A confessional, uplifting memoir from the beloved YouTube personality.

It’s not where you begin that matters.

It's where you end up.

Twenty-three year old Joey Graceffa has captured the hearts of millions of teens and young adults through his playful, sweet, and inspirational YouTube presence (not to mention his sparkling eyes and perfect hair). Yet, Joey wasn’t always comfortable in his skin, and in this candid memoir, he thoughtfully looks back on his journey from pain to pride, self-doubt to self-acceptance.

To his fans, Joey is that best friend who always captures the brighter side of life but also isn’t afraid to get real. In the pages of his first book, he opens up about his years of struggling with family hardships and troubles at school, with cruel bullying and the sting of rejection. He tells of first loves and losses, embarrassing moments and surprising discoveries, loneliness, laughter, and life-changing forks in the road, showing us the incalculable value of finally finding and following your true passion in this world. Funny, warm-hearted, and inspiring, Joey Graceffa’s story is a welcome reminder that it’s not where you begin that matters, but where you end up.

Youtuber Joey graceffa shares his life story with us all. Now this book has different times in place like, middle school, Vidcon, college, etc. This book is called In Real Life by Joey Graceffa. The protagonist is himself. And the antagonist is everyone else. A major conflict is his first date with a boy, a while after he had came out to his friends. Another is dealing with his mother growing up and her drinking a lot. One conflict he was defeating was the boys in the school who made fun of him for being gay and having a girlfriend, he told the boys off and then didn't have to be around the negativity. Over all this book was amazing and I had really loved it, I've learned lots more about Joey graceffa in the days I was reading!
