I’m looking for any books about a teen or young adult who has a famous or really successful parent, and the main character is struggling to come into their own despite that. I know it’s a very specific request, but an example of what I’m looking for is a relationship dynamic between parent and child similar to in the movie Creed. The parent(s) doesn’t need to be out of the kid’s life nor does the book need to be about sports. Thanks!

Check out Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I’m not sure it precisely fits what you’re looking for, but it’s about four siblings who had a massively famous dad, which plays a big role in their lives
Rats Saw God is tangentially about a HS kid living under the shadow of his astronaut father. I would say this is a B-plot though it does drive a lot of the motivation for the A-plot. It is a fantastic book.
