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.

I "read" as an audiobook. 100% reccomend consuming it in that format- lots of audio clips of them performing while in high school, singing lyrics while reading them. I don't think this book would be very interesting if you weren't a fan of there music or weren't intetested in stories discussing sexuality, growing up etc. 

I found it fairly easy to listen to, but it probabably wouldn't be for everyone. Lots of talk about love interests, teenage sexuality and drug use.
