Comments:

Quite a well-written memoir of (then-)22 year old vlogger, Youtuber and Internet sensation. Franta writes short chapters that are biographical and insightful, with an honest, up-beat engaging voice that covers his childhood in Minnesota, his sudden Internet fame, his sexuality/coming out, his small-town values, and his charitable works. While it's always refreshing to include a memoir on the Isinglass list, I suspect the depth of Franta's introspection might be better suited to the Flume readers, young adults in college or those who have recently graduated college. - Yvette/Merrimack
