Selfish, Kim Kardashian-West’s book of selfies, was released Tuesday and I spent nearly half an hour flipping through each of its 445 pages. Though I had spent many months looking forward to the silly collection of photographs, I was delighted to find that Selfish had a surprise waiting up the sleeves of its dust jacket: Kim’s captions. Not every photo is treated to Kim’s brief prose (they’re in her handwriting!), but those that are are the book’s best treat.
Below are a few of my favorites.

On lies we make up to enhance a narrative:
My very first selfie was taken in 1984. I put my mom’s clip-on earrings on Khloé and found a disposable camera and took a picture to capture this memory.
On her transformative friendship with Paris Hilton:
I had never really traveled until I met Paris. She showed me a whole new world.
On how boring Indianapolis is:
We were bored in Indianapolis taking photo booth pics.
On vibes and their multitudes:
It was a futuristic shoot. I love doing photo shoots and having memories and so many different vibes.
On 3-minute meals:
I watched the show with Ryan Seacrest and then went home and had Cup noodles in bed at my apartment.
On the importance of cropping:
