Backstory: My Life So Far

In this funny, vulnerable, and genuine memoir, award-winning content creator and actress Avani Gregg takes you behind the scenes of her incredible life, sharing how a girl from small-town Indiana went on to become TikToker of the Year.

With more than fifty million followers on social media; invitations to glamorous events around the world; awards, magazine covers, and even her own makeup line--Avani Gregg never imagined this wild ride for herself. After all, she was just from a small town, spending her time hanging with friends and family and combing thrift-store racks for finds. It only took one video--her famous "Clown Girl Check"--and she suddenly found herself vibing as one of the original Hype House creators. "People think I exploded overnight," the eighteen-year-old TikTok sensation says. "But they don't know the half of it. They don't know what came before or after. They don't know my Backstory."

In this eye-opening memoir, Avani shares the ups and down of her remarkable life, including the devastating back injury that forced her to retire from gymnastics and abandon her dreams of Olympic gold. In the aftermath, struggling to make sense of it all, she found her calling: creating jaw-droppingly dramatic makeup looks on social media that leave her "Bebs" begging for more. Diving deep into topics like mental health, relationships, bullying, and more, Avani shares her private sketchbook and most intimate thoughts: "There's a lot we all think and feel but are afraid to say out loud. Well, I'm saying it...and it's gonna get deep."

This is the unfiltered, revealing, and deeply inspiring Backstory of someone with big dreams and how she worked to achieve them. And Avani is not holding back.
