Growing up in public

In *I Didn't Ask for This*, the members of Not Your Baby Anymore have had intimate parts of their childhoods shared online by their influencer parents—from early milestones to coming-out stories. Their shared experience brings them together as a chosen family, while each confronts the unwanted visibility and fame attached to their upbringing. The premise links family boundaries and online exposure with the search for independence: the central conflict is not simply being known, but having private experiences made public without consent. Framed as a coming-of-age graphic novel, the book explores what it means to claim a life that others have already presented to an audience.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age stories.
  • Readers curious about social media, privacy, and family boundaries.
  • Graphic-novel readers interested in chosen-family relationships and personal independence.

Book overview

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.
