Tegan and Sara are taking their crushes on the road this fall.

The Canadian pop duo will bring the book tour for their new graphic novel Crush to nine North American cities in October. The new book is a follow-up to last year's autobiographical Junior High, and follows the tween twins as they try to survive grade eight.


The book tour will find grown-up Tegan and Sara chatting with writers like Jillian Tamaki, Elamin Abdelmahmoud, and Kosoko Jackson about the new novel. The conversation is sure to get nostalgic, promising to tackle topics like first loves, first songs, and more.

The Quin sisters from Calgary first made their name as an indie rock duo in the 2000s before ascending as pop stars in the 2010s, and have gone on to receive multiple Juno awards, Grammy and GLAAD nominations, and a Governor General's Award for performing art.

In recent years they've expanded into other mediums. The graphic novel series follows their 2019 memoir High School, which was also adapted into a TV show.

The sisters also founded the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which provides funding and support to LGBTQ+ communities across North America, and for which they were named Billboard Canada Power Players in 2024.
