About The Book

If your entire life was online against your will--if everyone knew about your potty training, your first breakup, and even your coming out story--how would you feel?

I Didn’t Ask For This follows the members of Not Your Baby Anymore, a group of kids who share one thing in common: their parents are social media influencers who have shared their entire lives online. The group forms a chosen family as each member struggles with how to break away from a life and fame that they didn’t ask for and do not want.
