Synopsis
The book contains personal stories, photographs, and diary entries from each of the three sisters. Among the personal stories, Khloé discusses her regret about losing her virginity at age 14 to an older boyfriend, writing "Feeling rushed and pressured and unsure should have been my clue that I wasn't ready to take that step." Kim discusses being starstruck by meeting many celebrities she had admired. Kourtney talks about her obsessive need for neatness and organization in her home. All three write about their late father, attorney Robert Kardashian. They also write about their father's friendship with O. J. Simpson and their memories of the O. J. Simpson trial in 1995 and the effect it had on their family.[3]
In addition to personal stories, the book contains advice about makeup, style, and dating. In regards to dating, Kim Kardashian writes in the book "When no one in your family likes a person, there’s got to be something to it," referring to her unsuccessful relationship with her second husband.[4]
Reception
