From the first page I knew I wasn't going to like this book. ("don't let the man get you! #girlboss!"... gag...)
Beyond it being poorly written (sounds like a teenager's rambling life story), it doesn't have any true focus or offer any innovative or interesting advice. Most of the advice (work hard, don't have typos in your resume, attention to detail) are well known, common, and repeated in countless books, television shows, etc... (and honestly something you'd learn in high school or college, had she completed those efforts...)
She also comes off as an un-relateable and unbelievable character. She worked hard in all her jobs? And yet most lasted no longer than 2-weeks?
She does an incredible amount of bragging about her successes and everyone loving her, and rambles her way through her story at a very high level. I found myself constantly irritated with her. Good for you for starting a successful company, that's awesome. Your story just isn't interesting or well written enough to tell.
Nice thing: its short and has pictures. So I finished it in a day and moved onto something far better.

Kelsey your review is on point! Sophia just was almost pathologically un-relatable.

I agree some of those comments were kinda cheesy :) but overall I really loved this book!
I agree. I don't even want to finish this book.

Read this book bc I liked the Netflix show....big mistake. I don’t need someone assuming I don’t know how to use spell check or write a resume. There’s more to being a girlboss than that and those things should be a given.
