Since it's the summer holidays I have been reading a lot more books and one of my favourtie has been A Work In Progress by Connor Franta. Some of you may be familiar with Connor since he is an American youtuber and he has recently written a book. His youtube channel focuses around lifestyle, arty videos and a couple of collabs with other youtubers chucked in now and again. Overall his channel is a wonderful section of the big expanse that is the internet. He is nearly at 5 million subscribers, just think of how many people that is...Anyway very alike his channel, his book is fulled with positive advice and inspirational content.
First off I want to just talk about the presentation of this book. Beautiful. The cover is minimalist but extremely effective; it definitely catches eyes.The photos throughout the book are all taken by him and they remind me very much of Instagram photos. His book is like a beautifully presented Instagram page with an inspiring story along with it.
Connor's book is about his life, from the very day he was born to where he is now, and believe me it is a story worth telling. He goes through the ups and downs of friendships, relationships, school, hobbies, the future, jobs and overall just being yourself. I think everyone would come away from this book inspired and they would look at the world differently. Here is one quote from the book by Connor that I think everyone needs to know:
'What makes us even more magnificent as a species is that we are lucky enough to be uniquely different - and it's THAT individuality we must harness and celebrate.'
There are only a few words to describe this book: Beautiful, inspiring and change. This book proves that giving up isn't the only answer and sometimes you just have to remember how lucky you are. I'm not the best at giving advice so I will leave that up to Connor when you read his book. Thank you for reading and I hope you are all have an amazing summer!
Love, Scarlet x
