*#GIRLBOSS NETFLIX ORIGINAL OUT NOW*

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of the New York Times bestselling sensation #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso, read by Sarah Jes Austell.

'#GIRLBOSS is more than a book . . . #GIRLBOSS is a movement' Lena Dunham

'A millennial alternative to Lean In' New York Magazine

'A compellingly motivational read' The Telegraph

'The book you need in your life' Marie Claire

*Winner of the 2014 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Business Book*

In the space of ten years, Sophia Amoruso has gone from high-school dropout to founder and Executive Chairman of Nasty Gal, one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world.

Sophia's never been a typical executive, or a typical anything, and she's written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success.

Filled with brazen wake-up calls, cunning and frank observations, and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS covers a lot of ground. It proves that success doesn't come from where you went to college or how popular you were in school. Success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break.

Inspiring, motivating and empowering, #GIRLBOSS will give you the kick up the ass you need to reach your potential.

Critic Reviews

#GIRLBOSS is more than a book and Sophia Amoruso is more than a purveyor of (fine and fly) garments. #GIRLBOSS is a movement - a philosophy for making your work life as fun, fresh and raunchy as your personal adventures. Sophia encourages us to own the qualities we've previously been ashamed of (bossiness, crudeness, petty thievery) in order to become the masters of our own destiny, financially independent and radically ourselves. I'm so in
The Cinderella of tech
Fashion's new phenom
Starkly brilliant
A millennial alternative to Lean In (The Cut)
The book you need in your life ... a simultaneously funny, warm, inspiring and straight-talking guide on how to go about getting shit done
A compellingly motivational read
Deeply personal and filled with brazen, hilarious moments and cunning and frank observations, don't be surprised if you laugh out loud
Amoruso's voice is accessible and charmingly self-deprecating without losing the effortless cool that characterizes her clothes...Being anti-establishment is teh old cool. The new cool is playing by your own rules and still winning by their standards
Part memoir, part management guide and part girl-power manifesto. A sort of Lean In for misfits, it offers young women a candid guide to starting a business and going after what they want

Good read

Overall, I think it was a good and easy listen. The voice acting was great as it felt like a friend was just sharing her life stories. However, the content was often predictable with a plethora of sometimes trying-hard quotables. However, I do suggest this for young girls in their uni years, trying to navigate through the business world.

Sometimes interesting & sometimes typical

This book helps you to get your motivation going and get off your butt and do the work! It’s a great read for anyone who is trying hard to succeed in business, especially when you’re having those days of “why am I even bothering”. It will help you to refocus and get back on track.

So inspiring
