I think the best way to enjoy this book, especially if you're a Tegan and Sara fan, is as an audio book, as many chapters conclude with audio of early Tegan and Sara songs.

There was a lot of nostalgia of being a kid in high school in the 90s while listening to this memoir, and Tegan and Sara each told stories that highlight the teenage mortification of the time, as well as the devastation of having your heart broken, or feeling like you didn't quite fit it.

I'm not usually a memoir person, but I'm glad I listened to it, I have a deeper appreciation for Tegan and Sara, and for their music.

This one wasn’t for me.

I didn’t care for this one. The one thing that I did like about it was the audio recordings of them singing the songs at the time they were in high school. Apart from that, I didn’t care for this one.

2.5/5

Happy reading, everybody!

A genuine and lovingly open memoir about their high school experience. Except for the Lego song I don't know their music well, but I'm glad I picked up this audiobook and the time I got to spend with Tegan and Sara.

The audiobook is the superior experience this time I think. It has recordings of their early songs and interviews in there which really adds to the experience. Sara and Tegan also narrate this book and they sing their own lyrics when they read them from the text. Another fine addition.
