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.So Proud
5By MayLae_JRPI remeber when Con first started making videos he was so adorable and he still is. Im glad that he actually amounted to something unlike me lol. Im so proud of him and the rest of the O2L family. Can't forget about Tyler and Troye. They are all my bae's and my idles.Worth the Read
