I wish I could remember what it’s called.
I read it in the late 90s, it’s a coming of age book about a girl (maybe her name was Miri?) who was less favored by her parents than her pious younger brother (maybe called Moshe?).
The girl grows older, develops a crush on her best friend, struggles with being overweight. At some point her brother who might have OCD or something drowns when he goes to toivel in the sea. Miri gets older, finds herself, becomes less religious and decides to be a writer.
Just writing out the synopsis I see that it’s a pretty depressing book - oh well, I enjoyed it as a non-frum teen. If you have any leads about what it’s called please let me know!

It's called Miriam. Can't remember who it's by. There's a weird thing with colored candy wrappers if I remember correctly.

Omg so happy to found someone who read it. Yes I actually thought it was called Miriam, but it was impossible to search for - I just got loads of results for books about the biblical Miriam. Thanks for replying, Simba.

Sure, why not! But only if you remember - no pressure whatsoever since it’s not something I actually “need” to know. Thank you.
