It is after all written by artists who’ve been making music since their teens and who are about to release a tenth studio album Crybaby later this month. But it’s precise and poetic — both of its authors are aware of how fruitful the economy of words can be especially when it comes to tapping into raw all-consuming feelings in a not-trite way.Rivered with song lyrics — even better.
listen to the sisters read the audiobook version — and full of candid photographs of the twins the memoir is like a time capsule. A lot of people write about their young adulthood but few coming-of-age memoirs actually feel like YA proper. It’s hard not to put a lot of retrospective narration into books like this somehow Tegan and Sara who trade off chapters told from their singular points of view tap into an authenticity that feels as close to their teenage selves as possible. For us the book might be the time capsule for them the act of writing it was unearthing that trove all of its good and bad. And maybe that’s why High School the show works so well.
