Overall, I really enjoyed A Work in Progress and would recommend it if you’re looking for a great non-fiction read.In this intimate memoir of life beyond the camera, Connor Franta shares the lessons he has learned on his journey from small-town boy to Internet sensation-so far. I really enjoyed the photos scattered throughout the book and how unique this book felt compared to other memoirs I’ve read. All of his stories are well spoken and not overly detailed. It was really interesting to read about Connor’s life and he seems like a really cool person. I felt like I was friends with Connor and was just hanging out, listening to his stories. But I seen so much hype around this book that I picked it up and I actually really liked it.Ī Work in Progress is very well written and in a style that feels conversational. I’ve never seen Connor’s videos before and I’m typically disappointed in books by YouTubers. This full-color collection includes photography and childhood clippings provided by Connor and is a must-have for anyone inspired by his journey. 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.

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.Įxploring 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.
