First off, let me mention that this is the first memoir I've ever read. Second, I want to mention that I like Connor and his videos, but I'm definitely not a super fan. I never even subscribed to O2L when he was on it. I simply picked this up cause I'm a nosy person and ultimately just wanted to know what Connor had to say.

I wish I had read this back in high school. There was this one distinct moment in high school that lasted a few months (much longer than it should've) where this would've been something I really needed to hear; words that would've benefited me to read. That's one reason I'm giving this 5 stars. I think it's great for Connor's 14 year-old viewers to read the words he's written and soak up his enthusiasm and wisdom. To the adults to doubt anyone under the age of 30; this 22 year-old definitely has wisdom.
While I had to work through my problems on my own, I could relate to Connor's story. But seeing as he's older than me, and, let's be honest, has accomplished much more, I still found the words inspiring, encouraging, and helpful.

Like I mentioned, I'm not a super-fan, so while I wasn't exactly interested in his childhood (don't get me wrong, I still read it, because I'm incredibly nosy) I loved reading about what he think of "fame" and his position on youtube, and even the path his channel(s) took.
Something else I really liked was the lack of, "I started making youtube video because of x." And all that other stuff that YouTubers may feel compelled to talk about but everyone of them has in common. (like how youtube gave them friends they never had or gave them the confidence they needed or that sappy crap.)

One last thing I want to mention, is how honest this book felt. If you're familiar with Connor's videos, you can hear his voice right in the writing. I really appreciated that.

Overall, I loved this. I don't think I'd recommend it if you have no idea who Connor is, but I think if you're interested, go read it! You may learn a thing or two.
