Back in June, Kylie and Kendall Jenner wrote a book. Yes, you read that right. And no, this isn't like Kim Kardsahian's book of selfies.
This is a work of fiction with actual words and a plot. To be fair, the girls worked with a ghostwriter, but the parties involved swear they played an active part in the writing process and that the premise of the book was all KJ and KJ's idea.
Which could have something to do with why it's been a total disaster.
The critical response to Rebels: City of Indra was overwhelmingly negative, but that's not exactly a huge surprise. (Did we mention it was written by Kylie and Kendall Jenner?)
What did come as a big shock to the book's publisher is the fact that despite the two mega-famous names on the cover, the book has been an absolute flop in terms of sales.
Rebels has sold just 13,000 copies since it first hit bookstores three months ago. To put that in perspective, Kate Gosselin's most recent memoir moved more than twice as many copies in the same time period.
Part of the problem may have been that Kylie and Kendall showed no interest in promoting the book. They were reportedly rude to fans at promotional events and would only sign a few copies of the book for the cameras before bolting.
You'd think if you'd actually written a freaking book you'd show a bit more interest in getting people to read it but, hey those selfies aren't gonna take themselves.
Maybe someday Kylie and Kendall will try their hand at literary expression again, but for now, they should probably just stick to Instagram.
This is ONE RACY photo of Kendall and Kylie Jenner in bikinis on Instagram. Goodness.
