Summary
Eliza Dooley has come a long way since her dorky junior high days in Selfie. Thanks to the magic of laser hair removal, push-up bras, and filters on photos, she’s accumulated 143,000 followers on Instagram, all of whom wait with baited breath for the latest adventure in Eliza’s life, such as being pushed in a wheelchair through the airport because her 5-inch Louboutin shoes ‘are a kind of disability,” or yet another glamorous selfie.

But one lonely day, Eliza realizes that she doesn’t have the type of life that she wants. Despite the online attention, she doesn’t have anyone in real life to share the staged good times with and have actual good times with, so she enlists the help of marketing guru and buttoned up co-worker, Henry, to ‘rebrand’ herself and her reputation. In return, Eliza flirtatiously offers to do “almost anything.” used to her outrageousness being met with fawning, but Henry just blushes and insists their relationship is strictly business. And she disappoints Henry when he catches her playing Candy Crush on her phone during a wedding ceremony-with the sound on, so much so that her disregard for his teachings pushes Henry to quit.

However, Eliza charms him into giving her another chance. Besides, people are beginning to notice the sparks between them. Loosely based on My Fair Lady, Selfie explores the modern struggles of Eliza and Henry, as he tries to teach her how to live life offline- whether she 'likes' it or not.
