Thank you so so much for writing this amazing book, I own all three different editions and I’ve been watching all the writing vlogs since the first one came out. Thank you for making amazing KZbin content and the most AMAZING book i have ever read!! (Also my sister just told me I was in the thumbnail like what is life?!?!)

[@morganargo4854]

I just want to say that I have been watching your channel since I was in 7th grade, and I am now a sophomore in college. Every time I am in a book slump, I come to your channel and get inspired to pick up another book. You are such a role model and a pure source on the internet! Thank you so much for inspiring and just being yourself. I teared up watching this a lot!! Thank you again! Keep writing and making videos, you are amazing!

[@rf_8064]

I having been watching Christine for many many years now, watching her growth as a person and fulfilling her life goals has been so wonderful. Such an inspiration!

[@jennypower5373]

Words cannot describe how proud I felt reading this book 💓 I absolutely loved it! I have been watching your channel since 2012 and just watching your journey and how you worked to accomplish this achievement is so inspiring. I am currently studying abroad in the Netherlands and this book honestly couldn't have came at a better time. It's my first time ever living away from home and in a different country no less and your book has made me realise that I need to make the most of every opportunity here that I can because unlike Shane I won't get to do it again (but better). Thank you for always putting a smile on my face, I can always count on you and your videos to that!

[@onepageahead7582]

I remember finding your channel back when I was in sixth grade. Fifth-Sixth grade were lonely years for me when I didn’t really have any friends. Your channel helped me feel not alone. Thank you so much for that. I teared up watching the first stop and everyone cheered so incredibly loudly for you. I’m so happy for you, and I can’t wait to read your next book!

[@hannahcherney5627]

You are so amazing Christine and have come so far! The passion you put behind this book and the heart you have for those reading it is so evident. What a cool journey to follow! Thanks for taking a leap of faith and putting this story out in the world. Love you! 💕

[@huda9445]

I just want to say to Christine and anyone on the BOOKTUBE community. That thank you for creating a very fun space of KZbin that is somewhat Drama free ( I know their is drama but it’s fun and actually makes sense , because most of it is just opinion sharing and discussions , which is natural because we as humans have different opinions for every thing including BOOKS ) { don’t get me wrong they are some people who make others feel bad when they love a certain book and I HATE THAT PART } I am saying this because as I think most of us know about the makeup community drama and it’s clear there that most of them or money hungry and bad friends with each other and everyone is hating each other and we don’t know who to trust in there ( I actually don’t watch make up videos but I know about the drama) So thanks for everyone on this community and please remember that your opinion is valid and important but doesn’t mean that you can make people feel bad for loving someone that you don’t. ❤️

[@Dragondarkness30]

WOW What an experience I felt like I was along for the ride. I cant believe you got Sarah J. Maas on one of your tour stops that was awesome. I'm so proud of you Christine.
