HER LIFE. HER RULES. FINALLY.

Ophelia is the mumfluencer the world didn't know they wanted. Anuri is here to take her down. 

Every second of Anuri's childhood was documented by her successful influencer stepmother, Ophelia. Picture-perfect, beautifully curated shots of their family life are everywhere on social media. There's only one problem: it's all entirely fake. And when Anuri sees her little sister being dragged into Ophelia's online world, she decides she's had enough: it's time to take back control. 

Sharply witty and piercingly relevant, Allow Me to Introduce Myself is a fierce takedown of influencer culture and the ways we live - and lie to each other - online.
