How to Find What You're Not Looking for by Veera Hiranandani

I loved this so much.  It's gotten me emotional over The Beatle's "She's Leaving Home". It reminded me of a book I was obsessed with as a teen, The Secret Life of Amanda K Woods.  Both are historical fiction about young girls finding their voice, seeing their parents are flawed people, watching their mothers be hard on their older sisters for their romantic choices, and developing close bonds with another girl their age.
