Twin sisters Sara and Tegan Quin revisit their adolescence in 1990s Calgary, before they became recording artists. Told in alternating voices, the memoir follows their separate experiences of identity, sexuality, first love, family upheaval, friendship, drugs, and the first songs they wrote together. Their memories sometimes diverge even when they describe the same rooms and events, making the sisters' relationship part of the story as well as its structure. The result traces how two teenagers began finding both their individual voices and the collaboration that would shape their adult lives.
