Status Updates From All In: An Autobiography

This is one of those rare circumstances where I completely understand why the affair happened. Having her husband refuse a divorce over and over again, as he remained across the country, while BJK was struggling with being a lesbian with only other closeted gays to speak to about it, it totally makes sense. Then, add in the fact that Larry King’s own infidelity was never scrutinized.

Speaking to a Renee to learn more about trans women in sports shows a lot of intelligence on BJKs part, as friendly conversations are the most important part of understanding, and it’s better to assume you’re ignorant rather than assume you know everything. Considering this was the 1970s, Renee needed all the understanding she could get. This book is an incredible history of queer sports.

I love the subtle beef against Margaret. “So yeah I was breaking this record and winning this title, and oh by the way, *margaret* lost against my friend again.” And you know what, valid.

Being vulnerable about her internalized homophobia made this book so genuine

Do I watch the battle of the sexes match before or after I finish the book? Ugh! She described it so well.

The build up to the Bobby Riggs match is written so well. The book makes it worth your while to wait for that game. Because BJK knows that’s why people are reading her book.

Crazy to say your wife wanting to divorce you is just identity problems😭

Tearing up over Billie’s kindness to Chrissie

The $1 contract is a very cool moment

This is painful to hear. The way progress go backwards sometimes is disheartening and very real in 2026.

I just love this book
