Anon Pls.: A Novel

Product Information

As initially reported in May 2022, the project is currently set up at Max with a script-to-series commitment.

Booklist's Susan Macguire positively compared it to Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada. 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. 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.For deuxmoi fans, this novel will be a solid extension of the brand's coming-of-age story, and they'll especially enjoy the inside jokes and liberal quotes from the real-life account, which helps create the tantalizing-yet-relatable tone. Kirkus Reviews praised the authors' prose and drew comparison to other books in the autofiction genre.

DeuxMoi came up with the initial concept and was connected to Jessica Goodman through their respective literary agents. DeuxMoi will executive produce along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman of Berlanti Productions.

Anon Pls,” which was written by DeuxMoi with Jessica Goodman, was published in November 2022 by William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins. While we still don't know who the mysterious person behind it the iconic DexuMoi account is, we still can't help but get excited for this wild tale. When gossip is submitted to the DeuxMoi account, submitters often request anonymity by saying "anon pls" or a variation of the phrase. While Goodman did much of the writing, she regularly collaborated with DeuxMoi to confirm various details about the celebrity world and to include references to real-world events.
