Keeping Up With the Kardashian stars’ first novel, Rebels: City of Indra, opened up about what like to work with the E! beauty’s in an essay she penned for Cosmopolitan, in which she details how she came to work for the Jenner sisters, as well as the ups and downs of her unique job. The author landed the job after her husband draw a mock-up of what Kendall and Kylie’s characters might look like. Sloan explains, “Teenagers respond to visuals.” And while the Jenners may not have written the sci-fi story, Sloan says they were still involved in the process. Noting later that she understands why Kendall and Kylie “have to put up a wall,” she recalls when she was finally able to get to know the girls on a deeper level. “Behind that wall, which I eventually did break down, are two real girls. They have all the angst, emotions, and intense love of any teenager. That’s what I tried to bring out in the book.”
