but is also the boss of the “the man”.

I don't own or want to run a business, but this book was for me anyway. Who doesn't want to be a badass and live life on your own terms? I loved Sophia Amoruso's story, and while I could care less about business or fashion I learned a great deal about not listening to the people who tell you can't do something and just do it anyway. Badass. Great read. I'm buying a copy of this for my 17 year old daughter.
