For the first time ever, they ask who one sister is without the other.Set in the present day, this effervescent blend of fiction and autobiography, with artwork from Eisner Award–winner Tillie Walden, offers a glimpse at the twin sisters before they became indie-pop icons, exploring their shifting relationship, their own experiences coming out, and the first steps of their musical journey.A prequel of sorts to the authors' bestselling adult memoir High School, now an 8-episode Freevee television series!

Happily Ever After gets a serious makeover in this swoony, non-stop, thrill-ride of a conclusion to the Trouble Is a Friend of Mine trilogyDigby and Zoe have been skirting around each other for so long that you might think they'd lose their magic if they ever actually hooked up.
