Summary: A raw, honest, and revealing co-memoir by Brie and Nikki Bella: twin sisters, WWE Hall of Fame inductees, and stars of the hit E! shows Total Bellas and Total Divas.

As twins, the Bellas have always competed. Legend has it that Nikki drop-kicked Brie in the womb so that she could make her grand entrance first. But the rest of the world often treated them as identical and even interchangeable, so they decided to do something about it.

After they made it into WWE, the Bellas accomplished so much together: bringing in young girls and women while building the Bella Army, helping the transition of female performers from Divas to Superstars, starring in Total Divas and Total Bellas, and founding companies like Birdiebee, Nicole + Brizee Beauty, and Bonita Bonita Wine.

Though their early journey began with loss, abuse, and plenty of rough times, these challenges “shined the diamond.” They resolved to be survivors and the heroes of their own stories, and to take control and responsibility for their lives. Eventually, they would come to show girls everywhere that they can do anything. The Bellas may be identical twins—but as individuals, they have proven themselves Incomparable.

Incomparable

I was never a wrestling fan until I started watching it with my husband. While I haven’t watched it lately but I was watching during the time of the Bella Twins. I also saw episodes of their spinoff shows. It never occurred to me to read a wrestling book. When I buy books online I only buy from the clearance section. I had already gotten everything I wanted and need one more book to get free shipping. So I thought, why not? I like wrestling and the Bella Twins. It might be interesting.

It WAS interesting. I enjoyed the book. It was nice getting a behind the scenes look at not only the Bella Twins themselves but women’s wrestling. You get the see the change from women being panty-wearing eye candy to Divas to Superstars.

If you watched the Bellas on wrestling and watched Total Divas and Total Bellas, you might think there is nothing new to learn. However they do share stories that they’ve never told before, especially about their childhood.

Canadian?? I buy my books from Book Outlet because they are always cheap but still fine quality. If you buy through my referral link you can get a $10 coupon OFF of a $25+ order and I will get $10 off too. But really I recommend this site no matter what. I order at least twice a year.
