Note to Self by Connor Franta

3.0

Poet laureate Mr. Franta is not, but this book really touches on some topics that I needed to hear and knew I felt when this book initially was published and I first read it. Looking back, there are many moments that still ring true for me. The getting comfortable in your own identity, the pain of worrying about others needs while neglecting your own or seeing yours as less important, the feeling of that first heartbreak out of the closet, etc. all still feel so familiar to me. Reading it I was suddenly 18 again in my freshman college dorm. The poetry and photos (while beautiful) feel a lot like filler to me, but in the end I had a formative experience and was taken on a journey.

3.5/5 stars
