Tegan and Sara are identical twins who have made nine studio albums, with a tenth, Crybaby, due out in October. They will be touring this fall. Both are gay and married, and they are outspoken advocates on LGBTQ+ issues. Their prose memoir High School debuted at number 15 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction best-seller list. It won an Alex Award, the American Library Association’s award for adult books with teen appeal and is being adapted for television by Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment. While it is fictionalized, Junior High is being positioned as a prequel to High School.
