I hadn’t watched many of Carrie’s videos on YouTube. I saw her live one year when she was in The War of The Worlds, and that was the first I had heard about her. I think I actually saw more of her videos after reading the book!

This is a self-help/memoir with a bit of everything in it. It gave me a good laugh and was definitely entertaining throughout. Carrie reflects on her teenage years – the mistakes that she made and the fun that she had. She actually had a pretty normal life other than Tom Fletcher being her brother!

I did love all of the nerdy puns she used! It definitely gave me a good laugh.

The book is full of little anecdotes. I didn’t really get along with the form because it didn’t seem to flow very well. Each chapter (or ‘act’ as she puts it) jumps around a lot throughout Carrie’s childhood which made it a bit hard to follow. I would rather she had just written about her childhood than categorising everything and making it into a bit of a confusing mess.

My main problem with this was that parts felt forced. The writing didn’t always flow or feel natural and I feel like that fits in with the theme of YouTubers bringing out books. They often seem rushed and not quite right, and this one was another of those.

This didn’t stop me from enjoying it, but I feel like it could do better.
