Well worth the read!
While not always agreeing with the Bush politics I've always admired and respected this family. This is a heart warming book that made me laugh and cry and gives this senior citizen hope for then future. I am hopeful that others will read this with an open mind and heart. There is much to learn here particularly with the country so divided about unconditional love and acceptance despite our differences.

I liked the girls.
It was interesting geting to learn about a very privileged life that few can experience. Being in the spotlight is a very difficult life and they had extraordinary parents and grandparents that kept them grounded. The support and caring of their extended family is an unusual blessing. The content seemed controlled with no real depth, but who would want to air problems to the public.These two young women survived difficulties and took advantage of their opportunities, to become caring, contributing members of society.Any woman reader without a sister will envy what Jenna and Barbara have in their relationship. I applaud their candor in what they did write.This is a very “light read” when there is an occasion for that type book.

I have never written an amazon review before but felt compelled to share that this is such a joyful and enjoyable read! This is not a book about politics, it is a book about sisters and special bonds.

Enjoyable, interesting read
I bought this as a kindle book on a discount site. Did not vote for Bush. Oddly , started reading it as an escape from current political situation. Enjoyable read. First of all, fun to hear abt what it can be like to be a fraternal twin with all the comparisons that go on. But, also, the fun supportive parts. Secondly, interesting to read abt what is what like to be a college student with a secret service detail. And what 9/11 was like for dau of President. Lastly, liked hearing more abt Geo W. Esp touched by the descriptions of his paintings of wounded warriors and the angst he felt abt the war. I was never sure if he truly understood all the loss that would be involved when he made the decision to go to war. Appears he did later for sure. So, gave me a more complex picture of Bush 2.

It tells of the love and bond between the Bush twins and their family
The Five Stars are because I read this on a cold Saturday afternoon when it was sleeting out and this book put some warmth back into my soul. It tells of the love and bond between the Bush twins and their family. It is also about growing up in the public eye, which they did with dignity. I read their mothers book, and these Bush women are pretty good writers for gals not in the business. Obviously the sisters led interesting lives of privilege, but they seem to have retained humor, kindness and morality. Very enjoyable.

Recommend!
Great book of stories written by the Bush sisters Barbara and Jenna. It is very interesting to get an insight into the Bush family and their presidential way of living. I really enjoyed reading this book, and Barbara Bush( the First Lady) is especially inspiring to me. Would recommend to everyone interested in the Bushes

What a nice reading!
The time spent reading this book has been not just nice and enjoyable but also full with thoughtfull bits. The book went well over my expectations and left me craving for more family stories and personal insights into the lives of two young ladies who were definitely born privileged but who have not been resting on laurels and have decided to give their lives a meaning. Well done girls!
