Customer Reviews

Awesome Book!

I finished this book in one day! Very inspiring, and keeps you intrigued. 10/10, highly recommend!

Fun, Inspiring Read for the Millennial

This book is a great read if you feel like you'll never achieve your dreams. Amoruso writes about her struggles and how she finally found success. It's inspiring and she writes in a way that you can relate to.

An enjoyable read

I enjoyed this. Certainly contained good advice, was a fast, easy read, and could be quite humorous at times.

Easy read

I loved this book. I found it motivating and inspiring.

Plenty of Sass

Funny, entertaining, sassy, sarcastic, and incredibly smart. Amoruso manages to bring her funny/sarcastic personality onto these pages while seriously teaching about what it means/takes to be a girlboss. I took so much from this book and I have a strong feeling I'll be rereading it once I'm done with university. The balance between the casual narration style and spot on intelligent business/life advice is fantastic. It makes reading it so easy and 100% struck a nerve with me. Pick this up if you feel like you need a motivational push in your life no matter what area of your life you need said push for. This book is all about kicking ass and being your personal best against all odds. Highly recommend!
