FOR THE FRANDOM

Deeply obsessed with Connor Franta?

Then you’re going to want to pick up his second

book Note to Self, which is basically a window

break-ups, but we’ll let him tell you more.

So what is Note to Self about?

This book is

all about a

Valentine’s Day

that didn’t go

to plan (how’s that for relatable?!). But

we’re not talking your crush didn’t

call, we’re talking four teenagers

disappear, and they all happen to have

their birthday on V-Day. Things take

a massive turn and Pearl Linford has

to work out what on earth is going

on... except they’re no longer in

regular earth, they’re in some kind

of supernatural realm. With

more twists than a pretzel and

an underlying inconvenient romance,

it’s a real page-turner.

When Ed Sheeran casually

dropped ‘Castle on the Hill’

and ‘Shape of You’, he made

music history by having two

brand new singles in the

number one and two spots around the world. We

then had to wait over a month for the full album.

As usual, Ed’s new tunes bring all the ~romantic

feels~, especially in ‘Perfect’, which was written for

his girlfriend Sherry. Awww. Are we playing it on

repeat and pretending it’s about us? Yep, and not

even sorry bout it. He’s also kicking off his ÷ tour in

March, starting with Europe. Get back here, mate!
