Anon Pls.: A Novel

Product Information

But when the account grows overnight and, even wilder, when she starts getting gossip from fans and insiders — juicy gossip—she has to face facts: her Instagram is now famous. Publishers Weekly was more critical, describing the book as "evocative if underwhelming" and criticizing the exposition throughout. You could easily finish in a day and definitely gives you Devil Wears Prada vibes with Cricket's horrible boss. But as the account grows and becomes more and more famous, she has to wonder: is it — the fame, the insider access, the escape from real life — really worth losing everything she has?

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It’s just a way to blow off steam after a terrible, terrible day at work where her nightmarish boss screams at her and blames her for some 18-year-old influencer's screw-up. Her boss wonders why she’s disappearing on the job, her friends are increasingly irritated by her dedication to the account, and she has celebrities, investors, and journalists approaching her nonstop. I loved the little Easter eggs, trying to decipher what was real and what wasn't, and the similarities we get in this book, like Duke Dudley's story, which is based on Army Hammer's scandal, which Deuxmoi helped break the news on. It's a wild romp through the assistant trenches, a glitzy peek at the lives of the rich and famous, and a page-turning tale about what happens when one impulsive decision spirals out of control.

I’ll admit, I have been a devotee of the Deux Moi account for some time and bought this book merely out of support for my favorite content creator. It’s a well written and fun Hollywood insider story, with relatable characters and a just the right amount of the naughty. When Cricket Lopez, assistant to one of the most notorious celebrity stylists, revamps her old style Instagram account and turns it into a celebrity gossip blog on a drunken whim, she never thinks it will become anything. No missing or damaged pages, no tears, possible very minimal creasing, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. From its creator comes a fun debut novel that promises to be… everything you might expect from DeuxMoi.Booklist's Susan Macguire positively compared it to Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada.

Kirkus Reviews praised the authors' prose and drew comparison to other books in the autofiction genre. Fletcher Peters, of The Daily Beast, criticized the acquisition, writing that while she did not believe the DeuxMoi account to be actively malicious, the account's sharing of private details "is not the type of behavior that should be rewarded with a book, nor a TV show, nor the gorges of followers she's amassed on Instagram.

Observer praised the book for capturing "how celebrity gossip culture has been completely democratized by armchair commentators" and commented that the reflections throughout on the nature of internet anonymity were surprisingly thoughtful.Plus, there’s a steamy new love interest who she meets through her online persona—except she has no idea if she can truly trust his motives. It is being developed as a one-hour drama series via Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. But when the account grows overnight and, even wilder, when she starts getting gossip from fans and insiders—juicy gossip—she has to face facts: her Instagram is now famous. Though no one knows that she is behind the account, its newfound success quickly wreaks havoc on her real life.

A sharp page-turner that’s utterly of-the-moment but also a timeless story of love and self-discovery.Sexy, suspenseful, and so good you won't want to put it down-not even to check on the latest stories in Deuxmoi's feed. As initially reported in May 2022, the project is currently set up at Max with a script-to-series commitment.
