The Secrets of My Life by Caitlyn Jenner
3.0
I've been wanting to read this for a while.
I have mixed feelings.
I did like the book. I liked the jumps in time, and it was pretty well written, and I felt like Caitlyn told her truth and I thought it was interesting to hear about her life and struggles etc.
What bothers me a bit doesn't really have to do with the book, but more with some of her actions since the book was published. Some of Caitlins actions just don't align with being a person who is respectful of other LGTBQ+ people, and specifically other Trans people. AKA, lashing out against other public trans women on social media and such. Politically some of the stuff she has said doesn't make sense to me either. And that doesn't sit well for me.
Honestly though, that's what made me want to read this book more. I wanted to hear what Caitlyn had to say in general. And ahe addressed some of it in the book, and i even felt like it was well/respectfully said, she just didnt really stick to some of it in her actions in the past few years.
Even though I don't agree with some of her actions, I do respect her story, and all of the intimate details she shared from her life did make for an interesting read. It felt to me as if she was being real and I appreciated that. I also appreciated she spilt the tea on Kris Jenner a bit too.
