Released in the autumn of 2019, Tegan and Sara Quin's memoir mainly covers the space between Grade Ten and their first successes in the music industry. We see some of their earlier life, but mostly to provide context. Although they are very different people who frequently do not get along, their identities cannot be separated from the fact of being born monozygotic twins. Sara claims no clear visual memory of Tegan prior to the age of four:
...the snapshots of my mind contain no trace of her. What I can summon is the feeling of her. As if she existed everywhere, and in everything.
When they are separated at four for the first time in their lives, she writes,
I lay on her grandmother's living room couch with a fever. Opposite me, I registered the empty space.
Without Tegan, THPT (sneak a peek here) I had become me. And it was awful.
Tegan's experience is even stranger.
