Ok ok, first of all I didn't know this book before I entered my Waterstones in june. Secondly, I had to take a book because my member card was full, so I searched for one and that's when I saw A Work In Progress. Two things made me take this book :

- The way it's made : the book is really beautiful, the cut out on the cover, the paper chosen, the way it felt, in itself it's a really beautiful object

- The fact that it talks about the coming out : yup, I didn't know at all Connor Franta before reading the book (it's the part where I'm feeling old, but I must admit I don't know any of those Youtube people :D), but I'm always curious to discover life stories, so here it goes.

The book in itself is really pleasant. Beautiful, with a lot of stunning photographies, very well thought on a design basis, it's a pleasure to read. Then Connor's writing is really nice, fluid and you just go with the flow, enjoying every page. While he can be still a bit young to go really deep in every subject (but, well, it's the same for every Youtuber book I saw lately oO But ok, if you want to write a biography at 22, who am I to say anything ? :D), but his thoughts, tips and bits of life are really nice and keeps you in the loop. I've discovered a lovable guy with a lot of things to share to the world, and I can only hope it'll go on further and further :)
