Narrado por: Deepti Vempati

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.

About the Author: Deepti Vempati is a TEDx speaker, reality TV star, and influencer. With over one million followers on social media, Deepti uses her platform to inspire others to find their voice and stand up for what they believe in.

Great Book!

Loved it! Highly recommend. Super easy and quick listen that kept my attention the whole time.

Great Story!

Deepti is a strong soul! She went through a lot but held her head up and showed the world she's a tough and beautiful human being!

Hi deepti

I hope you read this. I listened to your entire boy in a day and I cried from how much I could relate to it. Crazy thing is I was also born in Hyderabad india and lived there until I was 5 years old and moved to the states so I def felt every single one of your struggles. It was amazing to hear your experience and motivated me a lot to face mine. Please continue to do what you’re doing. You’re truly an inspiration.

After the show..

After being a viewer of the season, I felt interest in reading the book. Deepti was strong in sharing her journey and story. As someone who struggles with self image and anxiety, it’s nice to always be reminded that we are not alone. This story shared her life and changes along the way while finding herself all the while. It was a good representation of herself and nice to hear the trueness of her side of the love is blind journey.

Gossip read.

No judgement on anyone’s life.
Deepti has her own story. Personally for me wasn’t as interesting as I had hoped.
The writing itself was horrible. The writing was as if she was text talking to the editor.

Conversational

This book had some key concepts but overall could just be a short conversation. This wasn’t a compelling story to me or anything out of the ordinary. Many great autobiographies this doesn’t come close.

I choose myself too!

Love it absolutely inspiring, I enjoy it and finished it in a couple of days! I was in a relationship where I seen so many red flags and was being unappreciated and eventually ended it. I've grown so much since and expect nothing but the best I deserve it!

So Vulnerable

She was my favorite on the show but now I get to see a whole new side of her. Her story is so inspiring vulnerable and relatable.

Heartfelt and soul warming

It’s a must read for anyone battling with self-worth issues. Heartfelt and soul warming insights into the author’s life. Thank you, Deepti, for sharing your story, it was healing just to hear about your way.

Very Well Written

I truly enjoyed learning all about the life and experiences that brought Deepti to “choose herself.” I feel like all women can relate to a lot of the feelings/insecurities described in her story. All women should read this book. Teenage girls should read this book. There’s many lessons to be learned from it. Thank you for allowing us a peek into your life.
