Review

Matthew Espinosa had millions of followers on social media by the age of nineteen. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be creative. He was always making his family laugh, making videos for class, and talking too much in class. When he discovers YouTube, he has a bigger audience and becomes “instafamous”. Since then, Espinosa has made movies but mostly seems to be a star of social media. He shares his experiences with celebrity and answers personal questions in the #AskMatt sections of the book.This autobiography is filled with large pictures and bold graphics targeted to appeal to Generation Z. Although Espinosa promises to share an entirely different side of himself in this book, most of the information is very superficial and seems polished for public relations purposes. This is an additional purchase. Buy only if your library patrons are followers of Espinosa.

Overall Book Score: fair
