From iconic musicians Tegan and Sara comes a nostalgic memoir about high school, detailing their first loves and first songs in a compelling look back at their origin story.

Before they became international musicians and LGBTQ+ icons, twin sisters Sara and Tegan Quin came of age in 90s Canada. They argued relentlessly, skipped school, dropped acid and fell in and out of love - sometimes with their best friends.

One day they found their stepdad's guitar and their lives changed course forever.

High School is a revelatory joint memoir. It captures two sisters wrestling with their sexual and artistic identities and those breathtaking years when the future seems wondrously possible.

Review of 'High School' on 'Goodreads'

i didn't expect this to be as deeply affecting as it was, nor as relatable. T&S are close to me in age, and both the larger culture of the time and the social dynamics of their high school friend group seemed very familiar to me and brought up a lot of nostalgia. musician memoirs are hit-or-miss, but given that their deeply emotional and evocative lyrics form the backbone of their music, i shouldn't have been surprised to find this well-written and emotionally resonant.
