It seemed natural to read a book titled
"A Work in Progress" when you believe you are a work in progress yourself!! And your blog represents that!!
This book came as a recommendation from my second born. I have not read too many Young Adult books which my daughters read because it is all about fantasy fiction and I just don't get it!!
This one was special to them!
It is a book by a YouTuber!! Now if you were anything like me, you would blink twice too!! and probably seek google!
I asked them again and again and again! YouTuber? What's that!
Well, they make money posting YouTube Videos! Its a career!!!Vlogger!!
This book is a memoir. By a 22 year old YouTuber called Connor Franta!
Don't memoirs need experience that comes with age and living and struggling?
The girls had loved the book, so I decided to give it a try!
My March read, while they studied for their exams, I kept them company.
I did not cloud my judgements by watching any of his videos on YouTube or reading a review of the book online.
Overall comment:
I liked it!
I never thought I would.
I started off reading it with a bit of hesitation, wondering what would I learn from a spoilt kid's view of life.
His book reads like a blog!!
He talks about growing up pains, his identity, belongingness, individuality, passion, fear, art, sports. Life.
At any age, life is the same, we live,lose, laugh, cry. The feelings and emotions we experience differ because of our maturity in handling them over several occasions.
Some people may not like the prose, since its not a story. This is what made it interesting, because it was not a biography.
His style of writing is advanced. Conversational but not too informal. Tastefully Simple.
Now i do understand why my kids talk the way they do! Punctuated heavily!!
Colourful photographs as well!!

The book and the flow works on you and I started liking how he touches on the surface of a variety of topics. Leaves you forming your own opinions and reflecting on your own situations. Nice!
A quick interesting read!
