Summary:
"Look how awesome I am! GIRLBOSS. GIRLBOSS. I reached everything by myself! You can do it too! I am so amazing! I learn everything! I hate capitalism! GIRLBOSS. Ohhh, I am so like you! You can do it! I am so original and creative! There is no bad job! I even believe in magic and sigils! I had nothing and now I have so much! And I did it! You can do it! Go for it! We are an awesome company! GIRLBOSS."
Uhhhh... I know Sofia is awesome, she did so much (I never heard about Nasty Gal before thou, and even if their prices are fine, I didn't find anything I liked - I guess I am not that nasty...), but the book feels like she just wrote it in one sitting, without anything really useful for young girls. It lack continuity - Sofia starts with her younger years (the beginning) and the mixes everything - job interview advices, business success secrets, her life, more advice and even more information about her. As a person, who doesn't need constant "You can do it!" attitude shoved in my face, I couldn't help, but to roll my eyes. I somehow imagined that a boss of her caliber had a more mature attitude and had more to say.

Igor, I guess that you must work hard, be creative and you can reach anything - almost as every other self-help book says. I think is 50/50 - it's her life story to success with some (annoying) advice. It's about being your own boss aka #Girlboss :D
I see. Well, if I had to offer anyone any word-related advice, it would be to watch Office Space.Igor
LOL I guess she made a lot of money now that the series is out.
Igor, thanks for the advice, I will try to watch it.Caro, there was a TV show too, but it was canceled after one season :D

I haven't seen it too, but after reading a book my excitement meter went to -28 :/

Hah, I am picky with TV shows too :D
Recent diamond - Shameless. A best one in a while.
You must! Fun guaranteed.
Why? It's super awesome :D I loved it.
I honestly don't know why. I know I'm supposed to like it but I just can't get hooked.
Leslie is my inner office goddess :D And Ron - well, you won't go far without his advice.https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-sta...
But it's Offerman :D How can one not like him!
But you don't love it :/
I'm trying to start watching it again. It's funny, but not HAHA!! funny, at least not yet. It has some really good moments though. So I'm not giving up.Have you watched 30 Rock? Now that was one that cracked me up, especially seasons 1 to 4 or so.
I tried :/ But didn't stick with me at all, even if I just love Tina Fey.
Hah, didn't stick with me at first too, but then I got all sucked in. :D
Oh, oh! I recently saw an awesome show! "Glow"!
OMG I know what you're talking about. Gee, idk tbh :D
Have you seen it? Will you watch it if no? :D
It certainly looks interesting, but all that kitschy stuff about it... xD
The show is quite realistic. The poster in IMDB is over the top, and the show is not all glitter and pink lights.
Well I am sure it's pretty much "slice of life" type of series, but I'm not sure if I want to get into that... pit.
What pits do you like? :D
Oh, oh again, Cormoran Strike TV series are out, will you be watching?
Yeah! Sure I will! Can't freakin' wait! >:D
I seen the first episode - BAM, I liked it. I think it's the third time I found TV series better than the books.
Three episode - The Cuckoo's Calling ones. Yes :D Surprise.
Yay, thanks, now I know how I'm going to spend my Saturday night :D
And I will probably be finished way earlier. It's good :D
Ahhh, British or American? :D(Please, say British).
Of course British. I didn't even know about american one.And omg, I started watching The Tick xD
American is called Gracepoint. And it also has Tennant in it :D Which season have you seen? First is awesome, second is so so, and third is smashing. Is is your pit? Is it funny?
Seriously? With Tennant?? Is it that shitty that you were afraid I was watching it? :D Can anything with Tennant even be shitty??? :DYeah, first was wow, second one was so so, and third is disgusting and great.
It's funny and it's sort of a parody of superheroes genre. It's just 6 eps long/short, I think you can try watching it with no serious brain damage. ;)
Is this a self-help book thingie?
