Concept[edit]
The book features various selfies of Kardashian, including travel pictures, family photos, and swimsuit shots. The book also features various nude photographs, including pictures that were leaked during the celebrity photo hack in September 2014. Kardashian explained the reasoning of including the pictures: "I wasn't intending to put these in the book but saw them online during the iCloud hack. I'm not mad at them. [...] They are taken with a Blackberry and I don't have iCloud... It's all a mystery!".[6] The book contains pictures with her then-husband Kanye West and daughter North West. The book also includes selfies with her celebrity friends, such as Ciara, La La Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, Jonathan Cheban, among others, as well as her family members: Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Rob Kardashian.[6]
