Kids say (3 ):

Still in his early 20s, Tyler Oakley displays a remarkable maturity as he looks back at the events, people, and phases of his life that have led his phenomenal success as a YouTube personality. The lively writing ably conveys Oakley's charm and wit with an honesty and warmth that make him instantly likable. Older teens mature enough to handle the strong language and frank talk about life from an adult perspective will easily relate to Oakley's struggles and successes. Whether gay or straight, and whether you've seen one of his videos or not, readers will connect with the universality of the emotions at the heart of every story Oakley tells about himself.

Did we miss something on diversity?
