This is a delightful autobiography of twin sisters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, told in alternating chapters filled with joy, laughter and touching memories. The special bond that twins have really comes through in the book as well as the difficulties they shared growing up in the spotlight and under Secret Service protection. I found it very revealing and as Jenna says in the book, "Whether I am in front of the camera or away from it, I am the same person, living an unscripted life." I found the deeply personal stories of their lives compelling, inspiring and often entertaining. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly charming. The girls take turns revealing stories and memories from childhood through adulthood. I found the sweet and revealing glimpses into their relationships with their parents and grandparents (both sides!) poignant and often both joyful and heartbreaking intertwined.

One sister wrote that, during their rebellious teen years when she quipped something especially rude to her father, he simply looked at her calmly and replied, "I love you. Nothing you ever do or say will change that. So stop trying."

**** Four stars!

The only hope for our democracy, and it's a faint one, is if one of these two challenges Ivanka in the 2024 primaries.
