Once I started this, I could not stop listening. I finally downloaded it after saying I was going to for weeks. I loved it. It is amazing. I feel like I can relate to the author so much it's not funny. His wisdom at such a young age is amazing and reminds me of me. He put everything I thought into one book. He is amazing and this book is amazing. I'm sure it will help a lot of young and maybe even older people find their way.

Connor is so so SO talented and he inspires me so much, whether it be in his 2011 videos, or his memoir, or his videos now! I love that boy to death and I loved this story just as much ❤️
