In this intimate memoir by YouTube creator Connor Franta, Connor shares the lessons he has learned on his journey from small-town boy to Internet sensation—so far. Here, Connor offers a look at his Midwestern upbringing as one of four children in the home and one of five in the classroom; his struggles with identity, body image, and sexuality in his teen years; and his decision to finally pursue his creative and artistic passions in his early twenties, setting up his thrilling career as a YouTube personality, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and tastemaker.
Exploring his past with insight and humor, his present with humility, and his future with hope, Connor reveals his private struggles while providing heartfelt words of wisdom for young adults. His words will resonate with anyone coming of age in the digital era, but at the core is a timeless message for people of all ages: don’t be afraid to be yourself and to go after what you truly want.
This full-color collection includes photography and childhood clippings provided by Connor and is a must-have for anyone inspired by his coming-of-age journey.

5By they.them.llamaThis book is amazing! I had to read it for school for a memoir segment and seeing an option like this/ not from people who lived before cars existed, was really refreshing. Not to mention as a lgbtq teen the content was relatable, understandable and inspiring. 10/10 would recommend.Worth the Read

5By Juliana2004I honestly can't explain how far he has come in his life, he has probably come farther in his life than anyone else here will, like who has time to write a whole book and edit everything and film video's for us to watch and take pictures and have a perfect Instagram, and again nobody but yet he did it and again I will never have time to write a book and work, and film video's to keep us wanting more he has accomplished more than I will ever in my entire life. I am so proud of you Conner💜Connor
