First published 2023
Tegan and Sara Quin start fresh at a new school, planning to tackle junior high together like they always have. The identical twins face the usual middle school chaos of first crushes and puberty's awkward moments. But growing up brings unexpected changes. Each sister makes her own friends and begins exploring her identity in different ways. They start questioning their queerness separately, asking themselves who they are as individuals rather than as a pair. For the first time, Tegan and Sara wonder what one twin means without the other. Their bond shifts as they take different paths toward understanding themselves. Music becomes part of their journey as they take their first steps toward what will eventually make them famous. This graphic novel captures the sisters before they became indie-pop icons, showing how they navigated their changing relationship while figuring out who they were becoming.
