Deepti Vempati is many things: breakout star of Netflix’s hit reality dating show, Love Is Blind, Indian immigrant, data analyst, daughter, sister, and a symbol of women’s empowerment.

Deepti captured the hearts of audiences across the globe when she turned down her fiancé at the altar—a man who, unbeknownst to Deepti, repeatedly belittled her and criticized her appearance on-screen.

Millions watched as Deepti uttered the now-famous words that became a rallying cry for women everywhere: “I’m choosing myself.” In this exclusive, tell-all book, Deepti pulls back the curtain on the world of Love Is Blind, sharing never-before-heard details on: her relationships inside and outside of the pods and what really happened after After the Altar.

Deepti also shares her personal story. Born in India and immigrating to the USA when she was a child, Deepti struggled with her bicultural identity. From feeling caged by societal standards, to entering the dating world, to gaining (and losing) 70 lbs, to becoming an overnight celebrity, Deepti takes listeners on her journey of self-discovery and proves that the most important relationship you can have is with yourself.
