I'm kinda very late to jump on the bandwagon of GIRLBOSS. I read it just last month, already after all the downs of the company in the past 5 years. But better late than never, right?
I left my job a month back and I was looking for something inspirational to read to put me in a more entrepreneurial (I hate this word and I think it is mutual) state of mind. I was browsing through the local library - a state of the art building which deserves a separate post (just look at this picture from inside).
And there it was in the Business section - #GIRLBOSS. I saw the cover before, the name sounded familiar and look at that boss pose - so why not give it a go?
The book has 3.69 out of 5 rating and thousands of reviews on the Goodreads.
I liked the book, I genuinely enjoyed it. It is lightly written, Sophia seems to be aware of her own flaws and weaknesses. It is more of a memoir than it is a business book. It is a story of the girl who decided to do what she knew how to do and enjoyed it and it suddenly (for everyone) turned into a large scale business.
I didn't expect this book to be a business Bible and guide me on how to build a business. It just doesn't look that way. But it is a good book for people who are afraid that they are not educated enough or in the right field to start a business.

I'd give this book 4 out of 5. I'd advise everyone to read it, just have your expectations set realistically - the book is not about how to succeed in business and build a multi-billion empire. I mean, in the end, the girlboss failed to keep the company afloat by herself. But it is a book about working on your passions and that it is always worth trying to start something.
And in the end - did it inspire me? Well, yeah it did, I felt more confident about doing research for potential business ideas so I guess #GIRLBOSS potentially turned just a Girl's Girl to a Boss.
