Title: Far From the Tree by Robin Benway

Book Beginning:
Grace hadn't really thought too much about homecoming. She knew she'd go, though.
Friday 56:
'Well, I guess the high was meeting Maya. And she's normal, I mean, at least she's not homicidal or anything.' 
Comment: Three teens discover that they are siblings they didn't know about since they were all put up for adoption as babies and adopted to different families. I'm about 1/3rd of the way through the book. It appears that the book is about them getting to know each other and looking for their birth mother. I could be wrong. This book won the National Book Award for Young Adult Literature.
