I started watching WWE in 2008. When I watched religiously every Monday, Friday (& when it moved to Tuesdays), I latched onto these two wonderful women. The Bella Twins, Nikki & Brie. I’ve watched them throughout the years, watching them on the microphone on tv every week, but also through their shows Total Divas and Total Bellas. It’s been over 10 years since I started to see these lovely ladies that they’ve almost become part of my own weekly routine.
When I received this book, I just knew it was going to be powerful. The best part of watching them once (at least) a week, was that I could read their stories in their voices as if they were speaking to me right from their hearts. It was so interesting to see these two ladies in how similar they were as twins, but also how different they were. You could just feel that they've done some crazy things in their lives, but they also were showing that one could be the quieter one or the more reserved one. It was really a beautiful thing to get such a up-close and personal look into their lives.
I think this book is a testament that no matter how public someone’s life is, you will never know someone’s whole story. The amount of things that I literally gasped at, teared up at, and laughed out loud at were amazing. You see these things on TV and just assume that you know all about them. You see what you see on TV and that's it! These two ladies really spoke about their childhood and how hard of an upbringing it was. That's really hard for someone to do and I commend these ladies for it.
This is the Bella Twins' first book, but you would think that it was their 3rd. They wrote so well and really captured the reader with their words. It was amazing to see these ladies, who do so well on TV in their shows, really get gritty and down-to-it in this book.
I hope that these two come out with 100 more books in the future because I’d love to read them all!!

I loved listening to the stories of Nikki and Brie Bella. They allowed us into their lives to help inspire others, to let us know that every human experience is personal yet we all share similar experiences.
My heart goes out to Nikki and Brie, they are tough, bad-ass women who deserve everything they have worked so hard for.
I loved the last few chapters about women empowerment and sexual empowerment for women. It touched my heart and made me feel seen. I, myself have struggled with my sexuality. I was raised from childhood that anything to do with sex was bad, that men were bad and that I should wait for marriage.
Like Bella's mum, I have kept and continue to keep secrets from my mum about my sexuality, she wouldn't understand, she holds onto her old beliefs that are buried deep inside her that she won't change and she will judge me for the choices and actions I have made.
Like Nikki, I love to dress up for myself, it's a way to express myself, I love putting outfits together and hearing Nikki talk about dressing up for herself made me feel seen. My mum has judged what I wear since my early teens and continues to judge what I wear to this day, now that I am in my early 20's. She once accused me of dressing like I do because I want men's attention and I don't. I don't want to be hyper-sexualised, I like dressing in what makes me comfortable, bold and attractive.
Back to the book, I would highly recommend this, you will learn so much from the Bella's. It's empowering, reflective and heart-felt.

They were both very honest and open about their childhood and young adult years. I would have liked to read more about how they set up their companies but overall, I enjoyed this book.
