'High School' is perfect for fans of the Canadian sisters.
Some memoirs are all-encompassing, whereas other memoirs provide you with just a slice of a person’s life. This memoir is the latter. Many of us would likely run the other way if someone asked us to write a memoir of our high school years, but that’s exactly what Tegan and Sara Quin did.
The first Tegan and Sara song I ever heard was “Living Room.” That catchy melody, those clear voices, how their individual voices blended together so well – I was hooked. When I heard they were writing a memoir, my interest was piqued and I wanted to learn more about them, but I’m just not sure this book is what I had in mind.
ADVERTISEMENT The title is pretty self-explanatory: reading this book was like peeking into their high school lives. Told in alternating chapters, it begins in 10thgrade and goes through 12thgrade, summers included. I’m not sure what I was expecting with this book, and if you go in trying to find a neat and tidy linear plot, you’re going to be disappointed. In each of the prologues the twins make statements that are telling. Sara writes, “…Opposite me, I registered the empty space.
If you’re looking for a memoir detailing Tegan and Sara’s high school years, nothing more and nothing less, you’ll enjoy this. Parts of it felt a bit tangential and unnecessary, and I do wish the book focused more on their musical journey and their early years as a group, making their way in the business, rather than the struggles with friendships and the sneaking out and drugs that make up a considerable percentage of the book.
Overall, if you’re a big Tegan and Sara fan, you’ll want to pick this book up. If you simply like their music, this could be hit or miss, depending on how deep a story you’re looking for. If they come out with a memoir telling the story of their music career, that’s a book I’d definitely pick up. This wasn’t it for me. #cf_5 .cf-btn:after { border-radius: 0px } .cf-content-wrap, .cf-form-wrap{ padding:5px; } div#cf_5 { margin-bottom: 20px; } .cf-content-text.
