3. GirlBoss
If you are interested in fashion and have ever dreamed of being a girl boss, this book is well worth reading. Sophia Amoruso is the founder and executive chairman of Nasty Gal. Just like most of age twenty something teenagers who are somewhat of an outcast, she dropped out of school and was broke at that time. But it was also from there that she began selling vintage clothes on eBay and later found a $250-million-plus fashion retailer with more than four hundred employees. In this book, Sophia talks frankly and candidly about her experiences pre-success and post-success in a fascinating and funny way.
