- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked it, Connor is a funny,cute young guy giving some good speech.But.. there is a big but. he has a good amount talking about not labeling people and not let labelers affect you and guess what, at least to this point he used "people in their thirties and over" twice... If it's not labeling someone tell me what exactly this is? Maybe it got on my nerves exactly because I'm in my mid thirties but still.what I mean is, it's good and adorable that he has achieved so much popularity by being himself and use a social network as his career path but he is still young and talks about lots of thing that ten years later he might consider his words or at least would have much more experience talking about them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I will not lie, the idea of a Youtuber writing a memoir was eye rolling to me to say the least. I picked up this one because it was recommended to me, and probably only because he's gay, which is a silly reason to recommend a book.However, as you can see from my 4 1/2 rating, I loved this memoir. Nearly halfway through I had to stop and ask myself, am I really a 30 year old, learning life lessons from a twenty something kid who makes videos on the internet for a living? And the answer was yes!He has a lot to say and some great views on life and living. We could all take a page out of his book, punn intended, and live life more fully. Let's follow our dreams!I will say his writing felt very scattered and sort of crazy, until I watched his videos, and then I got it. He was writing in his voice! The same scattered and overactive energy he has in his videos are found in this book, and it just works! I find him adorable and fresh and smart! It's helped me go into other books with a more open heart. Maybe we can't judge a book by its cover and have to give twenty something kids a chance to talk. They actually just might have a lot to say, and we just might learn something. I did. Thanks Connor!
