First loves, first songs, and the drugs and reckless high school exploits that fueled them—meet music icons Tegan and Sara as you’ve never known them before in this intimate and raw account of their formative years.

High School is the revelatory and unique coming-of-age story of Sara and Tegan Quin, identical twins from Calgary, Alberta, growing up in the height of grunge and rave culture in the 90s, well before they became the celebrated musicians and global LGBTQ icons we know today. While grappling with their identity and sexuality, often alone, they also faced academic meltdown, their parents’ divorce, and the looming pressure of what might come after high school. Written in alternating chapters from both Tegan’s point of view and Sara’s, the book is a raw account of the drugs, alcohol, love, music, and friendships they explored in their formative years. A transcendent story of first loves and first songs, it captures the tangle of discordant and parallel memories of two sisters who grew up in distinct ways even as they lived just down the hall from one another. This is the origin story of Tegan and Sara. Biographies & Memoirs Entertainment & Celebrities Music Celebrity Heartfelt

I was in high school in Canada at the same time as Tegan and Sara, so this book is reminiscent of those days for me. I love the rawness of their story telling and the original recordings of some of their first songs. Listening to it for a second time already!

Memoirs are not a genre I usually gravitate towards but this one is special becuase of the authors and their story. it means a lot to hear intimate details of people that I idolized as a young person when I was trying to navigate sexuality and coming out and feeling very othered. really enjoyed listening to this. I liked that they didn't seem to make their story fancy or flashy - they do stuff that young ppl in the 90s would do like going to Dennys regularly and such. it feels honest which I really appreciate.

if your a Tegan and Sara fan, it's well worth it

if you want the story of twins, discovering who they are and coming out and making music to express everything they couldn't. I highly suggest this. I am glad i listened, it was a priviledge to hear this from their own voices.

stunningly authentic

I love Tegan and Sara! JUST saying! This book made me feel so many emotions. Most of all, they used their voice! Not only singing but standing up for Gay people at a young age. Damn, girl, throw that chair! You did it for all those people who wanted to stand up for themselves, but we're too scared too. That moment with their stepdad in Denny's made me cry and laugh simultaneously. This book is a favorite, next to Trevor Noah's memoir! I live in North Vancouver, loved you guys for many years! Can I please buy your first tape set? I love every song in this book. I feel like I'm writing to you, like you guys would actually read it. Haha anyway. I hope you guys do write more books because, throughout this book, I felt like it was like a fiction book. It reads like one.

wow!
