Kendall Jenner Lounges on the Beach in an Itsy Bitsy, Green String Bikini

Kendall Jenner is known to be a fan of a great micro-bikini. Last night, the 28-year-old supermodel dropped a series of photos from her latest tropical vacation to Instagram, captioning the post with a single “????” emoji.

In several shots in the carousel, Jenner is stretched out on a beach chair by the ocean in a tiny green string bikini with black straps. As she lounged on the sand, Jenner read a book with a coconut drink by her side.

Curious to know Jenner’s beach read? It was The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, a National Book Award winner. Didion captures her experience coping with the sudden loss of her husband as well as her only daughter becoming seriously ill at the same time. She recounts “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness… about marriage and children and memory… about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.”

Sartorially, Jenner included more than one bikini look for her vacation gallery. Jenner also snapped a mirror selfie in a simple black two-piece with a scooping top and high-cut bottoms.

Jenner’s getaway stirred up rumors that she had reunited with ex-boyfriend Bad Bunny. Sources with “direct knowledge” told TMZ that the former couple remains on good terms and even spent New Year’s Eve together on the island.

In an Instagram story posted by Jenner’s friend Renell Medrano, who was also on the trip, Bunny’s voice can be heard in the background of the video wishing everyone a “feliz año nuevo.” This seemed to back up TMZ’s claim, but it is unknown whether or not Jenner and Bunny actually spent that much time together.
