Former Vice President Kamala Harris has done something that politicians rarely do. She has written a book that will likely torch relationships and could make a future career in Democratic politics more difficult. But Harris is firmly in her Rihanna phase, with zero you-know-whats to give.

I’m here for it. In taking off what she calls her “armor,” Harris has melded her private self with her public persona — a refreshing and overdue shift. She has traded calculation and caution for candor, making for a dishy read — even though readers already know how it ends.
