What is Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s book about?

For many fans and viewers, Kendall and Kylie’s book went completely under the radar. Believe it or not, the book is a dystopian science fiction novel. The book is called Rebels: City of Indra and many people seemed to have enjoyed it based on the reviews. A lot of fans found it hard to believe the sisters would be interested in doing something like this since it didn’t align with the interests and characteristics the celebrities were typically associated with. The novel that was published back in 2014 still causes some fans to cringe. See why the book proved to be such a controversial topic for Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans. 

Are Kendall and Kylie Jenner actually the authors of the book? 

Many fans and viewers are straight-up surprised to learn that Kendall and Kylie Jenner have a book published. However, there is a lot of controversy, particularly on Reddit, about whether the sisters are actually the authors. Though they are credited as an author, Kylie or Kendall never actually did any writing at all. The book was written by Maya Sloan, but Sloan did express that Kylie and Kendall played active roles in developing and forming the novel, according to E!. In an interview, Sloan shared, “The Jenner sisters didn’t do any of the writing, and they’ve been very upfront about that. But they were very much a part of it,” she reveals. “They had strong opinions, and we met in New York, where I was now living, and Skyped throughout the process. They read drafts, gave me notes, and I would revise based on what they wanted.” However, most people would agree, without the ghostwriter’s clarification the whole book situation is a tad confusing.
