In this intimate memoir of life beyond the camera, Connor Franta shares the lessons he has learned on his journey from small-town boy to Internet sensation—so far. Here, Connor offers a look at his Midwestern upbringing as one of four children in the home and one of five in the classroom; his struggles with identity, body image, and sexuality in his teen years; and his decision to finally pursue his creative and artistic passions in his early twenties, setting up his thrilling career as a YouTube personality, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and tastemaker.
Exploring his past with insight and humor, his present with humility, and his future with hope, Connor reveals his private struggles while providing heartfelt words of wisdom for young adults. His words will resonate with anyone coming of age in the digital era, but at the core is a timeless message for people of all ages: don’t be afraid to be yourself and to go after what you truly want.
This full-color collection includes photography and childhood clippings provided by Connor and is a must-have for anyone inspired by his journey.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Memoirs by YouTube stars are a thing these days, and in the case of Connor Franta’s A Work in Progress we're glad that’s the case. Hailing from a small town in Minnesota, Franta has amassed a global fanbase of more than 4 million. He’s charming, funny, kind and surprisingly perceptive and wise for a young twentysomething. His stories about his supportive family and creative aspirations—and his advice for living a full and happy life—are disarming and wonderfully uplifting.

Denne bog
Connor Joel Franta har, i denne bog, fået mig til at reflektere og tænke mere end noget andet, og det er kun positivt. Jeg sidder her, en femtenårig dreng, og reflekterer over alle de valg jeg har taget, og hvordan jeg kan ændre de fejl jeg har begået. Jeg sidder her, i niende klasse skal snart videre på ungdomsuddannelse, og tænker over, hvordan jeg kan leve mit liv på den bedst mulige måde, og det vil jeg værdsætte.
Dette er den første bog jeg har læst på min computer, og hvor var det godt. Der er simpelthen så mange inspirerende linjer i denne bog, som jeg ved, at jeg får brug for at hive frem, og dem har det været muligt at highlighte. Jeg læste denne bog på to dage, og det var nok den bedste måde at bruge min tid.
