Jonathan and Drew Scott's "It Takes Two"


Jonathan and Drew Scott, known for their wildly popular HGTV shows including Property Brothers and Brother vs Brother, follow up their New York Times bestseller, Dream Home, with a highly anticipated memoir. It Takes Two: Our Story shares never-before-revealed tales of the brothers’ childhood and rise to fame—from starting their first business at 7 years old, their years modeling and acting, to their first house purchase at the impressive young age of eighteen. They soon found their true passion in life, combining their natural gifts for entertaining with the skills they learned from buying, renovating, and selling homes.
Complete with hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from set, Jonathan and Drew discuss how their family and upbringing have led to their success in life. Throughout, the brothers keep fans laughing with the clever—and sometimes zany—sibling banter for which they’re known best. ~taken from Amazon

So this is a book that had been on my "highly anticipating" list and I knew that if the audio version was actually narrated by the twins, that was the route I was taking. IT WAS and it did not disappoint! 

The light-hearted banter between Jonathan and Drew flowed throughout the book. They shared stories of their childhood, tales of their troubles pre-HGTV, and behind the scenes information once they became huge stars!

The sarcastic duo's voices were pleasant to listen to, and surprisingly their personalities projected the same in the audio book as they do on tv. Even their brother, girlfriend, fiance and parents had cameos, cementing in my mind that these two characters are the real deal. No fluff added to their multiple tv shows. They are who they are!

This book was a pleasure to listen to and I especially loved hearing about their life prior to fame. I won't give away any spoilers! The only complaint I have about the audio version is that sometimes I forgot who was actually talking! They sound the same! 

If you enjoy Jonathan and Drew Scott on television, you will enjoy hearing (or reading) this memoir, I guarantee it! 

A 5 star read for me! You can pick this up now at your local bookstore, online book retailer or library! 

Happy Reading!
