Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life by Barbara Pierce Bush, Jenna Bush Hager
3.0

Everything about life in the White House fascinates me. I loved reading The Residence from the perspective of the staff, but this was a fun one to get the perspective of the first daughters. I loved their sisterly bond, their stories from their family and vacations and growing up around politics, and I especially loved seeing more glimpses of both George H.W. and W. I can’t imagine having both a grandfather and father be president... wild. George W. Bush was president for so much of my childhood (from 9-17) but I honestly know very little about him, so this was a really interesting peek behind the curtain. I have a lot of respect for both Jenna and Barbara and how they’ve lived their lives, especially with so much public scrutiny and attention. A fun memoir!
