F (30) looking for a book like Elsewhere (Gabrielle Zevin), Girl With a Pearl Earring, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland— basically anything whimsical, coming of age and with a female protagonist. I want a book that will give me a good cry and feel healing. Preferably a book not geared towards very young girls. Would l like a book that is nostalgic, kind of how I felt reading Bridge to Terabithia, Because of Winn Dixie, etc., but again, nothing with a protagonist that is too young. Also, I’d like something that is written beautifully. Thank you!

Some of Tracy Chevalier’s other books might suit you. The Lady and the Unicorn. Remarkable Creatures.
Maybe ‘I Capture The Castle’ by Dodie Smith? The narrator is 17 and it’s a book about first love, very beautifully written and summery.
