tegan and sara

Tegan and Sara have released eight studio albums and sold well over one million records…

… earning seven Gold certifications and one Double Platinum certification in the process. They have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, from Coachella to the Academy Awards and been recognized with three Juno Awards, a GRAMMY® nomination, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and the 2018 New York Civil Liberties Union Award. In 2016, they created the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women.

High School is the duo’s first memoir -a revelatory and unique coming-of-age story of growing up at the height of grunge and rave culture in the nineties. 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 and Sara’s points of view, the book is a raw account of the drugs, alcohol, love, music, and friendship they explored in their formative years. A transcendent story of first loves and first songs, High School 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 each other.
