Review
First of all I feel like I need to point out that I really like Connor Franta and I love his YouTube Channel. So you would imagine that I would really love this book, me too but unfortunately I was wrong.
The first thing I noticed about this book was the beautiful artwork and pictures in this novel. They are very artistic and they really give incite on who Connor is and what his passions are.
One of the reasons A Work In Progress was disappointing is because I couldn't connect with it at all. Connor is a YouTube sensation, millionaire and a business mobile so you can probably see why I couldn't connect with it.
I also found some of the entries/chapters to be boring. I found myself skipping chapters because I didn't really care about that subject so it turned out I only read about 10 of the chapters.
I recommend this book to fans of Connor Franta or for people just looking for a decent memoir to read.
